Dear Mr. O’Brien:
In response to your letter of June 1, 2007 and after additional conversations with your office, we continue to respectfully disagree with the staff’s position regarding the restatement of the Company’s year ended December 29, 2006 and quarter ended March 30, 2007 Forms 10-KSB and 10-QSB, respectively, to present the sale of all its operating businesses as discontinued operations.
After receipt of your June 1, 2007 letter, our independent registered public accountants consulted with Mr. Paul Beswick (203-956-3453) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) staff regarding this matter. As noted in our response letter on May 21, 2007, our independent registered public accountants consulted with the FASB on this matter several years ago. After consideration of the Company’s transaction, Mr. Beswick reiterated the FASB position that, in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Accounting Standards No. 144, discontinued operations presentation was not appropriate with respect to the Company’s disposal of all of its operating businesses.
If the Commission Staff, after consideration of the above, is still in disagreement with the Company’s position, the Company would like to further appeal this matter.

Respectfully, |
