Participants in an FCA are required to file tax returns for all tax years they had a filing obligation in this state. If
participants state they only have records available for preparing accurate tax returns for a limited number of tax
years, FTB requires a statement under penalty of perjury attesting to that fact. If applicable, do the participants have
someone who is knowledgeable about their records and able to make such a statement under penalty of perjury
under the laws of the State of California?

If the participants have a California Secretary of State number, when was it registered and is it still active?
