Dear Mr. Lamoso:
We have reviewed the above referenced filing and have the
following comments. We have limited our review to only your
financial statements and related disclosures and will make no
further
review of your documents. As such, all persons who are
responsible
for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure are urged to be
certain that they have included all information required pursuant
to
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Please address the following
comments in the amended filing. If you disagree, we will consider
your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a future
revision is unnecessary. 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 that 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 numbers
