Please understand that the purpose of our review process is to assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing. We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome any questions you may have about our comments or any other aspect of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter. Schedule 14A General 1.

For instance, you note that the company, through due diligence, will determine whether the company could have obtained a greater amount of money for properties that were sold to its chief executive officer, but you do not specify what the due diligence process will entail nor who will conduct that due diligence.
