I would support moving to quarterly filings and payments for my brewery operations. We produced about 2,600 bbls in 2012. Currently we pay bi-montly and file monthly reports. I estimate that I spend about 5 hours a month or 60 hours a year working on these reports. Labor cost wise since I do these myself it cost the company about $6,000 a year for me to complete these reports. I am the President of the company and this proves to be a significant part of my time. Moving to quarterly I estimate that I could cut down the time and save the company about $4,000 dollars a year changing to quarterly filing. -Jason
