of December 31, 2008, under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial
Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our
Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures as defined by Rule 13a-15(c) of the Exchange
Act are effective at a reasonable assurance level in timely alerting management,
including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of material
information about us required to be included in periodic SEC filings. However,
in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that
any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can
provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives
and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the
cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.</font></div>

      note that you have recorded a valuation allowance of approximately
      $141,000 on a net deferred tax asset of $6.7 million as of December 31,
      2008. Please explain why the valuation allowance is not larger in light of
      net losses recorded in the past two years as well as the impairments which
      were taken on goodwill and intangible assets during 2008 which you
      attributed to discounted cash flow analysis &#8220;reflecting unique business
      characteristics and future earnings
potential&#8221;.</font></div>

GAAP basis net losses for the previous two fiscal years were driven primarily by
nondeductible differences.&#160;&#160;For example the loss in 2007 was primarily
related to the change in fair value of our warrant obligation, and the loss in
2008 was the result of an impairment charge on goodwill, the majority of which
was not deductible for tax purposes.&#160;&#160;As such, we had operating income
prior to these adjustments for both 2007 and 2008, and likewise had taxable
income in each year.&#160;&#160;As our operations continue to be profitable, we
expect to have taxable income in 2009 and in future periods that will enable us
