Dear Mr. Caggiano:
We have reviewed your response letter dated October 12, 2005
and have the following additional comments. In our comments, we
ask
you to provide us with additional information so we may better
understand your disclosure. After reviewing this information, we
may
or may not 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
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 Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004
Item 8A Controls and Procedures
1. Please tell us how you complied with Item 307 and Item 308 (c)
of
Regulation S-B in your annual report.
Form 10-QSB for the Quarterly Periods Ended March 31, 2005 and
June
30, 2005
Item 3 Controls and Procedures
2. As previously requested by Louise Dorsey, by letter dated
September 14, 2005, please tell us why you did not provide the
disclosures required by Items 307 and 308 (c) of Regulation S-B.
Since the financial statements in your Forms 10-QSB were not
reviewed
when previously filed, and you did not provide the disclosures
required by Part I, Item 3 of Form 10-QSB, you should carefully
evaluate whether or not the company maintained adequate disclosure
controls and procedures. You should also tell us how you
evaluated
the adequacy of the certifications filed with your Forms 10-QSB
regarding both disclosure controls and internal controls, in light
of
the lack of a review. Please note that the company`s evaluation
of
disclosure controls and procedures should be as of the reporting
period end. Explain to us whether your disclosure controls and
procedures are effective and if applicable how you concluded they
were effective for the reasons noted above.
Please respond to the comments included in this letter
within
ten business days. If you have any questions, you may contact
Thomas
Flinn, Staff Accountant, at (202) 551-3469 or the undersigned at
(202) 551-3413 if you have questions.
Sincerely,
Cicely D. Luckey
Accounting Branch Chief
Mr. Michael N. Caggiano
Central American Equities Corp.
