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.
