Dear Mr. Parker:

On May 19, 2008, Staff notified the Company that it did not comply with the audit committee requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market set forth in Marketplace Rule 4350(d)(2) (the "Rule"). Based on the information regarding the appointment of Steve Paulson to the Company's audit committee, as detailed in your email dated May 22, 2008, Staff has determined that the Company complies with the Rule and this matter is now closed.

If you have any questions, please contact Nikolai Utochkin, Lead Analyst, at (301) 978-8029.

Sincerely,

Randy Genau
