Description of Securities, page 24
13. We note your response to comment 42 and your statement that
"our
shares ... may be issued only as fully paid and non-assessable
shares." Your prior statement that all of the current outstanding
common shares are "fully paid and non-assessable" is a legal
conclusion that the company is not qualified to make. If you want
to
make the statement that the common shares are "fully paid and non-
assessable" then you must attribute this statement to counsel and
file counsel`s consent to be named in this section. Additionally,
if
you want to retain the statement that your shares may be issued
only
as fully paid and non-assessable shares then attribute the
statement
to counsel and file counsel`s consent to be named in the section.
Please revise as appropriate.

our affiliates hold 3,055,600 shares that may be sold pursuant to
Rule 144 after two years from the date of purchase."

affiliated persons.
