Re: Form SB-2, Registration No. 333-17767
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, Niche Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company") hereby applies for
the withdrawal of its registration statement filed on Form SB-2, Registration
No. 333-17767 (the "Registration Statement").
The Company makes this application for withdrawal because the
Company's proposed underwriter has advised the Company that it will be unable to
proceed with the underwriting covered by the Registration Statement. The
Registration Statement was not declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and, accordingly, no securities covered by such Registration
Statement have been sold by, or on behalf of, the Company or any other person.
Very truly yours,
NICHE PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
