respect to inadequate reconciliations of our general ledger cash balances to the

resources in the accounting department at the end of 2008 with the specific goal
of reconciling cash to zero on a monthly basis. During the second and third
quarter of 2009, the Company made significant progress in remediating the cash
ledger balance to bank account reconciliation by allocating full-time accounting
resources to review, reconcile and improve the cash reconciliation process. As
of the time of this letter, the Company believes that there are still some
deficiencies but that substantial progress has been made.&#160;&#160;The Company
intends to have this weakness fully remediated by year-end 2009, at which time
the Company believes its independent audit firm will be able to attest to our

management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal

is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability

external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules&#160;13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act and includes those policies and
procedures that: (a)&#160;pertain to the maintenance of records that, in
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of our assets; (b)&#160;provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that
our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of our management and directors; and (c)&#160;provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition,
use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our
financial statements. All internal controls, no matter how well designed, have
inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective
can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement
