It appears that you do not intend to register a class of securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.  Please include a risk factor that informs potential investors that you will be not be a fully reporting company and will only comply with the limited reporting requirements imposed on Section 15(d) registrants.  Briefly explain how those reports vary from the reporting obligations imposed on Section 12 registrants.

5.  
It appears reasonably likely that you will have less than three hundred record shareholders at your next fiscal year end and at the conclusion of the offering.  As such, it appears that there is a significant risk that your reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act will be suspended under that statutory section and that you will not be required to provide periodic reports following the Form 10-K that will be required for the fiscal year in which your registration statement becomes effective.  Please include a risk factor that explains the associated risks to potential investors.

6.  
We note that you have not assessed the effectiveness of your internal controls over financial reporting.  In addition, you will not be required to provide management’s report on the effectiveness of your internal controls over financial reporting until your second annual report, and you will be exempt from the auditor attestation requirements concerning any such report so long as you are a smaller reporting company.  Please add a risk factor or risk factors addressing the associated risks.
