2. We have indicated the individual who has voting and dispositive power regarding the shares to be offered by Sigma Capital Advisors, LLC.
3. We have deleted any reference to the creation of short positions in the common stock in connection with the offering. Short sales of the common stock will not be effectuated by any of the selling stockholders.
4. In reliance upon Rule 430C, we have provided only the undertaking contained in Item 512(g)(2) of Regulation S-K.
5. In a separate filing, the Company amended its Form 10-K report for the year ended June 30, 2006 to provide the requested changes to the material regarding controls and procedures.
Assuming no further comments are deemed necessary by the Commission’s staff, the Company will request that effectiveness of the Registration Statement be accelerated. At that time, Lawrence Rychlak, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, will make an acceleration request and provide the acknowledgments set forth in the Commission’s comment letter.
Please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned if you have any questions or desire any additional information.
Sincerely, |
