This Information Statement is being furnished to the stockholders of SKYE International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“SKYE,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) regarding our resolutions to approve amendments to our Articles of Incorporation, elect directors for the coming year and retain Mantyla McReynolds LLC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the coming year.

QUORUM AND VOTING REQUIREMENTS
Quorum Requirement
A majority of the voting power that is present, in person or by proxy, regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on all matters, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders. If less than a quorum is represented at a meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting without further notice for a period not to exceed 60 days at any one adjournment. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. The stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of stockholders so that less than a quorum remains.
Vote Required
If a quorum is present, action by the stockholders on a matter other than the election of directors is approved if the number of votes cast in favor of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action. Each outstanding share, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote, and each fractional share shall be entitled to a corresponding fractional vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders, except as may be otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or in the resolution providing for the issuance of the stock adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to authority expressly vested in it by the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation. Cumulative voting shall not be allowed.
Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.
Approval of the amendments to the Articles of Incorporation requires the approval of a majority of the voting power.
In determining the number of votes cast for or against a proposal, shares abstaining from voting on a matter (including elections) will not be treated as a vote for or against the proposal. A non-vote by a broker will be treated as if the broker never voted, but a non-vote by a stockholder will be counted as a vote “for” the management’s position.
BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP AND OTHER MATTERS
Record Date
The record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting was the close of business on July 7, 2010 (the “Record Date”), at which time we had issued and outstanding 16,277,323 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”). The shares of Common Stock constitute the only outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting.

Changes in Control

Interests of Directors and Officers in Matters to be Acted Upon
Other than the election of the nominated directors, no director or officer, or associate of any director or officer or any other person will receive extra or special benefit from the matters described herein which is not shared on a pro rata basis by all other holders of securities of the same class in accordance with their respective interests.
ITEM 1. INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED CAPITAL
The first item to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting is the approval of amendments to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 100,000,000 and to create 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Company’s authorized currently consists of 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
Common Stock. The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. We do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Subject to preferences that may be granted to any then outstanding preferred stock, holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor as well as any distributions to the shareholders. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or
winding up, holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets remaining after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preference of any then outstanding preferred stock. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive or other subscription orconversion rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock.
Preferred Stock. The proposed amendment would create 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share. The Board of Directors would be authorized to establish classes or series of preferred stock and fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such class or series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof without any further vote or action by our stockholders. Any shares of preferred stock so issued would have priority over our Common Stock with respect to dividend or liquidation rights. Any future issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control without further action by our stockholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of our Common Stock.
The issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase such shares, could be used to discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal. For instance, the issuance of a series of preferred stock might impede a business combination by including class voting rights that would enable a holder to block such a transaction. In addition, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our Common Stock. Although our Board of Directors is required to make any determination to issue preferred stock based on its judgment as to the best interests of our stockholders, our Board could act in a manner that would discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction that some, or a majority, of our stockholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which such stockholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then market price of such stock. Our Board presently does not intend to seek stockholder approval prior to the issuance of currently authorized stock, unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange rules.
Proposals to Issue Shares. In our pending Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings, we have submitted a plan of reorganization (the “Plan”). The bankruptcy court has set a hearing date of August 24, 2010 to confirm the Plan. Under the terms of the Plan, we may issue shares of Common Stock and preferred stock as follows:
Preferred
Stock

