| At a recent meeting, the audit partner from Sloan Partners LLP advised us that our accounting system did not provide enough internal control. The team at Infonumerix Inc. immediately went to work and installed a better system for us and trained our staff. The new system provides better controls and reports for us. We are thrilled with the results! |

TAX ANGST!
A taxpayer recently wrote to the Canada Revenue Agency confessing to intentionally underpaying his taxes. His letter read:
"I have been unable to sleep knowing that I have cheated on my taxes. I understated my income and have enclosed a cheque for $15,000. If I still cannot sleep, then I will send the rest."
