non-compliance. While the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance will not undertake any further examination of the Company&#146;s non-compliance with this rule at this time, please note that the staff reserves the right to make further inquiry
into this matter and make any recommendations it deems appropriate. </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><U>Company Response: </U></B></P>