Common

Unknown number

5,000,000

Summit Growth Management, LLC
|
At Summit’s option, debt owing under the Final Post-Confirmation Funding of up to $1,000,000 may be converted into preferred stock of SKYE. Summit’s preferred series of convertible stock shall have dividend preference (cumulative or accrued dividend equal to 10% per annum), liquidation preference, anti-dilution rights, and conversion rights to common at a ratio based on the ten (10) day moving average of the closing price of SKYE’s Common Stock for the period prior to a call for conversion with a floor of $0.20 per share and a ceiling of $0.25 per share. Anti-dilution provision will provide rights only to purchase any offering in an amount sufficient to retain then current equity participation.
|
Maximum of 2,284,475 shares
|
Maximum of 9,137,900 shares
|
Creditors holding unsecured claims in the total allowed amount of $2,284,475.11
|
Creditors will be given various repayment alternatives from which to choose, some of which involve the issuance of Common Stock or preferred shares which are convertible into shares of Common Stock. The preferred shares would be redeemable, pay a dividend of 10% annually, and be convertible into common shares at a price discounted from the trading price at the time, but no lower than $0.25 per share.
|
Before any shares are issued, the Plan must be confirmed by bankruptcy court. The court may confirm the Plan if at least one non-insider impaired class of claims has accepted and certain statutory requirements are met as to both non-consenting members within a consenting class of claims and as to dissenting classes of claims. A class of claims has accepted the Plan when more than one-half in number and at least two-thirds in amount of the allowed claims actually voting, vote in favor of the Plan. Even if the requisite number of votes to confirm the Plan is obtained, the Plan will not bind the parties unless and until the bankruptcy court makes an independent determination that confirmation is appropriate.
In addition, SKYE has granted options to purchase shares of its Common Stock as compensation. As of the date of this Information Statement, options to purchase a total of 3,360,000 are outstanding.
The foregoing information as to proposals to issued shares of Common Stock may be summarized as follows:

16,277,323

|

|
Less authorized number of common shares
|
-25,000,000
|
Shortfall
|

|
The Board of Directors believes it advisable to authorize a number of shares greater than what is needed at present, so that SKYE will be well-positioned for several years. Accordingly, the Board has advised that the Company amend its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 100,000,000 and to authorize 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
ITEM 2. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The second item to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting is the election of three directors to our Board of Directors. Each of the persons elected will serve a term of one year and until the election and qualification of his or her successor. We are not aware of any material proceedings to which any of the nominee directors, or any associate of any such director, is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us or to any of our subsidiaries. Each nominee has consented to being named as a nominee and to serve if elected.
Director candidates were nominated by the Board of Directors. To date, it has not been necessary to engage a third party search firm to assist in identifying suitable candidates for directors. The Board of Directors believes that our existing Board members and executive management have sufficient networks of business contacts to form a suitable candidate pool from which nominees may be identified in the future.
If any Director nominee named in this information statement shall become unable or decline to serve (an event which the Board does not anticipate), a substitute may be nominated and elected.

