Section 302
Certifications
6.
We note that your Section 302 certifications do not comply with the language
required by Item 601(31) of Regulation S-K in the following
respects:
-
The identification of the certifying individual at the beginning of the
certifications required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-14(a) also includes the title
of the certifying individual. The identification of the certifying
individual at the beginning of the certifications should be revised so as not to
include the individual’s title.
-
In paragraph 2, you identify the wrong periodic reports (i.e., you refer to a
Form 10-KSB/A when the certifications are filed with your annual report on Form
10-KSB.) The identification of the report in paragraph 2 should correspond to
the associated filing.
-
The head note to paragraph 4 does not include a reference to internal control
over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f)).
-
Paragraph 4(b) as defined in Item 601(31) of Regulation S-K was not

Please
revise to address each of the matters noted above.

Form 10-QSB for the
Quarterly Period Ended March 31, 2008
7.
Beginning February 4, 2008, companies formerly classified as “small business
issuers” under Regulation S-B must file their quarterly reports on Form 10-Q
after they have filed an annual report for a fiscal year ending after December
15, 2007. Although small business issuers are now required to file on
Form 10-Q, the disclosure requirements of that form are now tailored for smaller
companies. We note that your quarterly report for the first quarter
of fiscal year 2008 was on Form 10-QSB and no Form 10-Q. Although we
are not asking you to correct that filing just to reflect the proper form type,
we ask that you review your filing requirements and consider whether any action
is necessary if your recently filed quarterly reports do not contain all
required information. In any event, you should file your next
quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Response to Comment
7: The quarterly report for the quarter ended June 30, 2008
has been filed with the commission on Form 10-Q on August 19,
2008. In addition, the Company is preparing an amended quarterly
report for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 on Form 10-Q. This amended form will
be filed with the Commission no later than August 26, 2008.
8.
Please revise your quarterly report, as necessary, to comply with the comments
above on your Form 10-KSB (e.g. Section 302 certifications).
Response to Comment 8: The
Company has prepared an amended Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31,
2008 and June 30, 2008, including section 302 certifications that have been
revised to comply with Comment 6 above.
Sincerely,
