After reviewing any amendment to your filing and the information you provide in response to these comments, we ma y have additional comments. 1. Your response to prior comment 1 states th at your operations have been “real” and not “existing in name only.” Your response fu rther states that the assets you held are “consistent with a media and advertising company.” However, given your prior disclosures regarding the impact of the “Termination Agreements” on your operations and subsequently entering into an agreement to assist you in effecting a reverse merger “with an operating business,” it continue s to appear that you abandoned your prior business activities and that the assets referen ced in your response were unrelated to the activities you were conducting at l east as of the date of that agreement. Therefore, it also continues to appear that your a ssets and operations were nominal at least as of that date. Please revise your disclosure accordingly.