Perry Logan has been a director of the Company since January 2007 and became an officer of the Company in May 2007. His business career is centered predominantly in the automotive industry as an owner of several major dealerships in the greater Phoenix area as well as interests in dealerships in other regions since 1965. Mr. Logan was one of the earliest investors in the Company since his first investments in 2003.
Mr. Logan has worked closely with the new products that the Company has developed and was instrumental in building the management team to grow the Company. Mr. Logan is suited to act as a director because of his long history with the Company, as well as his 50-year career of building and managing sales organizations.
Thaddeus (Ted) F. Marek, Secretary/Treasurer, CFO, CAO, Director and Member of Audit Committee and chairman of Corporate Governance Committee
Ted Marek has been a director of the Company since January 2007 and became an officer of the Company in October 2007. He is currently the Principal and Designated Broker of Ted Marek Real Estate Co., Inc. in Scottsdale, Arizona. Mr. Marek has been active in the Phoenix commercial real estate market for over 30 years. He has been very instrumental in the movement and placement of automotive dealerships, site selection, sales and acquisitions in the Phoenix Metro area.
Mr. Marek was chosen to act as a director because of his close working knowledge of the Company's products, as well as his 40 years of experience in entrepreneurial start-ups, sales and the management of sales teams.
Wesley G. Sprunk, Director, Member of Corporate Governance and Audit Committees
Wes Sprunk has been a director of the Company since May 2006. He has been the President of Tire Service Equipment Mfg., Inc. and Saf-Tee Siping & Grooving, Inc. since September 1998. The main office for these companies is in Phoenix, Arizona with manufacturing plants in Alamogordo, New Mexico and Monticello, Minnesota. Tire Service Equipment Mfg., Inc./Saf-Tee Siping & Grooving, Inc. manufactures automotive wheel service equipment and recycling equipment. It markets these products in the U.S. and foreign countries and presently has 300+ distributors. Mr. Sprunk is also a Board member with Amerityre Corporation, a former NASDAQ public company now traded on the Bulletin Board (OTCBB: AMTY) located in Boulder City, Nevada. Amerityre specializes in urethane polycomposites and the company’s mission is to replace rubber in most applications, including tires.
Mr. Sprunk is suited to be a director because of his prior public experience with a NASDAQ listed company, as well as Mr. Sprunk's experience in building and managing a sales and distribution organization with more than 300 distributors.
There are no family relationships between any of our nominee directors. During the last five years, none of the nominee directors has (i) had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was an officer; (ii) had any conviction in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (iii) been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or (iv) been found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law.
Information Regarding the Board of Directors and Certain Committees
Perry D. Logan, our Chief Executive Officer, functions as the interim chairman of the board. We believe that this leadership structure is appropriate at present due to our limited operations and activities while we are in reorganization.
The Board of Directors’ primary responsibility is to seek to maximize long-term stockholder value. The Board of Directors selects our management, monitors management and Company performance, and provides advice and counsel to management. Among other things, the Board of Directors regularly reviews our business strategy and approves our budget. In fulfilling the Board of Directors’ responsibilities, non-employee directors have full access to our management, external auditors and outside advisers.
The Board of Directors held four meetings during 2009. No director attended fewer than 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and of the Committees of which the director was a member during 2009. We expect each member of our Board of Directors to attend the Annual Meeting and all future meetings of stockholders. The Company has never had an annual meeting of stockholders. The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee and a Corporate Governance Committee.
The Audit Committee, currently consisting of Messrs. Marek and Sprunk, provides the opportunity for direct contact between our independent registered public accounting firm and our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has determined that one of the members of the committee is independent in accordance with applicable rules of The NASDAQ Global Market and that Mr. Marek meets the SEC criteria of an “audit committee financial expert.” The Audit Committee engages the independent registered public accounting firm, reviews with the independent registered public accounting firm the plans and results of the audit engagement, reviews the adequacy of our internal accounting controls and oversees our financial reporting process. The Audit Committee held two meetings during 2009. The Audit Committee does not currently have a written charter or similar document.
The Corporate Governance Committee, currently consisting of Messrs. Logan and Marek, amongst other duties, determines all compensation paid or awarded to our executive officers and senior officers. The Board of Directors has determined that none of its current members is independent in accordance with applicable rules of The NASDAQ Global Market. The Corporate Governance Committee held six meetings during 2009. The Corporate Governance Committee does not currently have a written charter or similar document.
The Company does not have a standing nominating committee or committee performing similar functions. Due to the small size of the Board of Directors, all directors participate in carrying out nominating responsibilities. In identifying qualified individuals to become directors, the Board of Directors selects candidates whose attributes it believes would be most beneficial to the Company. The Board evaluates each individual’s experience, integrity, competence, diversity skills and dedication in the context of the needs to the Board. The Board of Directors generally will require that nominees be persons of sound ethical character, be able to represent all stockholders fairly, have no material conflicts of interest, have demonstrated professional achievement, and have meaningful experience and a general appreciation of the business and industry issues facing the Company. The Board does not have a policy with regard to stockholder nominations; however, it will consider qualified nominees recommended by the stockholders.
Director Compensation
Each of our non-employee directors receives reimbursement for expenses of attendance for each scheduled meeting that requires physical attendance. There was no compensation paid to any of our directors for our last completed fiscal year.
Conflicts of Interest and Related Party Transactions
Other than as disclosed below, none of the Company’s present directors, officers or principal shareholders, nor any family member of the foregoing, nor, to the best of the Company’s information and belief, any of its former directors, senior officers or principal shareholders, nor any family member of such former directors, officers or
principal shareholders has or had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or will materially affect the Company.

