Dear Mr. Saltzman:
We have limited our review of your registration statement to those
issues we have
addressed in our comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide
us with
information so we may better understand your disclosure.
Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement
and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts
and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why
in your
response.
After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the
information you
provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments.
Registration Statement on Form S-3, file no. 333-233419
Selling Securityholders, page 24
1. Please ensure that your selling shareholder table accurately reflects
the shares you are
registering for resale. For example, we note that Alpha Capital Anstalt
beneficially owns
202,800 common shares prior to the offering, intends to sell 8,112
common shares
pursuant to the prospectus, yet will beneficially own no shares upon
completion of the
offering. Likewise, Brio Capital Master Fund holds 142,808 shares prior
to the offering,
will sell a maximum of 45,000 shares pursuant to the prospectus, and
will beneficially
own 142,800 shares upon completion. Please revise or advise. Also
clarify how you
arrived at the number and percentage of shares beneficially held by each
selling
shareholder after the offering.

General
2. We note that you are registering the sale of approximately 35 million
shares of common
stock. Given the size relative to the number of shares outstanding held
by non-affiliates,
the nature of the offering and some of the selling security holders, it
appears that the
transaction may be an indirect primary offering. Please provide us with
an analysis as to
why the offering by the selling stockholders should properly be regarded
as a secondary
offering and, if applicable, why you would be eligible to register the
transaction as an
indirect primary offering on Form S-3. In your analysis, tell us why you
are registering
200% of the shares issuable upon conversion and exercise of each of the
securities
referenced. Refer to Securities Act Rules Compliance and Disclosure
Interpretation
612.09.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for
the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action
or absence of
action by the staff.
Refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration. Please
allow adequate
time for us to review any amendment prior to the requested effective date of
the registration
statement.
Please contact Paul Fischer, Staff Attorney, at 202-551-3415, or Kathleen
Krebs, Special
Counsel, at 202-551-3350, with any questions.
