Ladies and Gentlemen:

We submit this letter to the Staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in response to its comments, dated October 5, 2005 (the "Comment Letter"), with respect to the Company's Post Effective Amendments, dated August 23, 2005 (collectively, the "Post Effective Amendments") to the Financing Registration Statement and the Shelf Registration Statement (collectively, the "Registration Statements"). We have previously submitted a response letter on September 28, 2005, (the "September Response Letter") in response to an earlier comment letter from the Commission. For the Staff's convenience, the responses set forth below are numbered to correspond to the comments in the Commission Letter and we have also set forth such comments for the convenience of the Staff.

In connection with our response to the issues raised by the Comment Letter, we request that the Staff consider the following:

1. Since we became aware of the problem of the invalid consents described in the Post-Effective Amendments, we have engaged our current auditors, Odenberg, Ullakko, Muranishi & Co. ("OUM"), an independent registered public accounting firm, to re-audit our financial statements for our fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003. OUM has completed its re-audit and has issued a report regarding the Company's financial statements for fiscal year 2003 and 2002, and this report has been filed as part of an amendment on Form 10-K/A filed with the Commission on October 24, 2005.

2. The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors has commenced and has undertaken an independent review of the circumstances pertaining to the BDO Seidman consent described in the Post-Effective Amendments. As part of this review, the Audit Committee has retained independent counsel, Keker & Van Nest LLP, to investigate how and why unauthorized consents of BDO Seidman were filed in the final and penultimate amendments to the Registration Statements.

3. The Audit Committee of our Board will be examining various alternative remedial measures to attempt to improve our internal controls to reasonably assure that issues such as the unauthorized filings of the BDO Seidman consents may be prevented in the future to the fullest extent practicable. After the Audit Committee completes the review referred to in paragraph 2 above, we will review and seek to implement such remedial measures as will be set forth in the Audit Committee's report and the internal control issues and remedial measures in reference shall be the subject of appropriate disclosure in filings to be made to the Commission in a timely manner.

We bring these measures taken by the Company to the attention of the Staff so that the Staff is made aware of the seriousness and concern with which the Company's management and its Board have reacted to and view the problems associated with and pertaining to the improperly authorized BDO Seidman consents.

Post-Effective Amendments to Forms S-3 (File Nos. 333-122391 and 333-122392)

1. We note your response to comment 1; however, you should promptly file post-effective amendments to deregister unsold shares. Please note that your principal financial officer and principal accounting officer or controller must sign post-effective amendments to Securities Act registration statements. You may file new registrations statements when you are able to submit fully compliant documents.

As noted earlier in this letter, our auditors, OUM, have completed an audit of the Company's financial statements and schedules for fiscal years 2003 and 2002. We filed OUM's report regarding the financial statements as an amendment on Form 10-K/A to the Company's Annual Report on From 10-K on October 24, 2005. Although we concede the Commission's position that any registration statement that lacks an auditor's consent to incorporate by reference audited financial statements and schedules for earlier fiscal years is materially defective, we believe that this type of defect may be cured by filing a post-effective amendment that would be accompanied by a new valid consent to incorporate by reference the financial statements reported upon by independent accountants for the earlier fiscal years in reference. We believe that the matter under scrutiny is analogous to a situation where a document, which would typically be required to be filed as an exhibit, contained a material defect or does not constitute the proper document for exhibit purposes under SEC regulation - - in that situation, we believe that the Commission would allow the registrant to correct the defect through the filing of a post-effective amendment with the appropriate corrected exhibit. Similarly, the absence of an authorized consent of the auditor to incorporate by reference the financial statements that it has audited should not obligate the Company to withdraw its Registration Statements if the Company is ready, willing, and able to file post-effective amendments accompanied by a new exhibit consisting of valid, duly obtained consents by OUM to incorporate by reference audited financial statements from the Company's independent accountants who have undertaken the audit.

