Contractual Obligations, page 14

Comment 5. 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.

Comment 6. 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.”

Item 8 - Financial Statements

Report of Independent Registered Accounting Firm, page F-2

Comment 7. We note the statement that the audits were conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, “except as discussed in the following paragraph.” Please obtain a revised report from your independent accountant which states, in clear and unqualified language, that the audits were conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Please file an amendment to your Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 that includes the revised report from your independent accountant.

Response 7. We have obtained a revised report from our independent accountant to be included in our proposed amended Form 10-K and which conforms to your requirement. See Exhibit 1.

Comment 8. Please also note that an explanatory paragraph included to describe the uncertainty about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern should be presented after the opinion paragraph. See paragraph 12 of SAS 59. The revised opinion from your independent accountant included in your amended Form 10-K should conform to this requirement.

Response 8. The revised report from our independent accountant conforms to your requirement. See Exhibit 1.

Consolidated Balance Sheets, page F-4

Comment 9. You currently only disclose the 2003 allowance for doubtful accounts on the face of your balance sheet. If you choose to present the allowance for doubtful accounts on the face of your balance sheet, please present the amounts of the allowance for both years.

Response 9. We have included the 2004 allowance of $74,339 on the face of our Balance Sheet in our proposed revision below.

Comment 11. 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

      Comment
        5.
        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.

      Response

        The

        obligations that include four vehicle leases on IFT Corporation, and one
        equipment lease on Infiniti Products, Inc., books, respectively. The estimated

        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.”

        You
        currently only disclose the 2003 allowance for doubtful accounts on the face

        your balance sheet. If you choose to present the allowance for doubtful accounts
        on the face of your balance sheet, please present the amounts of the allowance
        for both years.

        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.

        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
        F-4 on the Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 in our proposed

        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

        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
