Unaudited Opinion

  

So...the numbers came in. The CFO is presenting them to the Board of Directors. They look "clean." The company had expected $73.4 million in revenues and $11.8 in earnings, and that's about what the CFO presented.

But...she opined that these numbers are unaudited. They haven't had a neutral set of eyes on them. They're most likely accurate, but...they may not be. And for legal filing purposes, they're all just guesses. Until an outside party has taken a hard, cold look at the numbers, they don't mean nothin'.
