Refer to your disclosure: “It is our understanding that P&Z’s previously issued audit opinions before September 30, 2013, including the audit opinion on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, are still valid.” Since Patrizio & Zhao LLC is barred from practicing before the SEC, amend your filing to disclose that financial statements for a period previously audited by Patrizio & Zhao LLC and required to be included in a filing made by the Company after September 30, 2013 will have to be re- audited by a firm that is registered with the PCAOB.

RESPONSE:
 
Pursuant to your comment, the Company is hereby filing an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Form 8-K filed on October 8, 2013 and including the following disclosures: “Since Patrizio & Zhao LLC (“P&Z”) is barred from practicing before the SEC, financial statements for a period previously audited by P&Z and required to be included in a filing made by the Company after September 30, 2013 will have to be re-audited by a firm that is registered with the PCAOB.”
