We note your disclosure within MD&A on page 6 that certain officers, employees, and consultants agreed not to receive compensation during the quarter ended January 31, 2003, that from April 2003 though January 2004 a portion of compensation was paid while the remainder was accrued, and that since February 2004, you have discontinued paying or accruing regular compensation to the aforementioned individuals and are instead paying for services rendered only as such services are provided. Supplementally tell us if any of the individuals are significant shareholders, and if so, the marketvalue of the forfeited salary and how you have accounted for that value. Refer to SAB topic 5T. Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates and New Accounting Pronouncements, page 8 2. We note the cross-reference to Note 2 to your audited financial statements intended to satisfy the requirement for the discussion of critical accounting policies and new accounting pronouncements. These discussions are meant to supplement, not duplicate the disclosures presented in the financial statements and to provide greater insight into the quality and variability of information regarding financial condition and operating performance. As such, please revise your disclosure to comply with Part V of FR 76.. Please provide a copy of your intended disclosure in your response. Financial Statements Consolidated Balance Sheet, page 11 3. Supplementally explain to us the facts and circumstances surrounding the $9,500 advance from affiliates. Include in your response the interest rate charged and the likelihood you will repay this amount. Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, page 14 4.

Supplementally reconcile this figure with the balances presented on your balance sheet as of October 31, 2004. Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Earnings Per Share, page 16 5. We assyme that your reference to "common stock equivalents" actually refers to potential common stock. If true, supplementally explain to us why you believe you have no potential common stock outstanding. Specifically, it appears that you have 1,090,000 and 90,000 options that would qualify as common stock equivalents for fiscal 2003 and 2004, respectively. Although there is no difference in basic and diluted earnings per share for the fiscal years presented due to antidilution in net loss years, you must disclose the number of shares excluded from the calculation that could be antidilutive in future years.
