Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004
Commission
file #: 033-08732D
Dear
Ms.
Cvrkel,
We
have
received your letter dated September 1, 2005 regarding the above referenced
Form
10-KSB and the comments thereon. Our responses to your comments are as
follows:
1.
The
long term portion of tax liabilities, $59,621, is other pre-bankruptcy
tax
owed to the California State Board of Equalization and other tax
authorities. The Company is attempting to negotiate settlements on
these
taxes. Terms, repayment schedules and interest rates for these claims
have
not yet been set and are therefore considered long term and no interest
is
accruing. Terms and interest rate for the current portion of tax
liabilities have previously been set and the Company is currently
accruing
interest on this portion. At this time the Company does not believe
there
are any additional potential penalties on either of the tax liability
amounts.
2.
Prior
to fiscal year 2004 the stock issued for services was treated as
an
adjustment to change in accrued expenses and to change in management
compensation payable.

Linda

3.
The
company had no stock subscriptions outstanding at December 31, 2004.
The
50,000 shares referred to in the comment were issued in May 2004
while the
cash for these shares was received by the company in 2003. There
was not a
subscription receivable booked in prior quarters. There were no
subscriptions receivable as of December 31,
2004.
The
agreement with PIL S.A. is as noted in Form 10-KSB for the year ended December
31, 2001, Item 1 and Notes to Financials Note 8:
“In
October, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with PIL S.A., a
Switzerland Corporation, under which PIL S.A. would move to increase the
company's capital and bring in new majority shareholders. Total capital to
be
brought to the Company was to be $500,000 by October 31, 2001, and an additional
$500,000 by December 31, 2001, at a rate of $0.20 per share.”
The
Agreement with PIL S.A. has been terminated.
4.
The
company accrued the expense of $12,500 as of December 31, 2003 as
noted.
However, to extinguish this payable the company negotiated with the
service providers and agreed to pay them 1,250,000 shares for their
services. The company’s board authorized the issuance of these shares on
January 5, 2004. The company valued the shares at the market price
of the
shares on this date, which was $0.08. Thus the value of the issuance:
1,250,000 shares at $0.08 per share, equals $100,000.
5.
As
requested Form 8-K was filed September 21,
2005.
6.
The
disclosure in Item 8A will be changed in future 10-KSB’s to read as
follows:
ITEM
8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange
Act
of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized,
and
reported within the required time periods, and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely
decisions regarding disclosure.

Linda

_________________________________
As
required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we conducted an evaluation,
with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as
of
December 31, 2004.
There
has
been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the
fourth quarter ended December 31, 2004 that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting. Since the most recent evaluation date, there have been no significant
changes in our internal control structure, policies, and procedures or in other
areas that could significantly affect our internal control over financial
reporting.
The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”)
imposed
many requirements regarding corporate governance and financial reporting. One
requirement under section 404 of the Act, beginning with our annual report
for
the year ended June 30, 2007, is for management to report on the Company’s
internal controls over financial reporting and for our independent registered
public accountants to attest to this report.
7.
Form
10-KSB and subsequent filings will comply with the comments on the
Form
10-KSB.
We
believe we have responded to each of your comments. If you need additional
information or have additional comments, please contact me.
Sincerely,
/s/
David
Knudson
Secretary/Treasurer
Principal
Financial Officer
