1. Paragraph 1(iii) of your disclosure states the decision to change accountants was approved by the board of directors on December 8, 2005. Since the former accountants chose not to stand for reappointment on December 20, 2005, please revise clarify the meaning of this paragraph. 2. Paragraph 1(iv) of your disclosure states , “[d]uring the registrant’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through December 8, 2005 (the date of dismissal)….” Since the former accountants chose not to stand for reappointment, please change the language that states they were dismissed. Also, please revise to clarify if there were any disagreements with the former accountants from December 8, 2005 to December 20, 2005 (the date the former accounts chose not to stand for reappointment) since paragraph 1(iv) only addresses the period through December 8, 2005. 3. We note your disclosure in your paragraph 2(vi)(a). In the last sentence of the former accountant’s letter dated December 23, 2005, they state information to the contrary. Please revise the Form to reconcile this apparent inconsistency.
