Dear Mr. Larsen:

      We have reviewed your filings and have the following
additional comments.  If you disagree, we will consider your
explanation as to why our comments are inapplicable.  Please be
as
detailed as necessary in your explanation.  In some of our
comments, we may ask you to provide us with supplemental
information so we may better understand your disclosure.  After
reviewing this information, we may or may not raise additional
comments.

      Please understand that the purpose of our review process
is
to assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure
requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your
filing.
We look forward to working with you in these respects.  We
welcome
any questions you may have about our comments or on any other
aspect of our review.  Feel free to call us at the telephone

1. Item 304(a)(1)(ii) of Regulation S-K requires a statement
whether the accountant`s report on the financial statements for
either of the past two years contained an adverse opinion or a
disclaimer of opinion or was qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles; and a
description of the nature of each such adverse opinion,
disclaimer
of opinion, modification or qualification.  This would include
disclosure of uncertainty regarding the ability to continue as a
going concern in the accountant`s report.

registrant`s
two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period
through the date of resignation, declination or dismissal there
were any disagreements with the former accountant on any matter
of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure,
or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not
resolved to the satisfaction of the former accountant, would
have
caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement(s) in connection with its reports.  In the event of
disagreement(s) and/or reportable event(s), provide the specific
disclosures required by Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v) of Regulation
S-

4. To the extent that you make changes to the Form 8-K to comply
with our comments, please obtain and file an updated Exhibit 16
letter from the former accountants stating whether the
accountant
agrees with the statements made in your revised Form 8-K.
