In other NRC news, we would like to note that in the past 9 months, NRC has begun the process or rebuilding itself. Of particular note, the NRC Board of Directors has reversed their decision to file for bankruptcy and accepted a restructuring plan proposed by many former and current board memebers and have been seeking voluntary renegotiation of NRC's debt with creditors. Currently, about half of the NRC's nearly $600,000 in debt having been successfully renegotiated.