We respectfully submit that filing an additional post-effective amendment to each of the Registration Statements would accomplish, with less confusion to the markets, the approach and objectives of the regulatory scheme governing disclosure by public companies. It is our view that the filing of new post-effective amendments cures the defect in the original registration statement and, in our view, we "are able to submit fully compliant documents." (See third sentence of comment 1 of the Comment Letter). Further, as we noted in our Post-Effective Amendments and confirmed to the Staff in the September Response Letter, since we have taken steps to assure that at this time no resales will take place under the prospectus from the Financing Registration Statement and no future sales will be made from the Shelf Registration Statement, we do not perceive why our proposal to file new post effective amendments accompanied by appropriate independent accountants' consents would not constitute a legitimate alternative to the Staff's position that we withdraw the original registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). In connection herewith, we are prepared to file such post-effective amendments accompanied by the new consents as exhibits thereto as soon as we are advised whether the Staff accepts our foregoing proposal. Any such post-effective amendment would also contain disclosure respecting the Staff's inquiry arising from the BDO Seidman consent in reference as well as the investigation by the Company's Audit Committee.

2. We note that nobody signed your August 23, 2005 post-effective amendments in the capacities of principal financing officer and principal accounting officer or controller. Please tell us why not.

As noted in our response to comment 6 in the September Response Letter, Kim Tsuchimoto, who was formerly our principal financial and accounting officer, did not sign the Post-Effective Amendments because she resigned on August 23, 2005, immediately before the time on the date the Company filed the Post-Effective Amendments in question, and was therefore no longer the Company's principal financial and accounting officer at the time we filed the Post-Effective Amendments.

The Company determined, following Ms. Tsuchimoto's resignation, that it was appropriate to file the post-effective amendments as expeditiously as possible to inform the investing public of the problem with BDO's consent in a timely manner. At the time of the filing of the Post-Effective Amendments, the Company had not appointed a new principal financial and accounting officer. Therefore, at such time, we did not believe that there was any employee who was authorized to sign the Post-Effective Amendments in such capacity. The undersigned did sign the Post-Effective Amendments in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer and has signed subsequent filings made with the Commission in the dual capacities of Chief Executive Officer and principal financial and accounting officer.

3. Please expand your response to comment 3 to tell us whether any of the selling shareholders sold any of the securities included in the applicable registration statement.

We do not have specific knowledge of any sales of securities by any of the selling shareholders pursuant to the Financing Registration Statement. In an attempt to respond to this comment of the Staff as completely as practicable, we contacted our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Co. ("AST&T") on multiple occasions in October 2005 and on November 1, 2005, to inquire as to whether they had knowledge of any such sales by the selling shareholders. However, on November 1, AST&T advised us that they do not keep records of such sales and were therefore unable to provide us with any additional relevant information.

4. Expand your response to comment 8 to provide a detailed analysis of any legal authority that supports your conclusions regarding (1) whether the option was a "security" for purposes of the Securities Act, and (2) whether the offer and sale of the security was exempt from registration under the Act.

In response to this comment of the Staff, we respectfully submit that:

1. The right to purchase "additional securities" pursuant to the August 5, 2005 Purchase Agreement between the Company and certain institutional purchasers (the "Purchase Agreement") did not and does not constitute a "security" within the meaning of the Securities Act for the following reasons:

(a) The Purchase Agreement was structured as an offer to purchase shares by the institutional purchasers named therein from the Company, an offer which the Company accepted. The Purchase Agreement described the "rights" to purchase additional shares. The provisions governing the "right" to the potential purchase of additional shares could have been availed of by one or more of the purchasers within two days of a notice delivered by a purchaser after the date of the initial closing or at any time thereafter during the relatively short term 30 day period at a higher price than that at which the initial Shares were sold to them under the Purchase Agreement. That "right" was not represented by a separate instrument and was not subject to other traditional clauses or conditions, such as an anti-dilution clause, a special reservation or allocation of shares requirement of the Company, a separate Registration Rights Agreement or any other provisions which are standard or typical for "options" or "rights" which may be deemed securities within the meaning of the Securities Act. Nor is there any evidence that the "right" was, or was intended to be, transferable in whole or in part, to any third party or parties. Indeed, as noted above, the "right" questioned by the Staff could have resulted in the consummated purchase of the additional Common Shares within several days after the date of the initial closing Purchase Agreement or at any other time during the 30 day period referring thereto in the Purchase Agreement. Had such additional Shares been purchased by all or some of the purchasers within several days after the date of the Purchase Agreement, we seriously doubt whether the Staff of the Commission would have even raised the question of whether this very short-term "right" constituted a "security." The short term nature of this "contractual right" and the absence of all the other features which characterize a security appear to demonstrate that the "right" in reference did not and does not constitute a security.

