The Staffs comments are repeated below in bold and are followed by the Companys responses.

In addition, revise your Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments & Estimates to disclose, in sufficient detail, the reasons why you believe it is not probable that the convertible preferred shares will become redeemable, and thus, why you do not recognize any accretion on the instruments.
