Dear Shareholders,

It is with sadness that I announce that we will have finished the complete liquidation of Clef, Inc., later today. After sustaining unexpected hardships over the past few months, we were finally able to pay all of our liabilities to our third party creditors on July 4 earlier this year. Today, the continued unexpected adversity has officially won the war, and we will be locking our doors for the last time this evening.

The details of the liquidation have been finalized, and the following distributions will occur before the end of today:

  1. Son will receive a building and a computer.
  2. Dawn will receive a concert grand piano, an electronic keyboard, and $82,000 in cash.

After these distributions have been made, Clef will have no other assets other than an amount reserved for taxes.

Thank you both for your dedication and perseverance to Clef; we could not have operated for this long if it was not for the two of you. The rest of us here at Clef wish you nothing but the best in both of your respective future endeavors.

Sincerely,

George Casio, CEO
