SEC 1344 (6/94)
In January 2002 all of the publicly held shares of Aquila Merchant Services, Inc. were acquired by the 80% parent company of Aquila Merchant Serices, Inc. in a tender offer and short-form merger. In anticipation of this event, in December 2001 we submitted to the Commission a "no-action letter" request asking for confirmation that it was no longer necessary for Aquila Merchant Services, Inc. to file reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 because it had no public shareholders. Because there were a number of precedents supporting our position, we were confident that the no-action letter request would be granted and accordingly a separate 10-K for Aquila Merchant Services, Inc. was not prepared. In late February 2002, we were advised by the Commission that a 10-K would be required. We have been diligently working towards completion of the 10-K since the notification was received.
