Please provide a report of the independent registered public accounting firm that indicates the name of the firm issuing the report. Financial Statements Statements of Operations 2. It appears from your disclosure in Note 1 that you have accounted for your investment in Myriad-Tunica under the equity method of accounting. Please tell us if Myriad-Tunica had any earnings or loss during 2004 and why you have not presented your equity in earnings/loss of Myriad-Tunica as a separate line item in the statement of operations. See paragraph 19 of APB 18. 3. We note that you have reflected the reversal of previously accrued salaries as a reduction of operating expense in your consolidated statement of operations for 2004, due to previous management`s agreement to forego rights to their accrued but unpaid salaries. Note that we would expect the Company`s financial statements to reflect reasonable levels of compensation expense in relation to the nature and extent of the services provided. Furthermore, if the officers agreed to relinquish their rights to this accrued compensation, the reversal of these accruals should be reflected as a capital contribution rather than as a reduction of expense. Please revise your financial statements to reflect the reversal of these accruals as capital contributions. Statement of Stockholders Equity 4. We note that your statement of stockholders` equity includes changes from January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004.
