File No. 1-11064
Form 10-K for the year ended December 25, 2004
File No. 1-11064
Dear Mr. Czaja:
We have reviewed your filings and have the following
comments.
Where indicated, we think you should revise your documents in
response to these comments. If you disagree, we will consider
your
explanation as to why a comment is inapplicable or a revision is
unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your
explanation.
In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with
supplemental information so we may better understand your
disclosure.
After reviewing this information, we may or may not raise
additional
comments.
Schedule 14A
Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions, page 18
1. We note the disclosure on page 21 that states that McKinsey &
Co.
has no relationship to the Company or to CAP Advisors. Why is
this
transaction disclosed in the discussion of related party
transactions?
Proposal 4 - Ratification and Approval of Note, Warrant and
Additional Investment Rights Issuance, page 27
2. We note your response to comment 18 and the statement that the
members of the Board of Directors control in excess of 50% of the
voting capital stock. However, our comment is reissued. Please
explain the consequences of having issued a convertible security
if
the issuance of the underlying security is not approved.
Form 10-K/A draft
Item 9A Controls and Procedures, page 6
3. We note your response to comment 22 and reissue the comment.
Please revise to conclude that the controls and procedures are
effective or not effective, as opposed to not fully effective.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 7. Financing Arrangements
Convertible Debt, page F-21
We have reviewed your response to comment 23. It does not appear
that you have sufficiently justified management`s conclusion that
the
conversion feature on the convertible debt meets the criteria of
paragraphs 12 and 13 of SFAS 133 to require bifurcation. Please
provide the analysis supporting how each criteria in paragraph 12
of
SFAS 133 are met.
Exhibits
4. We note your response to comment 8. The agreements that
existed
on December 31, 2004 should have been filed as exhibits to your
Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. To the extent that
they
were previously filed, you may incorporate the exhibits by
reference
to the report in which they were previously filed by including a
reference to the agreement in your list of exhibits and including
a
parenthetical which states that you are incorporating the exhibit
by
reference. The parenthetical should identify the filing in which
the
agreement was filed and the date of the filing. Please revise
your
exhibit list accordingly.
5. Additionally, your amended 10-K should include a complete list
of
exhibits as opposed to just the exhibits filed with the 10-K/A.
Please revise your exhibit list accordingly.
Please understand that the purpose of our review process is
to
assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure
requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing.
We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome
any questions you may have about our comments or any other aspect
of
our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed
at
the end of this letter.

amendments to expedite our review. Please furnish a cover letter
with your amendments that keys your responses to our comments and
provides any requested supplemental information. Detailed cover
letters greatly facilitate our review. Please file your cover
letter
on EDGAR under the form type label CORRESP. Please understand

and
