Please respond to this letter by amending your filing, by providing the requested information, or by advising us of when you will provide the requested response. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your resp onse.

After reviewing any amendment to your filing and the information you provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments.

General 1. Exhibit 99.1 to t he company ’s current report on Form 8 -K filed on January 8, 2015 consists of a press release announcing the commencement of the Offer , yet the press release does not appear to have been f iled unde r cover of Schedule TO . Please refer to Rule 13e -4 (c) and file all written communications relating to the offer under cover of Schedule TO .

Mr. Gregory Sichenzia Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP January 16, 2015 Page 2 statement or statements …” This assertion is inconsistent with the company ’s obligation to amend and promptly disseminate revised information in the event that existing disclosure materially changes.

Warrant Exc hange Agreements, page 18

4. We note th at certain warrantholders entered into warrant exchange agreements representing 1,244,666 warrants on December 31, 2014. Please s upplementally advise us of the negotiations that preceded the execution of the warrant exchange agreements . For example, advise us of the total number of persons contacted (i.e., including persons who chose not to execute the warrant exchange agreement at that time ) and what percentage of the total number of warrantholders such person s represented. Also, please confirm whether all persons who executed the agreement are accred ited investors. We may have further comment.

Conditions of the Exchange Offer, page 22

5. A tender offer may be conditioned on a variety of events and circumstances, provided that they a re not within the direct or indirect control of the bidder, and are drafted with sufficient specificity to allow for objective verification of whether or not the conditions have been satisfied. In this regard, we refer to disclosure in the fourth bullet point under (c), which references any “significant ” decrease in the market price of the company ’s common stock . Please further clarify how the bidder will assess the significance of the decline by reference to a quantit ative reference point, such as a certain percentage decline from the prior market price as quoted on the OTCQX .

6. Please refer to the final paragraph under this heading. When an offer condition is triggered by events that occur during the offer period and before the expiration of the offer, the company should inform security holders how it intends to proceed promptly, rather than wait until the end of the offer period, unless the condition is one where satisfaction of the condition may be determined only upon expiration. Please confirm the company’s understanding in your response le tter.

7. Please refer to the comment above. Note that when a condition is triggered and you decide to proceed with the offer anyway, we believe that this constitutes a waiver of the triggered condition(s). Depending on the materiality of the waived condition and the

Mr. Gregory Sichenzia Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP January 16, 2015 Page 3 number of days remaining in the offer, you may be required to extend the offer and re - circulate new disclosure to security holders. You may not, as this language seems to imply, fail to assert a triggered offer condition and thus effectively waive it without officially doing so. Please confirm the company’s understanding in your response letter.

Available Information /Incorporatio n by Reference , page 26

8. You disclose that periodic reports subsequently filed pursuant to the Exchange Act will be incorporate d by reference to the Offer to Exchange through the expiration of the offer . Schedule TO does not allow you to forward incorporate disclosure from subsequently filed documents. We refer you to General Instruction F of Schedule TO and your obligation under Exchange Act Rules 13e-4(d)(2) and 13e -4(e)(3) to amend the Schedule to reflect a material change in the information previously disclosed . Please revise your disclosure and confirm your understanding.
