An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amount and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of

well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
