------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Mr. Rohn:
This letter responds to your letter of comments dated September 23,
2005. The comments contained in your letter are set forth below in their
entirety for your convenience.
1. WE NOTE YOU HAVE ENGAGED THE ACCOUNTING FIRM OF CATHERINE FANG, CPA,
LLC TO AUDIT YOUR YEAR ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2004 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. WE
ALSO NOTE THAT THE FIRM OF CATHERINE FANG, CPA, LLC HAS NOT APPLIED FOR
REGISTRATION WITH THE PUBLIC COMPANY ACCOUNTING OVERSIGHT BOARD
(PCAOB). SECTION 102 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002 MAKES IT
UNLAWFUL AFTER OCTOBER 22, 2003 FOR ANY PERSON THAT IS NOT A REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (I.E. REGISTERED WITH THE PCAOB) TO PREPARE OR
ISSUE, OR TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PREPARATION OR ISSUANCE OF, ANY AUDIT
REPORT (OR REVIEW REPORT) WITH RESPECT TO ANY ISSUER. YOU MUST ENGAGE A
NEW ACCOUNTANT THAT IS A PUBLICLY REGISTERED ACCOUNTING FIRM TO PERFORM
REVIEW OR AUDIT WORK FOR THE COMPANY. PLEASE FILE A NEW ITEM 4 FORM 8-K
AFTER YOU HAVE ENGAGED NEW ACCOUNTANTS THAT ARE REGISTERED WITH THE
PCAOB. PROVIDE ALL OF THE DISCLOSURES REQUIRED BY ITEM 304 OF
REGULATION S-K REGARDING THE PERIOD OF ENGAGEMENT OF CATHERINE FANG,
CPA, LLC WHICH SHOULD INCLUDE AN EXHIBIT 16 LETTER FROM CATHERINE FANG,
CPA, LLC.
As we discussed in our recent telephone conversation, Catherine Fang,
CPA, LLC is in the process of registering with the PCAOB. We anticipate
that the registration process will be completed on or about October 20,
2005. We are aware that Catherine Fang, CPA, LLC may not issue a review
report or audit report for us prior to the date that the registration
process is complete. Assuming Catherine Fang, CPA, LLC is successful in
the registration process, we do not believe it will be necessary to
file a new Item 4 Form 8-K until such time, if any, that we decide to
terminate the services of Catherine Fang, CPA, LLC.

2. WE NOTE THAT YOU HAVE NOT FILED YOUR FORM 10-K FOR THE FISCAL YEAR
ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2004. IN ADDITION, YOU HAVE NOT FILED YOUR FORM
10-Q'S FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIODS ENDED MAY 31, 2004, AUGUST 31, 2004,
FEBRUARY 28, 2005, AND MAY 31, 2005. WE REMIND YOU OF YOUR REPORTING
OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 13 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 AND
THE FILING DEADLINES OF FORM 10-K AND FORM 10-Q. PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT
A FORM 12B-25 IS REQUIRED TO BE FILED WHEN A PERIODIC FILING WILL BE
FILED LATE. PLEASE TELL US WHEN YOU PLAN TO FILE ALL OF YOUR DELINQUENT
PERIODIC REPORTS.
We are aware of our reporting obligations under Section 13 and also are
aware of the need to file a Form 12b-25 when a periodic filing will be
filed late. We anticipate filing a Form 12b-25 relating to our Form
10-Q for the quarterly period ended August 30, 2005 on October 14,
2005.
As we discussed in our recent telephone conversation, we are preparing
to file our late Form 10-K and Form 10-Qs as soon as practicable after
we are able to complete the preparation of those filings and Catherine
Fang, CPA, LLC becomes PCAOB-registered. We anticipate becoming current
with all of our periodic filings by May 2006.
