Re: Withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 1
to Registration Statement on Form S-1
Registration No. 333-65039
Pursuant to Rule 477 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we request
withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form
S-1 (Registration No. 333-65039) (the "Registration Statement"), filed on May
14, 1999. The Post-Effective Amendment is being withdrawn due to the need to
update the financial statements contained in the Registration Statement. For
your information, on June 4, 1999 we filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to
the Registration Statement that contains updated financial statements.
Please feel free to call me at the number above if you have any questions
covering this request.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Kenneth H. Koch
