Re: Withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 1
to Registration Statement on Form S-1 and
Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to
Registration Statement on Form S-2
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) and Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to
Registration Statement on Form S-2 (Registration No. 333-63563) (together, the
"Registration Statements"), each filed on May 14, 1999. The Post-Effective
Amendments are being withdrawn due to the need to update the financial
statements contained in the Registration Statements. For your information, we
are transmitting today for filing Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to each
Registration Statement that contain 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
