In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with
supplemental information so we may better understand your

After reviewing this information, we may or may not raise
additional
comments.
Please understand that the purpose of our review process is
to

the end of this letter.
General

state affirmatively that you do not believe you are a blank check
company. Otherwise, disclose under an appropriately titled
heading
the fact that you are a blank check company and the consequences
of
being a blank check company. It appears that in light of your
relatively limited operations, your primary purpose may be to
effect
a business combination with another company, in which case your
business plan would appear to possess a degree of uncertainty
commonly associated with a "blank check" company. Please state in
your document whether your primary business purpose enter into a
business combination with another entity.

concerning new products? Please confirm and update your
disclosures
as necessary.

5. We note your statement that you intend to market a product that
uses a "propriety process of Lymphazome encapsulates." Do you
