disclosure, as appropriate, in future filings and requests that the Staff

Please

June 30, 2006 and 2005 to reflect a figure of $(0.00) or

$(0.00).
5.
We
note the revisions to the New Millennium Note which resulted in reduced
principal and interest totaling approximately $282,000, however it
is not
clear if these revisions relate to the reduction to note payable
and
accrued interest reflected on the statements of operations in the
amount
of $362,320. Please clarify for us and revise
accordingly.
Response:
The
reduction in principal and interested totaling approximately $282,000 consists
of a reduction of principal in the amount of $220,000 and a reduction in
interest in the amount of $62,320, or a total of $282,320. The discrepancy
between this aggregate amount and the amount of $362,320 reflected in the
statement of operations is the further result of a clerical error in the amount
of $80,000. The correct amount that should have been reflected in the statement
of operations is $282,320. The Registrant noticed the error and filed an amended
Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB on November 17, 2006, correcting such error
in
the statement of operations.
Statements
of Cash Flows for the Six Month Periods Ending June 30, 2006 and
2005
6.
Please
identify the loans from which you received proceeds in the notes
to the
financial statements. In addition, it is not evidence that he reduction
to
Note Payable was a cash transaction. Please tell us how the note
was
reduced and revise your disclosure as
appropriate.
Response:
As
indicated in Note 4 to the Notes to Financial Statements, the Registrant
received proceeds from promissory notes in three different offerings. The terms
of the loans involved in each of these offerings are described under the
headings “First Offering”, “Second Offering” and “Third Offering”. Separately,
the reduction to the note payable in the amount of $282,320 was not a cash
transaction. The reduction came about as a result of negotiations between New
Millennium Capital Partners, LLC (“New Millennium”) and the Registrant,
culminating in an agreement on April 28, 2006, as indicated in Note 7 to the
Notes to Financial Statements, to amend the promissory note issued by the
Registrant to New Millennium (the “New Millennium Note”) to (i) extend the due
date to January 15, 2008; (ii) waive any payments of interest until the New
Millennium Note becomes due; (iii) reduce the principal amount of the New
Millennium Note from $1,120,000 to $900,000, equal to New Millennium's basis
in
said Note; and (iv) correspondingly reduce the accrued but unpaid interest
due
under the terms of the New Millennium Note from $317,956 to $255,636. The
Registrant believes that the existing disclosure explains both the terms of
the
loans made as part of the First Offering, Second Offering and Third Offering,
as
well as the circumstances surrounding the reduction of the principal of, and
accrued but unpaid interest on, the New Millennium Note. However, the Registrant
is willing to make additional disclosure in future filings if the Staff believes
that such disclosure would be meaningful.
In
connection with the foregoing response, the Registrant acknowledges
that:
·
It
is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in
its
filings;
·
Staff
comments of changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments do
not
foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the
filing; and
·
The
Registrant may not assert Staff comments as a defense in any proceeding
initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities
laws of the United States.
Please
respond to the undersigned with any further comments or any other communications
regarding the Comment Letter.
Very
truly yours,
/s/
