7. | Please describe the registrants policies for review, approval or ratification of any transaction required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Your existing disclosure would appear to only address the review of any such transaction. See Item 404(b) of Regulation S-K. |
RESPONSE TO COMMENT 7
The Company supplementally advises the Staff that it is the Companys policy and practice for the Board of Directors to review, approve or ratify any transaction potentially reported under Item 404(a)

of Regulation S-K. This review, approval or ratification is not specifically addressed in a written policy. However, the Company has enacted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors, Officers and Employees as well as Corporate Governance Principles, both of which contain general provisions relating to possible conflicts of interest of employees, directors and officers of the Company. In future filings, the Company will include additional disclosure relating to the nature of the Companys policy governing the review, approval and ratification of related person transactions.

We hope that the foregoing has been responsive to the Staffs comments. If you should have any questions about this letter or require further information, please call the undersigned at 734-930-3678.
