Form 8-K filed June 28, 2005

1. Amend the report to include all of the information required by Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K regarding whether any audit or similar committee of the board of directors discussed the internal control deficiencies with the former accountants.

2. Provide us with any letter or written communication to and from the former accountants regarding any disagreements or reportable events to management or the Audit Committee.

3. Please provide us with a schedule of your fiscal year end fourth quarter adjustments to close the books, or adjustments recorded in connection with or as a result of the audit. Clearly explain the reason for each adjustment. For each adjustment, show us the impact on pre-tax net loss. Quantify the net effect of all adjustments on pre-tax net income (loss). Also, tell us why none of the adjustments relate to prior period. Explain in detail why you believe the timing of each adjustment is appropriate.

4. When you engage a new accountant, please report the engagement in a new Form 8-K and comply with the requirements of Regulation S-K Item 304 (a)(2). In making any disclosures about consultations with your new accountants, please ensure you disclose any consultations up through the date of engagement.

We note that Deloitte & Touche declined to stand for reelection as your accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2005, but will complete the audit for the year ended December 31, 2004 and possibly review your quarterly reports for March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005. Once Deloitte & Touche has completed their services as your principal accountant, you will need to file an amendment to this Form 8-K disclosing the date that Deloitte & Touche effectively ceased to be your principal accountant. You must also update the disclosures in the filing to reflect the effective date of completed services and file a new Exhibit 16 letter. Please revise when appropriate.

We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure in the filing reviewed by the staff to be certain that they have provided all information investors require for an informed investment decision. Since the company and its management are in possession of all facts relating to a company`s disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they have made.

In connection with responding to our comments, please provide, in writing, a statement from the company acknowledging that:

* the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;

* staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and

In addition, please be advised that the Division of Enforcement has access to all information you provide to the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance in our review of your filing or in response to our comments on your filing.
