(1) I am a Principal and Accountant with MRPR CPAs & Advisors, a regional CPA firm. I am located at One Northwestern Plaza, 28411 Northwestern Hwy, Suite 800, Southfield, MI 48034-5538. I have been with the CPA firm since 01/1985. I work approximately 160 hours a month. I provide services that are typical of public accounting, including tax return preparation, consulting, and bookkeeping to a variety of different clients and businesses. Most of my work is during securities trading hours. My employment is not securities-related or investment-related. (2) I am a Board Member and Treasurer for Kiwanis Club Detroit #1, a not-for-profit organization located at P.O. Box 2041, Detroit, MI 48202. I have participated in this activity since 10/2000. I attend periodic board meetings, prepare treasurer reports, and handle the finances for the organization, which might include paying bills and depositing donations received. I devote approximately 1-5 hours per month to this activity, mostly during non-securities trading hours.
