Registration Statement on Form S-1
Filed September 2, 2005
File No. 333-128075
Dear Mr. You-Bin:
This is to advise you that a preliminary review of the above
registration statement indicates that it fails in certain material
respects to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, the rules and regulations under that Act, and the
requirements
of the form. Specifically, we note that your auditors are located
in
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and that your operations are in China.
Based
on this information, it appears that reliance on other auditors
located in China would have been necessary. However, you have not
furnished the report of such other auditors as required by Rule 2-
05
of Regulation S-X. For this reason, we will not perform a
detailed
examination of the registration statement, and we will not issue
any
comments because to do so would delay the review of other
disclosure
documents that do not appear to contain comparable deficiencies.
You
should revise the filing to include the report of the other
auditors
that were relied on by the Oklahoma City firm. If that firm has
concluded that they are the principal auditor and that audit
reports
of other auditors are not also required to be filed, please
provide
us with the following:
* A detailed explanation of the steps taken by your auditors to
express an opinion on your financial statements without making
reference in their report to the audits of any other accounting
firms. Refer to AU Section 543.
* The name of the firm that performed audit procedures for the
operations in China. Indicate if this firm is currently
registered
with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB).
Confirm,
if true, that their audit procedures were performed in accordance
with United States generally accepted auditing standards for
audits
performed prior to May 24, 2004 and in accordance with the
standards
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
for
audits performed after that date. Describe in detail the nature of
the procedures they performed for which your Oklahoma City
auditors
took responsibility.
* The name of the independent firm in that facilitated the sending
of
confirmations for the audits. Indicate if this firm is currently
registered with the PCAOB. Confirm, if true, that their audit
procedures were performed in accordance with United States
generally
accepted auditing standards for audits performed prior to May 24,
2004 and in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) for audits performed
after
that date.
Please contact us, along with your independent auditors, to
discuss the requested items above prior to submitting a response
to
this letter.
You are advised that we will not recommend acceleration of
the
effective date of the registration statement and that, should the
registration statement become effective in its present form, we
would
be required to consider what recommendation, if any, we should
make
to the Commission.
We suggest that you consider submitting a substantive
amendment
to the Form SB-2 to correct the deficiencies or a request for
withdrawal of the filing.
Please direct any questions to Melinda Kramer at (202) 551-
3726
or, in her absence, Barry Stem, Senior Chief Accountant at (202)
551-
3763.
Sincerely,
H. Roger Schwall
Assistant Director
