Gentlemen:
In connection with the proposed public offer and sale of securities under the above referenced Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (the "Filing"), the Company hereby requests pursuant to Rule 461 under the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that its Registration Statement become effective at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time, on Monday, July 10, 2006, or as soon thereafter as practicable.
With respect to this request the Company acknowledges that:

- Should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the Filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the Filing;
- •
- The action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the Filing effective does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Filing; and
- •
- The Company may not assert this action as defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
Very truly yours, | |||
