Risk
Factors, page 5
1.
Your
risk factor on page 14 appears to state a generic risk regarding
your
system of internal control over financial reporting, including statements
indicating that management “may” conclude that your system is ineffective.
But your Form 10-KSB for the period ended December 31, 2007 indicates
that
management has concluded that your system of internal control over
financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2007. Please
revise
this risk factor to disclose management’s conclusion that your internal
control over financial reporting was ineffective and provide a brief
description of the material deficiencies, as disclosed beginning
on page
37 of your annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended
December
31, 2007.
Response:
We will
revise this risk factor to identify weaknesses in our internal control
procedures. Please note however, as disclosed in our Form 10-KSB, despite the
lack of the complete implementation of recommended improvements to the
identified weaknesses in our internal control procedures, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2007,
such disclosure controls and procedures were
effective
to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file
or
submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
Form
10-KSB for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2007
Exhibits
2.

Financial Officer certifications under Item 601(b)(31) of Regulations
S-B.
Please revise these certifications to include the introductory language
of
paragraph 4 and the language of paragraph 4(b) of Item 601(b)(31)
of
Regulation S-K.
Response:
We are
concurrently filing a Form 10KSB/A and have revised the certifications
accordingly.

undersigned or Ruba Qashu at (310) 208-1182 or via fax at (310)
