Legends Business Group, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: LGBS) President and CEO
Larry Powalisz issued the following letter to shareholders:
Dear Legends Business Group Shareholders,
In light of our nation's current economic and business
environment, my management team and I have decided to file SEC Form
15 Certification And Notice Of Termination Of Registration Under
Section 12(G) Of The Securities Exchange Act Of 1934 OR Suspension
Of Duty To File Reports Under Sections 13 And 15(D) Of The
Securities Exchange Act Of 1934. As a result we will continue to be
listed on the Pink Sheets.
The costs and benefits associated with corporate governance and
compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 have become a
liability on shareholder value rather than an asset. Collectively,
we have decided that, for economic reasons, we will allow Legends
Business Group, Inc., (LGBS OTCBB) to move to "Pink Sheets" and
allow shareholder value to be truly reflected in our stock
price.
While section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley requires Chief Executive
Officers to certify the accuracy of financial statements, it also
requires that outside auditors "attest to" the soundness of the
internal controls used in preparing the statements. Costs
associated with compliance of this regulation typically reach well
into six figures for a company the size of Legends Business Group,
Inc.
The LGBS management team unanimously decided that corporate
resources could be better spent on IT systems, key staff and other
critical areas of our business as opposed to the redundant
duplication of standard operating accounting procedures mandated by
Sarbanes-Oxley.
This is a controlled and strategic move. As President and CEO of
Legends Business Group, I would like to make clear that our
business is sound; we have secured our place in a niche market and
believe there is significant growth potential for the foreseeable
future. Our move to the Pink Sheets makes no difference to the
company's business in any way. This is merely a strategic move to
preserve shareholder value.
On behalf of the entire Legend's management team, I thank all
shareholders for your continued interest and support of our
company.
Sincerely,
Larry Powalisz
President and CEO
Legends Business Group, Inc.
