2. You disclose that the financial statements should be restated
due
to two separate and very different issues: accounting errors and
discontinued operations. Please clarify and quantify in your
disclosures the effects of each of these two issues on the major
components of your financial statements.
Please file your response and amendment via EDGAR in response
to
these comments within 5 business days after the date of this
letter.
Please contact the staff immediately if you require longer than 5
business days to respond.
We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and
adequacy of the disclosure in the filing reviewed by the staff to
be
certain that they have provided all information investors require
for
an informed decision. Since the registrant and its management are
in
possession of all facts relating to a registrant`s disclosure,
they
are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures
they
have made.
In connection with responding to our comments, please
provide,
in writing, a statement from the registrant acknowledging that:
* the registrant is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of
the
disclosure in the filing;
* staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff
comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action
with
respect to the filing; and
* the registrant may not assert staff comments as a defense in any
proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the
federal securities laws of the United States.
In addition, please be advised that the Division of Enforcement
has
access to all information you provide to the staff of the Division
of
Corporation Finance in our review of your filing or in response to
our comments on your filing.
If you have any questions, please call me at (202) 551-3606.
In
my absence, you may call Brian Cascio, Branch Chief at (202) 551-
3676.
Sincerely,
Jeanne Bennett
Staff Accountant
