Regulation S -K in the response to comment two, your response to comment one stated
that there were no grants of plan based awards.  Please note that Item 402(p) refers to the
outstanding equity awards table, not the grants of plan ba sed awards table.  In addition,
we note that you made restricted stock awards to two executive officers in fiscal year

2. We partially reissue comment two in our letter dated February 27, 2013.  The dollar

column, and the totals do not match up.  Please revise or advise.

Please revise to include the requisite information with respect to the shares of Series C
Preferred stock beneficially owned by Richard A. Woods.  Please revise to include more
precise percentages.  In this regard, please spec ify the precise percentage in lieu of

with respect to the directors and executive officers as a group, including Series D
Preferred stock.