(b) We acknowledge that the definition of a "security" under Section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act includes "rights" and "options" but, for the reasons indicated in clause (a) above, we do not believe that the recitation of those terms, among many others, in Section 2(a)(1) should be the controlling factor in their definition. In this respect, we respectfully remind the Staff that the introductory clause to the definitions under Section 2 of the Securities Act expressly notes that terms used in Section 2 should have the meanings set forth therein "unless the context otherwise requires." When determining the applicability of the phrase "unless the context otherwise requires", in the introductory clause to Section 2 of the Securities Act, we believe that the Federal courts, in interpreting the provisions of the Federal securities statutes, including the definitions of terms used therein, have consistently and repeatedly held that these provisions should be interpreted to serve the "remedial" purposes of these statutes. We respectfully urge the Staff to consider how and in what manner determining that the "right" in reference is a security serves the remedial purposes of the Securities Act where, as here, this rather short term "right" was made available to the same small group of investors, all of whom had previously purchased securities issued by the Company, and who had just purchased Shares of the Company in reliance upon a current prospectus containing considerable disclosure with respect to the Company and the risks of an investment in its shares.

(c) Clearly, the contractual right in reference does not constitute an "investment contract" within the meaning of the Securities Act since it does not constitute an investment in a common enterprise to be managed by third parties for a

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We submit this letter to the Staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the
U.S.  Securities and Exchange  Commission (the  "Commission") in response to its
comments,  dated  October 5, 2005 (the  "Comment  Letter"),  with respect to the
Company's Post Effective  Amendments,  dated August 23, 2005 (collectively,  the
"Post  Effective  Amendments") to the Financing  Registration  Statement and the

Seidman  consent  described in the  Post-Effective  Amendments.  As part of this

Post-Effective Amendments to Forms S-3 (File Nos. 333-122391 and 333-122392)

1.    We note your  response to comment 1;  however,  you should  promptly  file
      post-effective  amendments to deregister  unsold shares.  Please note that
      your  principal  financial  officer and  principal  accounting  officer or
      controller   must  sign   post-effective   amendments  to  Securities  Act

      you are able to submit fully compliant documents.

As noted earlier in this letter,  our auditors,  OUM, have completed an audit of
the Company's financial statements and schedules for fiscal years 2003 and 2002.
We filed OUM's report regarding the financial statements as an amendment on Form

we concede the Commission's position that any registration  statement that lacks

for exhibit purposes under SEC regulation - - in that situation, we believe that
the  Commission  would allow the  registrant  to correct the defect  through the

Similarly, the absence of an authorized consent of the auditor to incorporate by
reference the financial  statements  that it has audited should not obligate the
Company  to  withdraw  its  Registration  Statements  if the  Company  is ready,
willing, and able to file post-effective amendments accompanied by a new exhibit

We do not have  specific  knowledge  of any  sales of  securities  by any of the
selling shareholders  pursuant to the Financing  Registration  Statement.  In an
attempt to respond to this comment of the Staff as completely as practicable, we
contacted our transfer agent,  American Stock Transfer & Trust Co.  ("AST&T") on
multiple  occasions  in October  2005 and on November 1, 2005,  to inquire as to
whether  they had  knowledge  of any such  sales  by the  selling  shareholders.
However,  on November 1, AST&T  advised us that they do not keep records of such
sales and were  therefore  unable to  provide  us with any  additional  relevant

4.    Expand your  response  to comment 8 to provide a detailed  analysis of any
      legal authority that supports your  conclusions  regarding (1) whether the
      option was a  "security"  for  purposes  of the  Securities  Act,  and (2)
      whether the offer and sale of the  security  was exempt from  registration
      under the Act.

