[File No. 500-1]


In the Matter of Aspire Japan, Inc., Market & Research Corp. (n/
k/a MRC Group Ltd.), McIntosh Bancshares Inc., Pure Minerals, Inc. (f/
k/a Pure Pharmaceuticals Corp.) and Salamon Group, Inc.; Order of 
Suspension of Trading

June 26, 2015.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is 
a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of 
Aspire Japan, Inc. (CIK No. 1317838) (``ASJP'' \1\), a void Delaware 
corporation with its principal place of business in Los Angeles, 
California, with stock quoted on OTC Link (previously, ``Pink Sheets'') 
operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. (``OTC Link'') because it has not 
filed any periodic reports since the period ended April 30, 2011. On 
June 26, 2013, the Division of Corporation Finance (``Corporation 
Finance'') sent a delinquency letter to ASJP requesting compliance with 
its periodic reporting obligations at the address shown in its then-
most recent filing with the Commission, but ASJP did not receive the 
delinquency letter due to its failure to maintain a valid address on 
file with the Commission as required by Commission rules (Rule 301 of 
Regulation S-T, 17 CFR 232.301 and Section 5.4 of the EDGAR Filer 
Manual).
