We did
not have any specific commitments as of December 31, 2004 only general
strategies that would require us to make capital expenditures on an as and
when
needed basis in carrying out such strategies, which expenditures were
anticipated to be funded from short term loans by the Chairman of the Board.
On
December 31, 2004, we had fixed assets of $595,852. On March 31, 2005, we
had
fixed assets in the amount of $764,983, giving us capital expenditures for
the
quarter of $169,131. This total was comprised of (1) the assets acquired
from
LaPolla Industries, Inc. in the amount of $133,264; (2) purchases of office
furniture, computers and software, equipment and leasehold improvements of
$25,103 for Infiniti Products, Inc.; and (3) purchases of office furniture,
computers and equipment $10,764 for IFT Corporation. All of the capital
expenditures were either funded from the cash flow from operations and/or
the
Chairman of the Board.

Please
review the disclosure below made in our Form 10-K for the Year Ended December

“Note
3. Discontinued Operations.
On
April
14, 1999, the Board of Directors passed a unanimous resolution to discontinue
the activities of Designer Wear, Inc. ("DWI") and ROK International, Inc.
("ROK"), retroactive for the year ended December 31, 1998. DWI and ROK were
engaged in the acquisition of license agreements for the design, contract
manufacturing, sale, and worldwide distribution of Branded Merchandise
products. Rainguard Roofing Corporation was acquired, effective January 1,
2001, primarily for the Company to field test its RSM Series™ flagship products,
RSM-100™ and BlueMAX™, and generate revenue. The Company divested the roof
contracting business, effective December 31, 2001, which is reflected in
(Loss)
from Discontinued Operations in the amount of $(1,662,183). A summary of

During

and
contingencies, and decided that a commitments and contingency reserve was
no
longer required.”

Comment

Please
revise your table of contractual obligations to include the estimated interest
payments on your debt. Because the table is aimed at increasing the transparency
of cash flow, we believe these payments should be included in the table.
Please
also disclose any assumptions you made to derive these amounts.
Response
5.
The
assumptions we made to derive these amounts relate to five long-term debt
obligations that include four vehicle leases on IFT Corporation, and one
equipment lease on Infiniti Products, Inc., books, respectively. The estimated
interest payments remaining on this debt total $1,907.62 are included in
our
proposed revision below.

Please
tell us where you have provided the disclosures required by Schedule II related
to your allowance for doubtful accounts.
Response
6.
Please
see our disclosure extracted from Page F-14 Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements “Allowance for Doubtful Accounts” section presented below in response
to your comment.
“Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
The
Company currently has an allowance for doubtful accounts reserve. The
amount reserved for doubtful accounts is $74,339 through December 31, 2004,
and
$358,607 as of December 31, 2003. The balance in the allowance for doubtful
accounts was adjusted during 2004 to more accurately estimate those accounts
that may be uncollectible. In the past, allowance for doubtful accounts applied
a percentage to all customer balances in the 31-60, 61-90, and over 90 day
balances, and those percentages were deemed in excess, therefore, new
percentages have been applied and the result was a reduction in allowance
for
doubtful accounts of $168,239 after an adjustment in the fourth quarter of
2004;
management believes these percentages more accurately depict the allowance
for
doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2004.”

Please
present goodwill separately from any other intangible assets on the face
of your
balance sheet. Please also revise the title of the goodwill line item to
avoid
its confusion with other intangibles. See paragraphs 42 and 43 of SFAS
142.
Response

The
Intangibles amount of $774,000 on page F-4 is comprised entirely from the
acquisition of Infiniti Products, Inc. Also, please refer to Note 6 in the
“Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for a further breakdown of the
Goodwill and Intangibles. We have renamed “Intangibles” to “Goodwill” on page

Please
amend your filing to present the Reserve for Litigation line item consistently
for all periods presented. The reserve for litigation as of December 31,
2003 is
included in the Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses line item. It is also
unclear why you have referenced the reserve for litigation line item to note
3.
Further, while the tabular detail in note 7 currently includes the litigation
reserve for both periods, only the 2003 balance is included in Total Accounts
Payable and Accrued Expenses. Please revise as appropriate.
Response
11(a).
The
Reserve for Litigation was $929,091 as of December 31, 2003 (See
Note 7 -
page F-18). The proposed amendment removes the $929,091 from the Accounts
Payable a