On September 17, 2008, we executed a convertible debenture in favor of the Steven G. Mihaylo Trust, as restated, dated December 13, 2001 the (“Mihaylo Trust”) pursuant to which we received a working capital facility of up to $1,500,000 (the “Debenture”). $900,000 was owed under the debenture at December 31, 2008. During fiscal 2009 we fully drew down the $1,500,000 available to us under the Debenture and applied such funds towards general working capital purposes including, specifically, funds that enabled us to commence the commercial production and sale of our patented FORTIS™ line of electric tankless water heaters, as well as obtain the certification and commercialization of a suite of products utilizing our patented Paradigm™ technology. With respect to the $1,500,000 drawn by us under the Debenture, all funds must be repaid on or before the expiration of the Debenture on September 16, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”). We have agreed to pay interest on any outstanding principal amount under the Debenture at the rate of 10% per annum, compounded annually from the date of each draw, and payable on the Maturity Date. We have reserved the right to prepay the Debenture without penalty upon giving Notice. The Mihaylo Trust has the right to convert, at any time, all or any portion of the Debenture into shares of our Common Stock at the conversion rate of $0.25 per share (subject to adjustment in the event of certain corporate restructuring events as described in the terms of the Debenture). All such shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion shall be restricted securities and thus will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The entire unpaid and unredeemed balance of the Debenture and all interest accrued and unpaid shall, at the election of the Mihaylo Trust, be and become immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of certain events of default including: (a) the non-payment when due of principal and interest or of any other payment as provided in the Debenture; (b) if we, excluding any subsidiary or affiliate of ours (i) applies for or consents to the appointment of, or if there shall be a taking of possession by a receiver, custodian, trustee or liquidator for us or any of our property; (ii) become generally unable to pay our debts as they become due; (iii) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or becomes insolvent; (iv) file or are served with any petition for relief under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal or state statute; or (v) default with respect to any evidence of indebtedness or liability for borrowed money, or any such indebtedness shall not be paid as and when due and payable, and (c) any failure to issue and deliver shares of Common Stock as provided in the Debenture.
On December 16, 2009, SKYE executed a $2,000,000 Debtor in Possession, Interim Financing and Post-Confirmation Funding Agreement (the “DIP Financing Agreement”) with Summit Growth Management, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company controlled by Steven G. Mihaylo (“Summit”). Under the terms of the DIP Financing Agreement, Summit loaned $1,000,000, half of which was disbursed upon the Court’s approval of the Funding Agreement and the other half of which was disbursed approximately 60 days after the first disbursement. Summit will loan an additional $1,000,000 (“Post-Confirmation Financing”), half of which will be disbursed within ten days after entry of an order confirming a Reorganization Plan and the other half of which will
be disbursed six months thereafter. As of the date of this Information Statement, the Company has been advanced a total of $1,100,000 before deduction of fees and expenses. All amounts drawn under the DIP Financing Agreement bear interest at 10% per annum and are secured by all of the assets of SKYE. Principal and interest under the Interim DIP Financing shall be due at the later of (i) the entry of a final decree closing the bankruptcy proceeding or (ii) two years from the initial disbursement of the Interim DIP Financing. Principal and interest under the Post-Confirmation Financing shall be due two years from the date of the initial disbursement of the Post-Confirmation Financing. Subject to a prior repayment of the first $1,000,000 advanced to the Company under the DIP Financing Agreement, the Post Confirmation Funding of $1,000,000 will continue as a revolving credit facility available to the Company.

Future Transactions. All future affiliated transactions are expected to be made or entered into on terms that are no less favorable to the Company than those that can be obtained from any unaffiliated third party. A majority of the independent, disinterested members of the Company’s Board of Directors are asked to approve future affiliated transactions. The Company believes that all of the transactions described above have been on terms as favorable to it as could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties as a result of arm’s length negotiations.
Conflicts of Interest. In accordance with the laws applicable to the Company, its directors are required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the Company’s best interests. In the event that a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the Board of Directors, a director who has such a conflict is expected to disclose the nature and extent of his interest to those present at the meeting and to abstain from voting for or against the approval of the matter in which he has a conflict.
Director Independence
Our Common Stock trades in the OTC Bulletin Board. As such, we are not currently subject to corporate governance standards of listed companies, which require, among other things, that the majority of the board of directors be independent.
Since we are not currently subject to corporate governance standards relating to the independence of our directors, we choose to define an “independent” director in accordance with the NASDAQ Global Market’s requirements for independent directors (NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2)). The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not an employee of the company and has not engaged in various types of business dealings with the company.
Wesley G. Sprunk is the only independent director under the above definition. We do not list that definition on our Internet website.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Officers, directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities are required to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The following table sets forth reports that were not filed on a timely basis during the most recently completed fiscal year:

