Re:

EESV Form 8-K Dated April 9, 2008 and filed with the SEC April 18, 2008


Dear Dr. Blaser:


Pursuant to Item 5.02(a)(3) of the Securities and Exchange Commission Form 8-K I hereby offer my complete denial of the company’s assertions that I violated the terms of my employment agreement dated March 9, 2007 as Director of Finance. Specifically, I deny that I attempted any extortion and any claim that I did is a slander and libel, which is actionable as a malicious and untrue charge.  This may well result in a claim against the company and its officials.


I further deny charges that I was insubordinate to officials of the company. One of my duties as Director of Finance was to take all necessary steps to bring the company into compliance with its regulatory obligations and to ensure that the company’s public shareholders received full disclosure about their investment. While I did urge the company’s officials to cooperate in this effort, I was never insubordinate in this effort. I believe my termination was directly related to my efforts in these areas.



Sincerely,




James J. Hines, IV
