Dear Mr. Thaw,
We have reviewed your filings and have the following
comments.
We have limited our review to only your financial statements and
related disclosures and will make no further review of your
documents. 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
filings.
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
at the end of this letter.
From 10-K / A for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004
Management`s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations - Page 8
Results of Operations - Page 9
1. In future filings please revise your discussion of net sales to
disclose the extent to which your sales decreases are attributable
to
decreases in prices or to decreases in amount of goods you sold.
You indicated that your customers are moving to an offshore market
but you do not tell investors how your prices and volumes were
affected by this move. Refer to Item 303(A)(3)(iii) of Regulation
S-
K.
2. In general, MD&A should identify and quantify factors
responsible
for changes in financial statement items and explain why those
changes occurred. For example, under operating expenses you tell
investors that salary and employee expenses increased but you do
not
cite the underlying reasons for your increased expenses. This
general guidance should be applied throughout MD&A for all future
annual and interim periods.
3. Please revise your MD&A in future filings to disclose:
* A discussion of critical accounting estimates. Refer to FRR 72.
* Your known contractual obligations as of your balance sheet
date.
Refer to Item 303(A)(5) of Regulation S-K.
Financial Statements - Page F-1

4. Supplementally and in future filings please disclose the
portion
of trading gains and losses for the period that relate to trading
securities still held at your balance sheet date. Refer to
paragraph
21(e) of SFAS 115.
Statements of Cash Flows - Page F-6
5. Please tell us why you have recorded your purchases of
investments
as investing activities. We note that you have classified your
investments as trading securities and pursuant to the guidance set
forth in paragraph 18 of SFAS 115, cash flows from trading
securities
should be classified as cash flows from operating activities.
Note (1) - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Page F-8
(D) - Inventories - Page F-8
6. Please tell us and revise future filings to disclose your
accounting policies for valuing inventory, including a discussion
of
how you determine any reserves.
Note (7) - Lease Commitments - Page F-17
7. We note that you have leased facilities from a related party.
Please revise future filings to disclose any amounts due to
related
parties as of the balance sheet date presented. It also appears
that
this is a 10 year agreement yet you only have disclosed through
2006
on your future lease payment disclosure.
Note (11) - Non-operating Revenue (Expense) - Page F-18
8. Please revise future filings to reflect losses on the sale of
disposition of fixed assets within operating income. See paragraph

certifications. We note that you amended your filing on October

Controls and Procedures
10. We note your statement that "... any controls and procedures,
no
matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable
assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. . ."
Please
revise to state clearly, if true, that your disclosure controls
and
procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of
achieving
their objectives and that your principal executive officer and
principal financial officer concluded that your disclosure
controls
and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.
In
the alternative, please remove the reference to the level of
assurance of your disclosure controls and procedures. Please
refer
to Section II.F.4 of Management`s Reports on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting and Certification of Disclosure in Exchange
Act
Periodic Reports, SEC Release No. 33-8238, available on our
website
at http://www.sec.gov/rules/final/33-8238.htm.
11. We note your disclosure that your principal executive officer
and
principal financial officer have evaluated your disclosure
controls
and procedures as of a date within 90 days before the filing date
of
your annual report. Please amend your filing to disclose
management`s conclusion regarding the effectiveness of your
disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period
covered by the annual report. Refer to Item 307 of Regulation S-K
and Section II.F.3 of Management`s Reports on Internal Control
Over
Financial Reporting and Certification of Disclosure in Exchange
Act
Periodic Reports, Release No. 33-8238.
12. We note your disclosure that "there have been no significant
changes in the company`s disclosure controls and procedures or in
other factors that could significantly affect the disclosure
controls
and procedures ..." Please revise your disclosure to remove the
word
significant and to discuss all changes in your internal control
over
financial reporting, that have materially affected, or that are
reasonably likely to materially affect, your internal control over
financial reporting, as required by Item 308(c) of Regulation S-K.

As appropriate, please amend your October 31, 2004 Form 10-Q,
and July 31, 2004 Form 10-K and respond to these comments within

after
reviewing your responses to our comments.
We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and
adequacy of the disclosure in the filings reviewed by the staff to
be
certain that they have provided all information investors require.
Since the company and its management are in possession of all
facts
relating to a company`s disclosure, they are responsible for the
accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they have made.
In connection with responding to our comments, please
provide,
in writing, a statement from the company acknowledging that
* the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the
disclosure in the filings;
* staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff
comments in the filings reviewed by the staff do not foreclose the
Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and
* the company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any
proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the
federal securities laws of the United States.
In addition, please be advised that the Division of
Enforcement
has access to all information you provide to the staff of the
Division of Corporation Finance in our review of your filing or in
response to our comments on your filing.