Director Indemnification
Under the corporate laws of the State of Nevada and our Articles of Incorporation, we have broad powers to indemnify our directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Our Bylaws also provide for mandatory indemnification of our directors and executive officers, and permissive indemnification of our employees and agents, to the fullest extent permissible under Nevada law. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling our Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Stockholder Communications
The Company has no policy regarding stockholder communications; however, stockholders may contact any of the Company’s directors by writing to them at Suite 104, 7701 East Gray Road, Scottsdale, Arizona 85260. Historically, the Board has not received stockholder communications and therefore, the Board does not have a formal process in place for handling such communications.

ITEM 3. RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The second item to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting is the ratification of the Board of Directors’ selection of our independent registered public accounting firm.
The Board of Directors has appointed Mantyla McReynolds LLC (“Mantyla”) as our independent registered public accounting firm to examine our financial statements for the current fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 and to perform other appropriate accounting services.
On September 14, 2009, we dismissed Seale & Beers, LLC as our independent registered public accounting firm, and engaged Mantyla. Our Board of Directors of the registrant approved of the dismissal of Seale & Beers and the engagement of Mantyla as our independent auditor. Mantyla has no relationship with us other than that arising from their employment as our independent registered public accounting firm.
As we engaged Seale & Beers as of August 10, 2009, Seale & Beers did not issue a report on our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 or 2007.
During our two most recent fiscal years and the period through September 14, 2009, there were no disagreements with Seale & Beers on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Seale & Beers, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report. Further, there were no reportable events as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurring during our two most recent fiscal years and the period through September 14, 2009.
During the period prior to the engagement of Mantyla, neither we nor anyone on our behalf consulted Mantyla regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, or any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. Further, Mantyla has not provided written or oral advice to us that was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues.
We provided a copy of the foregoing disclosures to Seale & Beers prior to the date of the filing of our report on Form 8-K and requested that Seale & Beers furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agreed with the statements in Item 4.01 of our Form 8-K. A copy of the letter furnished in response to that request was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the Form 8-K.
While we are not required to do so, we are submitting the appointment of Mantyla to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 for ratification in order to ascertain the views of our stockholders on this appointment. If the appointment is not ratified, the Board of Directors will reconsider its selection.
Audit Fees. During the year ended December 31, 2009, Moore & Associates, Chartered, billed the Company $12,500 for the audit of the 2008 annual financial statements. In August 2009, we were informed that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) revoked the registration of Moore & Associates, which was serving as our independent auditors. The revocation was a result of Moore’s violation of PCAOB rules and auditing standards. This revocation of Moore’s registration required us to have the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 reaudited. Therefore, we engaged the services of Mantyla to re-audit the 2008 annual financial statement and to review the 2009 quarterly and audit the 2009 annual financial statements. During the year ended December 31, 2009, Mantyla billed us $12,500 for their services.
Audit-Related Fees. There were no fees billed for services reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements outside of those fees disclosed above under “Audit Fees” for fiscal years 2009 and 2008.
Tax Fees. There were no fees billed for professional services rendered by our principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning for fiscal years 2009 and 2008.
All Other Fees. There were no fees billed for products and services provided by our principal accountant, other than the services reported above, for fiscal years 2009 and 2008.
Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. Prior to engaging the accountants or auditors to perform a particular service, the Company’s Board of Directors obtains an estimate for the service to be performed. The Board in accordance with Company procedures approved all of the services described above.
Representatives of Mantyla are not expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. However, if representatives should attend, they will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.
REPORT OF AUDIT COMMITTEE
The audit committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management, as discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by the statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended. The audit committee received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountant required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent accountant the independent accountant’s independence. Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the audit committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in our annual report on Form 10-K.
