Shughart, Jr., Esquire, court-appointed Auditor in regard to the above matter respectfully represents as follows: 1. Your Petitioner, Dale F. Shughart, Jr., Esquire, was appointed auditor by Honorable J. Wesley Oler, Jr. on April 24, 2007 in regard to Objections filed by Amanda B. Reed and Araminta Finn to the accounting filed by the Trustee of the May M. Moore Five Year Charitable Lead Annuity Trust. 2. The undersigned Auditor assumed his responsibilities, obtained and reviewed the file, and wrote to the attorneys for the parties, Lowell R. Gates, Esquire, for the Trustee, and James M. Stein, Esquire, for the Objectors, scheduling a pre-hearing conference for Friday, May 25, 2007. 3. After receipt of the Auditor's Notice scheduling the conference both attorneys contacted him and advised him that they had agreed the proceedings should be held in abeyance until an accounting was filed by co-Trustee Keeler and Danner, Financial Services, LLP. Both counsel confirmed this agreement in writing. 4. It is the understanding of the Auditor that the request for an Audit by Keeler and Danner has been filed and that such proceedings are pending before the Court. 5. Pa.O.C. Rule 8.2 provides that the Auditor shall file a Report within 90 days OF HIS APPOINTMENT unless the Court shall extend the time. 6. The 90 day period established by Judge Oler's Order of April 24 expires on Monday, July 23, 2007. 7. The Applicant believes and therefore avers that due to the complexity of the issues and the fact that the parties are awaiting a separate account from the co-Trustee, that the Court should create an additional period of six months for the Auditor to complete his duties and responsibilities in regard to this matter and file his Report as required by the Pa.O.C. WHEREFORE, the Applicant, Dale F. Shughart, Jr., court- appointed Auditor, respectfully prays Your Honorable Court to extend the term of his appointment for an additional six months, -2- commencing on Tuesday, July 24 and terminating on Wednesday, January 23, 2008. ., Esquire Court .D. 19373 10 West High Street Carlisle, PA 17013 (717) 241-4311 Court-appointed Auditor VERIFICATION Dale F.
