During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, and through January 17, 2011 there were (i) no disagreements with Li 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 Li, would have caused Li to make reference thereto in its report on the Company’s financial statements for such fiscal year; and (ii) no reportable events as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K.
