Where indicated, we think you should revise your document in response to these 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 comment or on any other aspect of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter. 1. Please revise the Form to state whether the former accountant resigned, declined to stand for re-election or was dismissed, and the specific date, as required by Item 304(a)(1)(i) of Regulation S-B. It is not sufficient to state that the accountant "completed his duties and responsibilities," as that wording is unclear to a reader. Engagement of new accountant 2. We note that you engaged a new accountant, Livingston, Wachtell, & Company, LLP. Please revise to disclose whether during the two previous years and any subsequent period, you consulted the newly engaged accountant regarding any of the items detailed in Regulation S-B Item 304 (a)(2). Please ensure that you disclose any consultations up through the date of engagement. If no consultation was received, then please state so. 3. We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure in the filings reviewed by the staff to be certain that they have provided all information investors require. Since the company and its management are in possession of all facts relating to a company`s disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they have made. In connection with responding to our comments, please provide, in writing, a statement from the company acknowledging 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 the filings reviewed by the staff do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; 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. In addition, please be advised that the Division of Enforcement has access to all information you provide to the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance in our review of your filing or in response to our comments on your filing.
