5.Please delete or revise the second sentence under the caption" Risk Factors"   as it is unclear what the sentence refers to.

 

Response:  The Company has deleted the second sentence as you suggested. Page 7.

 

6.We note that you deleted the risk factor entitled " if we do not obtained additional financing, including the financing sought in this offering, our        business will fail." As it appears that you will be unable to commence or maintain operations without at lease receiving the financing from this offering, and given your statement on page 7 that your " business plans and           prospects for the current fiscal year could be adversely affected" if you raise less than the maximum proceeds in this offering and your statement on page 26 that if you" are unable to generate revenues .... or ... make a reasonable profit after 12 months, [you] may have to cease operations" please supplementary explain why you determined that such risk is immaterial to your business.

Response: The Company has revised this risk factor. Page 9.

Alternatively, remove the language regarding successors.

(8) Changes in prices of diamonds .... page 9.
