and this letter is intended to respond accordingly. Each paragraph number of
this letter corresponds to your comments to us dated May 17, 2005, and we have
attached two redlined copies and one clean copy, each such copy bound, of our
amended registration statement on Form SB-2 for your timely review and comment
as appropriate. We note to you that references to page numbers in the
registration statement will be with respect to the redlined copies.

indicated.
RESPONSE: The minimum purchase requirement for each person is now detailed

and the financial information on page 2 is consistent with those financial
statements.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
----------------------------------------
d. Revenue Recognition Policy, pages F/S-8 and F/S-9
----------------------------------------------------
18. COMMENT. Refer to prior comment 13. The information provided and disclosure
added do not adequately address our concerns regarding how revenue is
recognized based on the terms of individual contracts and their completion.
As you've indicated in your response to prior comment 40 (and as described
in the Specimen contract under Exhibit 10.11), the term of the contract was
for six (6) months. Consequently, revenue should not be recognized until it
has been determined that the contract has been completed (e.g., term of
contract has expired after 6 months) regardless of whether or not a monthly
fee is assessed. Please revise to comply.
RESPONSE: We respectfully disagree with your position as to the recognition
of revenues based on the specimen contract we provided in a previous
filing. We have consulted with our corporate counsel, our external auditors
and several other qualified CPA's on this comment and have unanimously
determined that our
<PAGE>
current treatment of the contract and our revenue recognition policy are
appropriate based on the terms of our contracts. We believe that the stated
monthly fee assessment is "revenue" in the month the services are provided
regardless of the duration of the contractual arrangement. In our view, the
contract contains no terms that would preclude this treatment. We have
attempted to contact Mr. David Burton on this matter but have been unable
to speak with him and have not yet received a return call as of this
filing. If you still disagree with our position we believe it would be
beneficial to speak about this on the phone so that any necessary
clarifications can be provided.
Financial Statements for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2004 and 2003
---------------------------------------------------------------------
19. COMMENT. Refer to prior comment 15. We note that the independent auditors'
report is dated April 11, 2005. If this is correct, the dual date for Note
13 should be removed since it was prior to the report date (i.e., March 23,
2005). Please revise.
RESPONSE: The date of the original opinion of October 18, 2004 should have
appeared on the last filing rather than April 11, 2005. The dual date of
March 23, 2005 for Note 13 is correct. We have updated this information on
page F/S-1.
Financial statements for the periods ended November 30, 2004 and 2003
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Statements of Operations, page F/S-17
-------------------------------------
20. COMMENT. Refer to prior comment 17. The amount recorded as common stock
issued for services should be properly aligned. Please revise.
RESPONSE: Our previous filing appears to have been correct. Please see page
F/S-21.
Note 9 - Contingencies
----------------------
Unregistered Spin-off page F/S-12
---------------------------------
21. COMMENT. An amount subject to rescission from possible Section 5 violation
should be reflected on your financial statements. As indicated here and
disclosed on page 10 of MD&A, you have satisfied the requirements to accrue
an estimated loss as outlined in paragraph 8 of FAS 5. Please revise.
RESPONSE: Management and corporate counsel have reviewed FAS 5 in detail
and do not believe both conditions have been met which would require an
accrual of the loss. Management believes that the loss can be reasonably
estimated but the likelihood of loss is between remote and reasonably
possible. In order to be conservative and per FAS 5, this requires
disclosure of the contingency but not accrual.
<PAGE>
General
-------
22. COMMENT. The financial statements should be updated to satisfy the
requirements of Item 310(g) of Regulation S-B. In addition, a currently
dated consent of the independent accountants should be included in any
amendment to the registration statement. Also, reconcile the date of the
auditors' report included herein to the report itself.
RESPONSE: The financial statements have been updated through February 28,
2005. A currently dated consent of the independent accountants has been
included in this amendment to the registration statement. See response to
comment 19 above regarding the auditors' report date.
PART II - INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
------------------------------------------------
ITEM 26. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
------------------------------------------------
23. COMMENT. Information should be updated to the latest date.
RESPONSE: Information regarding recent sales of unregistered securities are
updated through June 6, 2005.
We hope that our responses to your comments have been both timely and
succinct. If you require any further information, please contact me at the
number above via telephone or fax, or by e-mail at kdenos@denoslaw.com.
