We see that on March 4, 2005 you signed a letter of intent to acquire all the outstanding stock of Maximum Performance Group, Inc. for up to $7.5 million in total consideration in the form of cash and common stock. Since this appears to be a significant and probable acquisition, it appears Maximum Performance Group, Inc.’s historical and related pro forma financial statements are required by rule 3-05 (a)(1)(i) and Article 11, respectively, of Regulation S-X. We note you do not appear eligible for the automatic extension discussed in Rule 3-05 (b)(4) of Regulation S-X. Please revise the Form S-3 to include all required financial statements or tell us why you believe no revisions are necessary.

At the time of the original filing of the S-3, as the letter of intent was non-binding and the acquisition was contingent upon our completion of a private placement, we did not believe this acquisition met the probability threshold. However, the acquisition has subsequently been consummated. As the purchase price exceeds 50% of our total assets, we are not eligible for the automatic extension discussed in Rule 3-05(b)(4) of Regulation S-X and the Form S-3 has been revised to incorporate the required financial statements which were filed with the SEC as an amendment to our Current Report on Form 8-K on July 15, 2005.

9.

In the penultimate paragraph on page II-2, please revise your disclosure to clarify the circumstances under which the amendment of your Certificate of Incorporation requires the affirmative vote of 75% of your Series E Convertible Preferred Stock.

We have added the requested clarification.

10.

Please revise the legal opinion to address all shares being registered pursuant to this registration statement, including shares underlying convertible debt.

The legal opinion has been revised to include shares underlying the convertible debt.

We previously responded to your questions and comments regarding our Annual Report on Form 10-K in a letter dated June 14, 2005, a copy of which is attached.

We hope that we have addressed all of your questions and comments. Please feel free to contact me or our attorney, Andy Connor, if you have any further questions or comments regarding our filings.

Sincerely,
/s/ Jeffrey Mistarz
