Subject: File No. JOBS Act Title I
From: Steve Rabin, CPA

July 11, 2012

Here are my suggestions to reduce costs and market frictions:
- Although audited or reviewed financial statements are required when raising over $100K, please consider allowing these financial statements to be tax basis (OCBOA, not GAAP basis).
- If or when tax returns must be disclosed, please allow the reasonable redaction of TINs and other confidential matters.
- Please do not require PCAOB registration by an auditor/reviewer of crowdfunding financial statements.

Please find ways to encourage centralization of investor relations and equity transaction functions (eg by a centralized investor relations or brokerage firm, or even at the portal). I believe that shareholder correspondence, tracking equity, accounting for transactions and other special situations (shareholder divorce, bankruptcy, probate, escheat etc.) would be a significant ongoing burden and a compliance risk for a small business having 1000+ shareholders and multiple classes of equity/debt.

I want to briefly echo comments by others that crowdfunding should not preclude other approaches (funding by accredited investors or by foreigners).

Thanks for your consideration of my comments
