2.We note that the independent auditors’ report includes a disclaimer opinion on the
financial statements of Greenleaf. Please note that Rule 2-02(c) of Regulation S-X
requires the clear expression of an opinion on the financial statements, and a disclaimer
does not satisfy the requirements of Article 2 of Regulation S-X. The reference to the
compilation is also not appropriate. Please have your auditor revise their report to comply
with the requirements of Article 2 of Regulation S-X.
