1. We have reviewed your response to comment 4 in our letter dated
November 4, 2005. Please provide us with the following
information:
* Confirm whether the "Effect of changes in exchange rate" line
item
on your statement of cash flows represents the effect of exchange-
rate changes on cash balances held in foreign currencies as
required
by paragraph 25 of SFAS 52. In your response, please tell us
whether the amount was calculated consistent with the sample
illustration provided in paragraph 146 of SFAS 95 and whether your
cash balances are denominated in U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars,
or a
combination of both.
* Explain how you calculated the $2,478 foreign currency
translation
adjustment (CTA) and how you determined this amount should exactly
agree to the "Effect of changes in exchange rate" line item on
your
statement of cash flows. Based on the amounts included in your
balance sheet and statements of operations, the CTA balance
appears
understated.
* If material, disclose within your financial statements or
footnotes
the aggregate foreign currency transaction gain or loss included
in
determining net income/loss in each period for which a statement
of
operations is presented. If you did not recognize any transaction
gains and losses, please tell us the reasons for your
determination.
See paragraphs 15 and 30 of SFAS 52.
2. We have reviewed your response to comment 5 in our letter dated
November 4, 2005. Please confirm that you will disclose your
accounting policy for equity instruments issued to other than
employees in future filings. In your response, please also tell
us
the disincentives for nonperformance included in your third-party
agreements and how those disincentives allow for a performance
commitment, as defined in footnote 3 of EITF 96-18. Please note
that
forfeiture of the issuable shares as the sole remedy in the event
of
third-party non-performance is not considered a sufficiently large
disincentive for purposes of applying EITF 96-18.
Please respond to these comments within 10 business days or
tell us when you will provide us with a response. Please furnish
a
letter that keys your responses to our comments and provides any
requested information. Detailed letters greatly facilitate our
review. Please understand that we may have additional comments
after
reviewing your responses to our comments.
You may contact Andrew Blume (Staff Accountant) at (202)

statements and related matters. Please contact me at (202) 551-