In response to this comment of the Staff, we respectfully submit that:

      1. The right to purchase "additional securities" pursuant to the August 5,
2005 Purchase Agreement between the Company and certain institutional purchasers
(the "Purchase  Agreement") did not and does not constitute a "security"  within
the meaning of the Securities Act for the following reasons:

            (a) The Purchase  Agreement  was  structured as an offer to purchase
shares by the institutional  purchasers named therein from the Company, an offer
which the Company  accepted.  The Purchase  Agreement  described the "rights" to
purchase  additional  shares.  The  provisions  governing  the  "right"  to  the
potential  purchase of  additional  shares  could have been availed of by one or
more of the  purchasers  within two days of a notice  delivered  by a  purchaser
after the date of the  initial  closing  or at any time  thereafter  during  the
relatively  short  term 30 day  period at a higher  price than that at which the
initial Shares were sold to them under the Purchase Agreement.  That "right" was
not  represented  by  a  separate  instrument  and  was  not  subject  to  other
traditional  clauses or conditions,  such as an anti-dilution  clause, a special
reservation  or  allocation  of shares  requirement  of the Company,  a separate
Registration  Rights  Agreement  or any other  provisions  which are standard or
typical for  "options"  or "rights"  which may be deemed  securities  within the
meaning of the  Securities  Act. Nor is there any evidence that the "right" was,
or was intended to be,  transferable  in whole or in part, to any third party or
parties.  Indeed, as noted above, the "right" questioned by the Staff could have
resulted in the  consummated  purchase of the  additional  Common  Shares within
several days after the date of the initial closing Purchase  Agreement or at any
other time during the 30 day period referring thereto in the Purchase Agreement.
Had such  additional  Shares  been  purchased  by all or some of the  purchasers
within several days after the date of the Purchase Agreement, we seriously doubt
whether  the Staff of the  Commission  would have even  raised the  question  of
whether this very  short-term  "right"  constituted a "security." The short term
nature of this  "contractual  right" and the  absence of all the other  features
which  characterize  a  security  appear  to  demonstrate  that the  "right"  in
reference did not and does not constitute a security.

            (b) We acknowledge that the definition of a "security" under Section
2(a)(1) of the  Securities  Act  includes  "rights" and  "options"  but, for the
reasons  indicated in clause (a) above, we do not believe that the recitation of
those terms,  among many others,  in Section  2(a)(1) should be the  controlling
factor in their definition.  In this respect,  we respectfully  remind the Staff
that  the  introductory  clause  to  the  definitions  under  Section  2 of  the
Securities  Act  expressly  notes that  terms used in Section 2 should  have the
meanings  set forth  therein  "unless  the  context  otherwise  requires."  When
determining  the  applicability  of the phrase  "unless  the  context  otherwise
requires",  in the  introductory  clause to Section 2 of the Securities  Act, we
believe that the Federal courts,  in interpreting  the provisions of the Federal
securities  statutes,  including the  definitions  of terms used  therein,  have
consistently and repeatedly held that these provisions  should be interpreted to
serve the "remedial" purposes of these statutes.  We respectfully urge the Staff
to consider how and in what manner  determining that the "right" in reference is
a security  serves the remedial  purposes of the Securities Act where,  as here,
this rather  short term  "right" was made  available  to the same small group of
investors,  all of  whom  had  previously  purchased  securities  issued  by the
Company,  and who had just  purchased  Shares of the Company in reliance  upon a
current  prospectus  containing  considerable  disclosure  with  respect  to the
Company and the risks of an investment in its shares.
