Dear Ms. Livingston:
Please be advised that the delaying amendment language was inadvertently
omitted from the facing page of the above-referenced Company's Registration
Statement on Form SB-2. Accordingly, the following language is hereby added to
the bottom of the facing page of the Registration Statement:
"The registrant hereby amends this registration statement on such date or
dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the registrant shall
file a further amendment which specifically states that this registration
statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of
the Securities Act of 1933 or until the registration statement shall become
effective on such date as the Commission, acting pursuant to said Section 8(a),
may determine."
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
/s/Gary N. Pelehaty
