Dear Mr. Decker:

We note your response to comment three in our letter dated February 11, 2011.  In particular, we note your statement that there are at least six suppliers from which natural CDs are available, and that percentage of supplies that you purchase from any given supplier varies each year.  In order to provide context for such statement, please supplementally advise us as to the percentage of your supplies that you purchased from any of the six suppliers during the last two completed fiscal years.  Further, we note your statement that very few companies supply chemically modified CDs, and the production schedule is unpredictable.  To the extent material, please disclose in future filings the percentage of your business that is dependent on chemically modified CDs, and whether the potentially limited supply has had, or could have, a material adverse effect on your business.
 
 
 
 

 
 
Response:
 
We supplementally advise you that the percentages of supplies purchased from all of our suppliers, based upon the cost of supplies purchased from a particular supplier compared to the total cost of supplies purchased, for the last two completed fiscal years are as follows:
