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) 551- 3254 if you have questions regarding the comments on the financial statements and related matters. Please contact me at (202) 551- with any other questions.

Sincerely,
