File No. 333-144973

Dear Mr. Nolan & Ms. Cooper:

The following is in response to our telephone conversation of April 27, 2011 and your request to provide background information on the transaction of issues in Comment No.1.

Below is the sequence of events regarding collateral loans with South Lake Capital LLC, The Elevation Fund LLC, The Kirby Enterprise Fund LLC, and The River Bend Fund LLC totaling $400,000.00.

Narrative:

The Company entered into the loan transactions on January 25, 2010 with South Lake Capital LLC et al to borrow $400,000. The loan was secured by 40 loans from the company’s loan portfolio which were not previously written off by the company and which the company still collected loan payments from the borrowers. (See attached loan file) The company defaulted on the repayment of the $400,000 notes on August 8, 2010. The lenders foreclosed on the collateral on November 23, 2010 and took possession of the 40 loans and still have possession of these loans. The notes were cancelled on this date also. All mortgage payments have been forwarded to the lenders.

Foreclosure on the collateral was the sole remedy by the lenders on the debt and upon the foreclosure and transfer of the collateral to the lenders, our accountants treated the debt as income, less the expense against the debt as referenced in our response to Comment #1 in our letter of March 25, 2011.

If you require further information on this issue, I would be happy to answer any questions.

Sincerely,
Michael A. Barron
Chairman/CEO
