You quantify total consideration from existing shareholders as $12,223,208 which appears to be inconsistent with the amounts for preferred and common stock in your condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2007. Please revise the introductory paragraph to the table on page 28 to clarify how the total consideration from existing shareholders is calculated.

Response:

The Company has complied with this comment by amending the table on page 28 to reflect the actual aggregate receipts by the Company for shares sold to existing shareholders (as reported on the Company’s March 31, 2007 balance sheet).

Exhibit 23.3 — Consent of Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc.

Since you have revised the disclosure related to your valuation analysis at December 2006 that Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc. assisted management in its preparing the valuation analysis for board review, please file a currently dated consent from Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc.

Response: The Company has complied with this comment by filing with Amendment No. 5 a currently dated consent of Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc.
