Contemporaneously herewith, the Company is filing Amendment No. 1 to the 10-K (the “10-K/A”) in response to the Staff’s comments raised in the Comment Letter. The Company intends to file Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement (the “S-1/A”) in the near future to address the issues raised by the Staff in the Comment Letter, as more particularly set forth below. For reference purposes, the Staff’s numbered comments have been reproduced in bold herein, with responses immediately following such comment. Where the Staff’s comments are applicable to both the 10-K and the Registration Statement, the Company has amended the 10-K in response to such comments, and intends to amend the Registration Statement consistent with such revisions to the 10-K, which, as discussed with the Staff, the Company intends to file in the near future. The responses provided herein are based upon information provided to Disclosure Law Group, a Professional Corporation, by the Company. General 1. You appear to be offering Units since you are registering the offer and sale of shares of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock which you state can only be purchased together. If you are offering Units, please revise your prospectus cover page, description of securities and otherwise throughout your registration statement to describe the Units. In addition, your fee table should cover the Units, common stock, warrants and the shares underlying the warrants. For additional guidance on the fee table, please refer to our Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations, Securities Act Rules, Questions 240.05 and 240.06, available on our website. Response Although the Company is offering shares of common stock together with common stock purchase warrants in the offering, the shares of common stock and warrants are immediately seperable and are not intended to remain together as a single unit once the securities are in the possession of the purchaser. The Company intends to add disclosure noting this distinction to the cover page of the S-1/A, and where applicable throughout the prospectus contained within the S-1/A. 2. Please clarify whether this is a best efforts offering with no minimum or a firm underwritten offering. To the extent that this is an underwritten offering, then please identify your lead underwriter(s) in your next amendment. We intend to defer further review of the filing until the registration statement is amended to include the name of the lead underwriter(s). Response This is a best efforts offering with no minimum, and the Company intends to revise the applicable disclosure in the S-1/A accordingly, in response to the Staff’s comment. -1- 3.

Please note that you may not increase the number of securities you are publicly offering without filing to register those additional securities, and revise accordingly. Response In response to Staff’s comment, the Company intends to remove all disclosure from the S-1/A indicating that it is conducting an at-the-market offering. Instead, the Company intends to add disclosure to the S-1/A indicating that the offering of shares will be conducted at a fixed price. The Company also intends to remove all discussion of increasing or decreasing the number of shares that it is offering. 4. If you intend to conduct this offering on a best-efforts basis, then please revise your use of proceeds and dilution sections to provide the information assuming the sale of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the offering.
