Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, page 1

1. We note the revisions to your financial statements related to the reclassification of certain beneficial conversion rights and deferred compensation and the revaluation of options and warrants issued to non-employees and employees for services. We also note your footnote on page 26 titled, "Restatement of Results." Tell us how your auditors considered including a reference in their audit report to the restatement. We refer you to AU 561.06.

Consolidated Statement of Stockholders` Equity (Deficit), page 5

2. We note your revised presentation of your statement of stockholders` equity (deficit) for year ended December 31, 2004. It appears that the ending balances at December 31, 2003 do not agree to the beginning balances at January 1, 2004 and that certain amounts for the year ended December 31, 2004 are not in the correct columns. Revise your presentation to include the correct amounts, as necessary, or tell us why such revisions are not necessary.

Restatement of Results, page 26

3. We have reviewed your explanatory note on page 2 of your 10- KSB/A and note your statement, "the restatement involves reclassifying certain equity positions in connection with beneficial conversion rights accrued to warrants and shares of convertible preferred stock issued in 2003 and 2004 as well as the reclassification of deferred compensation." However, in your restatement footnote on page 26, you refer only to the restated financial results to reflect a revision related to the valuation of securities issued to non-employees for services performed. Tell us why your restatement footnote does not discuss the revisions related to your reclassifications related to the beneficial conversion rights accrued to warrants and shares of convertible preferred stock. Additionally, help us understand what the beneficial conversion rights you refer to on page 2 consist of and provide us with your calculation/analysis of this beneficial conversion rights as well as the accounting literature you are relying on.

General

4. Please refer to comment 6 in our letter dated October 21, 2005. We note in your response that the Company filed a separate correspondence via Edgar, signed by the executive officers and directors of the Company, acknowledging your responsibilities as indicated in our previous comment. We note, however, that the correspondence filed via Edgar included was only signed by Mr. Angelastri. Was it the Company`s intent to have all named persons sign the letter? If so, please revise to include appropriate signatures.
