Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Marketable Securities, page 39
1. Your response to prior comment number 4 indicates that you did
not
have any investments classified as available-for-sale as of June
30,
2004 and 2003. However, you disclose that "we classify all of our
marketable securities as available-for-sale" on page 39 of your
Form
10-KSB. Please explain this inconsistency to us. In addition,
explain to us how you considered the guidance in paragraph 118 of
SFAS 115 that requires cash flows related to trading securities to
be
classified as operating within your statements of cash flows.
2. Your response to prior comment number 4 also indicates that you
classified the shares of Jupitermedia held in escrow from the sale
of
ArtToday as trading securities. Please explain to us how these
escrow securities were used with the objective of generating
profits
on short-term differences in price and further explain why you
believe these securities have all of the characteristics of
trading
securities.
Note 2 - Discontinued operations
Sale of Keynomics, page 43
3. We have read your response to prior comment number 6 and note
that
it appears that you did not address whether you have eliminated
the
cash flows related to Keynomics as required under paragraph 42 of
SFAS 144. Please explain to us how you have concluded that the
cash
flows have been eliminated considering the existence of the
license
agreement.
Form 8-K filed July 7, 2005
4. Please explain to us how you considered providing pro forma
financial information reflecting your disposition of Allume in
accordance with Item 9.01(b) of Item 8-K.

comments within 10 business days or tell us when you will provide
us
with a response. Please submit all correspondence and
supplemental
materials on EDGAR as required by Rule 101 of Regulation S-T. You
may wish to provide us with marked copies of any amendment to
expedite our review. Please furnish a cover letter with any
amendment that keys your responses to our comments and provides
any
requested information. Detailed cover letters greatly facilitate
our
review. Please understand that we may have additional comments
after
reviewing any amendment and your responses to our comments.
