We
note your response to comment 8 in your letter dated September 21,
2005. We are still unclear how you accounted for the difference between
the fair value of the asset received and the fair value of the loan
written down for the receipt of the common shares of a public U.S. company
with a market value of $306,530 for a loan receivable previously written
down during the 2002 fiscal year in the amount of $108,065. Please refer
to paragraph 18 of the APB No. 29 in your
response.
During
fiscal 2002, the Company wrote-off a loan it made to a Company that had
filed for bankruptcy. During fiscal 2003, the Company received shares of a
US listed company as settlement for the loan. The Company reported the
recovery of $108,065, which represented the amount of the loan, as a gain
on the income statement and as the cost base of the shares. The fair
market value of the shares, as reported in the financial notes, was
$306,530 for the year ending December 31, 2003. In reference to paragraph
18 of APB No. 29, the Company recorded the cost of the shares received
based upon the value of the asset they arose from as the shares of the US
listed company were not trading at the time of
transfer.
We trust
the foregoing to be in order but should you have any questions or concerns,
please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.
Yours
truly,
SANGRA
MOLLER LLP
