Dear Mr. Atherly:
We have reviewed your filings and have the following
comments.
We have limited our review to matters related to the issues raised
in
our comments. Where indicated, we think you should revise your
documents in response to these comments. If you disagree, we will
consider your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or
a
revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in
your
explanation. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide
us
with information so we may better understand your disclosure.
After
reviewing this information, we may raise additional comments.
Please understand that the purpose of our review process is
to
assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure
requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your
filings.
We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome
any questions you may have about our comments or any other aspect
of
our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed
at
the end of this letter.
Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004 and Amended Forms
10-QSB for the Quarterly Periods Ended March 31, June 30, and
September 30, 2004
1. In light of the fact you indicate you corrected accounting
errors
in your interim 2004 financial statements in connection with
warrant
and convertible debt transactions, it is unclear to us how your
officers concluded that the company`s disclosure controls and
procedures were effective at the end of each period covered by the
report. Please disclose in reasonable detail the basis for
officers` conclusions that the company`s disclosure controls and
procedures were nonetheless effective as of the end of each
period.
We may have further comments after reviewing your response.
Revise
your filings as necessary based on our comment.
Amended Forms 10-QSB for the Quarterly Periods Ended March 31,
June
30, and September 30, 2004
Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements
2. Please revise to include a header that indicates your financial
statements have been restated. Also, label any notes that have
been
restated.
Note 1 - Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
3. Your quarterly restatement footnotes do not provide investors
with
a clear path between the originally filed and restated financial
statement amounts. Please revise this note in each of your 2004
Form
10-QSB`s to disclose the specific nature of the errors and the
effect
of the corrections on net income or loss and the related per share
amounts. For reference see paragraph 37 of APB 20.
4. We see you indicate in your third and fourth quarter of 2004
you
incorrectly accounted for the re-pricing of certain warrants that
were originally issued in an equity transaction. We also see in
the
first quarter of 2004 you indicate you incorrectly accounted for
the
conversion of debt to equity. Please tell us why the revised
accounting you indicate you have applied to the warrant re-
pricings
and debt conversions is correct and compliant with generally
accepted
accounting principles. Provide us with the original and revised
accounting entries for each of the transactions. Also, please
reference the specific generally accepted accounting principles
that
supports your conclusions. Finally, clarify why the debt
conversion
errors only impacted 2004 quarters and not previous quarters or
years. We may have further comments after reviewing your
response.
Revise your filings as necessary based on our comment.
