State whether any information has been omitted on this basis and provide the reasons for any omission in sufficient detail to permit the Commission to exercise its discretion under section 169 (4) of the Act.

The reasons for the omission may be contained in a separate letter filed in an envelope marked “Confidential - Attention: Supervisor, Financial Reporting ”.
