Dear Mr. Phippen:
We represent Comprehensive Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (“CMHS”). CMHS has reviewed your May 5, 2005 letter and has the following responses:
Form 10-K Amendment No. 3 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2004
1.
Please take into consideration all of the following comments on your Form 10-K, as applicable, when you revise your Form 10QSB/A=s.
ANSWER: We will take into consideration all of the comments contained in CMHS’ Form 10-K when it revises all applicable Form 10-QSB/A’s.

You filed your amendment on a Form 10-K however it appears in certain cases you have followed the disclosure requirements of Regulation S-B. For example, you only present the fiscal 2004 year end balance sheet in your audited financial statements. A reporting company may enter the S-B system only at the beginning of a fiscal year, and must determine at the time of its filing in a fiscal year (first quarterly report, Form 8-K, or registration statement) whether it will enter the S-B reporting system. A reporting issuer cannot enter the S-B system during a fiscal year if it has already filed Exchange Act reports for periods included in that fiscal year under Regulation S-X. Please amend your filing to comply with the disclosure requirements on Form 10-K. After review of the amended Form 10-K we may have further comments.
ANSWER: Amendment No. 4 to Form 10-K has been filed and has been amended to comply with the disclosure requirements of Form 10-K.

In a reverse acquisition shareholders’ equity should be determined and presented on the consolidated balance sheet as if the consolidated financial statements are a continuation of the accounting acquiror/legal acquiree (Accutone, Inc.). The retained deficit and other surplus accounts in the consolidated financial statements immediately after the reverse acquisition would be the same as the accounts of the accounting acquiror / legal acquiree at that date. The retained deficit and other surplus accounts of the legal acquiror (Nantucket Industries, Inc.) at the date of the legal combination would be eliminated in consolidation. We assume your accumulated deficit of $13,153,009 as of February 28, 2002 principally relates to operations of Nantucket Industries Inc. prior to the January 25, 2002 reverse acquisition. If so, please revise your filing to eliminate the retained deficit and additional

ANSWER: In Amendment No. 4 to Form 10-K, revisions have been made to eliminate the accumulated deficit and additional paid in capital relating to the operations of Nantucket Industries Inc. at February 28, 2002.
