Dear Mr. Houston:

We have reviewed your filings and have the following comments. We have limited our review to only your financial statements and related disclosures and do not intend to expand our review to other portions of your documents. Where indicated, we think you should revise your document 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 filing. We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome any questions you may have about our comments or on any other aspects of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter.

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

Item 8A. Controls and Procedures, page 21

1. We note your disclosure that your Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that "as of the Evaluation Date, the Company`s disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries would be made known to them by individuals within those entities, particularly during the period in which this annual report was being prepared." The language that is currently included after the word "effective" in your disclosure does not appear to be consistent with the meaning of disclosure controls and procedures as established by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. As such, it does not appear that your certifying officers have reached a conclusion that your disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Please revise to address your officers` conclusions regarding the effectiveness of your disclosure controls and procedures. In addition, please note that if you wish to include the definition of disclosure controls and procedures following your conclusion, please ensure the definition is consistent with the definition included in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act.

2. We note your disclosure that there were "no significant changes in the Company`s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the Company`s disclosure controls and procedures subsequent to the Evaluation Date." To the extent that your disclosure was provided to address Item 308(c) of Regulation S-B which requires disclosure of any change that occurred during the quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, your internal control over financial reporting, please note that the need for disclosure is not limited to significant changes that could affect your internal control over financial reporting subsequent to the date of your evaluation. Please correct the disclosure in future filings to address all changes or advise us.

Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2

8. We note that the certifications filed as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 were not in the proper form.

Please understand that we may have additional comments after reviewing your responses to our comments.

We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure in the filing to be certain that the filing includes all information required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and 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 * the company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. 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.
