its balance sheet as filed in its most recent quarterly report on Form 10 -Q and revise the

on proposal 6A they will be able to only check a box. On the other hand, if security

the form of proxy card to present proposals 6A and 6B separately and provide
instructions, in connection with proposal 6B, to allow security holders to indicate if they
will cumulate their votes and how to document such cumulating in the card.
14. Please tell us what consideration you have given to distributing two separate proxy cards,
one for the California company and one for the Delaware company.
15. Please revise the proxy card to pro vide security holders the opportunity to withhold
authority with respect to any other registrant nominee by writing the name of that
nominee on the form of proxy . See Rule 14a -4(d)(4)(iii).
We remind you that the filing persons are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of
their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the staff .
