Dear Mr. Adkins:
We have reviewed the above filings and have the following
accounting comments. Where indicated, we think you should revise
your documents 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 supplemental information so we may better understand your
disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may or may not
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 filing.
We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome
any questions you may have about our comments or on any other
aspect
of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers
listed

10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 2004
General
1. In future filings, it would be helpful if your document would
be
paginated and include a table of contents.
Management`s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Comparison of the Years Ended September 30, 2004 and 2003
2. We note your disclosure that explains certain comparative
administrative cost changes. Your disclosure indicates auditing
fees
decreased in 2004. Please reconcile this disclosure for us to the
information you have included under Item 14.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
3. We note your use of the equity method of accounting for your
investment in your 99% owned unconsolidated subsidiary. We also
note
your expectation that FIN 46(R) is not expected to have a material
impact on your financial statements. Please clarify to us why you
believe this to be your expectation. In your response,
specifically
address the criteria outlined in paragraph 5 of FIN 46(R).
4. In addition, support your use of the equity method of
accounting
for this subsidiary on a supplemental basis, as it is our
understanding that 100% of the voting interest is held by Brant,
as
defined. In your response, please address how maintaining the
checkbook, accumulating tax data and holding certain management
positions allows you to exercise significant influence. Please
refer
to paragraph 17 of APB 18 for further guidance.
Controls and procedures
5. We note your conclusion regarding your evaluation of disclosure
controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days of the filing
date of the annual report. Please note paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-
15,
as referenced in Item 307 of Regulation S-B, requires such
evaluation
be performed as of the end of each fiscal quarter. In this
regard,
revise your disclosure to comply with the requirements of
Regulation

"internal controls" and no factors that could "significantly
affect"
these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.

change
in the registrant`s "internal control over financial reporting"
identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph

the
fourth fiscal quarter that has "materially affected, or is
reasonably
likely to materially affect, the small business issuer`s internal
control over financial reporting." See also Regulation S-B,
paragraph 4(d) of Exhibit 31. Revise your disclosure accordingly.
Note D - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
