The Company will file an amended 10K and 10Q as requested for the period with the corrections and additions which you have brought to our attention.

Those corrections and additions are in the form of answers following each titled question.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, PAGE 4

2. We note that although we previously advised you of your reporting obligations under Item 303(a) of Regulations S-B, you continue to refrain from providing the required disclosures. As you know, given your financial condition this guidance requires you include disclosure in your filing describing your plan of operation for the next twelve months. Your Disclosures should address the following information:

a) A discussion of how long you can satisfy your cash requirements and whether you have to raise additional funds in the next twelve months.

RESPONSE. THE COMPANY PLANS TO RAISE FUNDS FROM THE SALE OF ASSETS ACQUIRED IN RECENT ACQUISITION OF VISION ENERGY GROUP AND WHEN APPROPRIATE FROM PROJECT LOAN FUNDS. THESE DISCUSSIONS WILL BE ADDED TO THE REVISIONS OF THE 10-KSB AND 10-QSB.

b) A summary of any research and development that you will perform during the next twelve months.

RESPONSE. THE SALE OF ASSETS ACQUIRED IN RECENT ACQUISITION OF VISION ENERGY GROUP.

d) A discussion of any expected significant changes in the number of employees to occur within the next twelve months.

RESPONSE. EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT WILL CONTINUE ITS RESPONSIBILITIES AND ALL OTHER PERSONNEL WILL BE OUTSOURCED.

Further, since you currently have no operations or employees, it is unclear how you are able to support, presenting your company as a going concern. We are unable to locate any disclosure explaining how you plan to overcome your financial difficulties, as would ordinarily be required under Financial Reporting Codification Section 607.02. As such, it appears that you should also revise your filing to include the disclosures required under this guidance, If you have no such plans, tell us how you believe your presentation would need to change to report on a liquidation basis.

RESPONSE; SEE "2D" ABOVE.
