"The Callitas management team has every intention of meeting this filing obligation. The management team has been finalizing our corporate reporting documents and expect to fulfill the Commission's requirements. In addition, we are preparing to report our second quarter financial results and earnings, as well as provide a detailed shareholder report shortly after September 30, 2018, to further our reporting standards and corporate transparency. We intend to file all future regulatory documents according to the Commission's schedule."
