Prospectus Summary, page 5
| | 1. | We note your response to comment four in our letter dated January 5, 2011, however itdoes not appear that you responded fully to that comment. Please briefly explain how the fact that your shares currently are not traded on any market or exchange impacts share liquidity. |
We have noted this comment and have revised the disclosure on page 5 as follows:
Common stock being registered in this registration statement may be sold by the selling security holder at a fixed price of $0.001 per share or in transactions that are not in the public market at a fixed price of $0.001 per share. The offering will not be extended beyond the offering period of 29 days from the date of effectiveness. The company is not listed on any exchange, thus no market for our shares exists and there is no assurance that one will develop. To date, there is no public market for our common stock and no effort has been made to obtain listing on the OTC Bulletin Board or any national stock exchange or association. The company has not approached any broker/dealers with regard to assisting the company to apply for such listing. There can be no assurance that any attempt to obtain listing on a stock exchange or other trading medium will be successful, or if successful, that a market will develop for the common stock.
