                           Form 8-K, filed October 6, 2004

Dear Sirs/Madams:

         In response to the comment letter by the Commission, dated October 8,
2004, related to the captioned filing, the Company has today filed Form 8-K/A,
Amendment No. 1, amending the filing. In addition, as requested in the
Commission's letter, the Company hereby acknowledges that:

         -    the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the
              disclosure in the filings;

         -    staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff
              comments in filings reviewed by the staff do not foreclose the
              Commission from taking any action with respect to the filings;
              and

         -    the Company 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.

                                          Sincerely,

                                          W. Phillip Marcum,
                                          President and Chief Executive Officer
