Dear Mr. Barham:
We have reviewed your response letter dated July 6, 2005 and
have the following additional comments. As previously stated,
these
comments require amendment to the referenced filings previously
filed
with the Commission. Where indicated, we think you should revise
your document in response to these comments. If you disagree, we
will consider your explanation as to why our comment is
inapplicable
or a revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary
in
your explanation. In some of our comments, we ask you to provide
us
with information so we may better understand your disclosure.
After
reviewing this information, we may raise additional comments.
Please understand that the purpose of our review process is
to
assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure
requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your
filings.
We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome
any questions you may have about our comments or on any other

at the end of this letter.
Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended September 30, 2004
Item 8A. - Controls and Procedures, pages 22-23
1. Please revise to state whether disclosure controls were
effective
as of the end of the period covered by the report as opposed to
concluding on internal controls over financial reporting. If your
conclusion is that disclosure controls were effective, disclose in
reasonable detail the basis for officers` conclusions that the
company`s disclosure controls were effective despite certain
deficiencies in internal controls.
Form 10-QSB for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and June 30,
2005
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, page 7
2. Related to your consolidated statements of cash flows, please
answer the following:
* How are you reflecting the operating cash flows of HHE, since we
note that you are starting your reconciliation with loss from
continuing operations?
* Why have you reflected the settlement of net liabilities of
discontinued operations as an investing activity?
* Where is the gain on settlement of accrued liabilities reflected
on
the statement of operations and how do the items related to these
accrued liabilities reconcile to the balance sheet?
Discontinued Operations, page 12
3. Please provide us with your calculation of the gain on sale of
HHE. Also, explain your basis for deferring the gain related to
the
restricted shares received as consideration. Cite any relevant
accounting literature in your response. Finally, tell us if you
have
recorded an asset related to the shares or any liability related
to
the deferred gain.
As appropriate, please amend your filing and respond to
these
comments within 10 business days or tell us when you will provide
us
with a response. Please file your response on EDGAR. You may
wish
to provide us with marked copies of the amendment to expedite our
review. Please furnish a cover letter with your amendment that
keys
your responses to our comments and provides any requested
information. Detailed cover letters greatly facilitate our
review.
Please understand that we may have additional comments after
reviewing your amendment and responses to our comments.
We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and
adequacy of the disclosure in the filings to be certain that the
filings include all information required under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and that they have provided all information
investors require for an informed investment decision. Since the
company and its management are in possession of all facts relating
to
a company`s disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy and
adequacy of the disclosures they have made.
