Dear Ms. Cowgill:
We have reviewed your response letter and have the following
comment. We have limited our review of your filings to those
issues
we have addressed in our comments. 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 may
ask
you to provide us with information so we may better understand

Form 10-KSB for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004
Consolidated Financial Statements
Consolidated Balance Sheets
1. We have given consideration to your response to prior comment
five
and are unable to agree with your interpretation of paragraphs 34
and
35 of FASB Statement of Concepts 6. You state that you "consider
the
contra-cash account to be a "valuation" account." However, we
continue to believe that cash held in your functional currency is
not
subject to changes in fair value and a valuation account is not
applicable. Please provide the journal entries you booked to
create
the contra-asset and tell us when these entries were recorded.
Closing Comments
Please respond to this comment within 10 business days or
tell
us when you will provide us with a response. Please furnish a
letter
that keys your response to our comment and provides any requested
information. Detailed letters greatly facilitate our review.
Please
understand that we may have additional comments after reviewing
your
response to our comment.
You may contact Jennifer Goeken at (202) 551-3721 if you

matters. Please contact me at (202) 551-3683 with any other

Jill S. Davis
