Part II, Item 8A. Controls and Procedures

Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 1. We note your responses to our prior comments 9 through 14 that you intend to include the information in future filings. So that shareholders and potential investors can understand your officers` certifications and their conclusions regarding the effectiveness of your disclosure controls and procedures, please amend your Form 10-KSB and subsequent Forms 10-QSB to include the information that we requested in those comments, with the exception of prior comment 12. Concerning prior comment 12 only, please confirm to us in your response letter that there was no change in your internal control over financial reporting that occurred during your fourth fiscal quarter in 2004, your fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004, and your fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2004, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, your internal control over financial reporting.

Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2005

Part I, Item 3. Controls and Procedures 2. We note your response to our prior comment 13 that you "do not believe these identified potential deficiencies [within your internal control framework] constituted material weaknesses." Yet your response to our prior comment 17 and your Item 3 disclosure in this Form 10-QSB suggest you have not determined yet whether the deficiencies amounted to material weaknesses. In your response letter, please tell us the bases upon which your certifying officers concluded that your disclosure controls and procedures were effective during the period covered by this report in light of these deficiencies and your Chief Financial Officer situation. 3. Item 308(c) of Regulation S-B requires you disclose any change in your internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rule 13a- 15(d) that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, your internal control over financial reporting. We note your statement that there were no "significant" changes makes it unclear as to whether you believe there were "any" changes beyond "significant" ones. As a result, please confirm to us in your response letter that there was no change in your internal control over financial reporting that occurred during your fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, your internal control over financial reporting.
