Dear Mr. Walpuck:
We have limited our review of your registration statement to those issues we have
addressed in our comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with
information so we may better understand your disclosure.
Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the
requested information. Where you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and
circums tances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your
response.
After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you

General
1. Schedule A, paragraph 16 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Item 501(b)(3) of Regulation
S-K require that you disclose the price at which the securities will be sold. Given the

the selling shareholders will sell the shares covered by the prospectus. We will not
object if you state that the securities will be sold at the disclosed fixed price until your
shares are listed on a recognized inter-dealer quotation system (e.g., the OTC Bulletin
Board) and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. Please
make corresponding changes throughout the prospectus.
