Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004

Financial Statements

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

14. Elimination of Deficit

1. Refer to your response to comment five. You did not appear to address why the amounts included in your proposed equity statement differs from the amounts disclosed in this note. Please explain to us the reason why this is appropriate or revise the note or statement to correct the difference.

2. Refer to your response to comment eight. The operational changes cited in your response do not appear significant enough for the Company to reasonably expect profitable operations, especially in light of three consecutive quarters in which you incurred losses immediately following the reorganization. Please note that the staff has interpreted FRR 210 very restrictively to mean that an entity cannot have an operating loss immediately after the quasi- reorganization. Furthermore, it is still not clear why an expectation to more likely than not be able to realize the future tax benefits is consistent with your expectation of profitable operations. Please revise your financial statements to reverse the effects of quasi-reorganization under U.S. GAAP.

* * * * As appropriate, please amend your filings and respond to these comments within 10 business days or tell us when you will provide us with a response. You may wish to provide us with marked copies of the amendment to expedite our review. Please furnish a cover letter with your amendment that keys your responses to our comments and provides any requested supplemental information. Detailed cover letters greatly facilitate our review. Please file your cover letter on EDGAR under the form type label CORRESP. Please understand that we may have additional comments after reviewing your amendment and responses to our comments.

You may contact Keira Ino, Staff Accountant, at (202) 551- or Jim Atkinson, Accounting Branch Chief, at (202) 551-3674 if you have questions regarding comments on the financial statements and related matters. Please contact me at (202) 551-3679 with any other questions.

Sincerely,
