text: We believe the processes we have put into place over the course of the year have steadily improved our ability to 
  identify material errors in Sprint financial information on a timely basis. As a result of the improved processes and 
  procedures we are continuing to develop and define, the Company is committed to monitor and evaluate the 
  effectiveness of its improvements in controls related to information provided by Sprint and to continue to improve 
  these processes. 
  
  In preparation for the requirements imposed under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we have retained an 
  outside consulting firm to assist us in reviewing and documenting our internal control processes.
