To Mr. Jonathan G. Katz et al:
     
We oppose the proposed amendments to Rule 15c2-11. Our company is traded on 
the OTC BB and we fear for the future outlook of legitimate trading if these 
well-meaning but onerous changes are instituted.
Thank you for your attention to our concerns. 
Barbara Corbett, Investor Relations Mgr. 
Exten Industries.
