the offering is a firm commitment underwritten offering Riverview submits that
disclosure of the absence of a fairness opinion is not material to an investor.
Further, in light of the significant beneficial ownership position held by
officers and directors, 1.4 million shares or 12.76% as disclosed in the proxy
statement incorporated by reference into the prospectus, the officers and
directors have already demonstrated a significant commitment to Riverview.
Whether or not they purchase shares in this offering is a personal decision, and
no positive or negative inference should be reached from such purchases.
Accordingly, Riverview respectfully requests the staff waive this
comment.</font></div>
