We note your response to comment 11. Since investors generally do not receive copies of correspondences from SEC staff reviews, please revise the proposed disclosure so it does not reference the comment numbers. Upon deleting the comment numbers, it will be necessary to expand the disclosure so that it continues adequately to cover the information previously conveyed by the cross references to comment numbers.

You state in your response to comment 5 that you amortize the deferred amounts over the estimated life of the underlying technologies licensed.

We have read your response to comment 7. We note that you value the services based on the value of the Black Scholes method for the warrants issued and that value is $0.
