Amendment No. 1 to Current Report on Form 8-K Filed November 12, 2010 File No. 033-02783-S
Dear Mr. Cola:
We have reviewed your amendment and comm ent response letter and have the following
comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we
may better understand your disclosure.
Please respond to this letter within ten business days by amending your filing, by
providing the requested information or by advising us when you will provide the requested response. If you do not believe our comments a pply to your facts and circumstances or do not
believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition of Assets, page 3
Business, page 4
1. We note your response to comment five of our letter dated October 14, 2010. However,
your revised disclosure does not appear to address the potential affect of governmental
regulations on your operations. In light of your current contracts with US Air Force
Material Research Laboratory and your assertion that ARMSTM technology is designed for
weapon’s application, we believe that a disc ussion of the application of government
regulations, particularly government contracti ng requirements, is appropriate. If you do
not believe that government regulations are ma terial to your operations, please tell us
why in your response.
