Item 4.01 Form 8-K
Filed May 13, 2005, June 14, 2005 and August 4, 2005
File No. 000-13628
Dear Mr. Hu:
We have reviewed the above referenced filings and have the
following comments. Where indicated, we think you should revise
your
document 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 any other aspect
of
our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed
at
the end of this letter.
Form 8-K filed August 4, 2005
1. Please refer to the second paragraph of the Form 8-K/A filed on
August 4, 2005 where you identify accounting disagreements.
Please
also refer to the accountant`s letter in Exhibit 16.2. Help us
understand why the disagreements noted between you and your former
independent accountant, De Joya & Company (De Joya), are not
consistent with one another.
2. Based on the July 15, 2005 date of the accountant`s letter, it
is
not clear whether De Joya has reviewed your Form 8-K/A filed on
August 4, 2005. Please amend your most recent 8-K to include an
updated Exhibit 16 letter from the former accountants stating
whether
the accountant agrees with the statements made in your revised
Form
8-K. Please note that if you file another amendment to the Form
8-K
you will need to include an Exhibit 16 letter to that filing as
well.
3. With respect to the disagreement with the former accountants,
revise the Form 8-K to provide all the information required by
Item
304(a)(1)(iv)(B), (C), (D) and (E) of Regulation S-B. Please also
note the requirements of Item 304(b) of Regulation S-B. If there
were any material transactions or events similar to those involved
in
the disagreement (or reportable event) that you accounted for or
disclosed differently than your prior accountant would have
concluded
was required, you should provide all of the disclosures required
by
Item 304(b) of Regulation S-B.
General
We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and
adequacy of the disclosure in the filing reviewed by the staff to
be
certain that they have provided all information investors require
for
an informed decision. 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 comment, 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 filing;
* staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff
comments 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.
As appropriate, please respond to these comments within five
business days or tell us when you will respond. Please submit all
correspondence and supplemental materials on EDGAR as required by
Rule 101 of Regulation S-T. Please furnish a cover letter that
keys
your responses to our comments and provides any requested
information. Detailed cover letters greatly facilitate our
review.
Please understand that we may have additional comments after
reviewing your amendment and responses to our comments.
You may contact Patrick Gilmore, Staff Accountant, at (202)
551-
3406 or me at (202) 551-3499 if you have questions regarding these
comments.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Collins
Accounting Branch Chief
