       General

   1.                                                   We note that you have
registered $1 million worth of common stock. Please confirm that
                                                        this is a bona fide
estimate of the maximum offering price of your offering. Refer to Rule
                                                        457(a) of the

   2.                                                   We note your response
to comment 5 and revised disclosure on page 127. However, it is
                                                        unclear why footnote 17
continues to state that Banc Fund IX LP has sole voting and
                                                        investment power over
207,649 shares and Banc Fund VIII LP has sole voting and
                                                        investment power over
35,532 shares. Please revise or advise.
