Dear Mr. Schwall
Thank you for the comment letter of March 3rd.
The Company has endeavored to comply in its reporting obligations and we
recognize our shortcomings. The Sarbane Oxley requirement has not made it any
simpler. We understand that small business companies have an extension of one
year to implement Sarbane Oxley! 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.
Sincerely
Russell Smith
President and CEO

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.

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.
