1. In preparing your responses to these comments, please consider
that evaluations of materiality should not be based solely on

qualitative factors that a reasonable investor would deem
important
in making an investment decision, including the potential impact
of
corporate activities upon a company`s reputation and share value.
In
this regard, we note that legislation requiring divestment from,
or
reporting of interests in, companies that do business with US-
designated state sponsors of terrorism has been adopted by Arizona

Board or other national exchange and discuss how this affects the

Sampling and the US Tour of Havana Night Club, including any
direct
and indirect contacts with Cuban nationals or entities associated
with both entertainment groups. Your response should clearly
describe the extent of your contacts with Cuba resulting from
these
relationships. For example, advise us whether any of your
representatives travel on business to Cuba or transact business
with
banks or other entities in Cuba. Please address the materiality
of
any such contacts or arrangements, and your view as to whether
those
operations or arrangements constitute a material investment risk
for
your security holders, in light of the fact that Cuba is subject
to
economic sanctions administered by the Treasury Department`s
Office
of Foreign Assets Control and identified as a state sponsor of
terrorism by the U.S. State Department. Please note that by
including more relevant details in your response you facilitate
the
