Registration Statement on Form SB-2 File No.: 333-122694 Filed: May 12, 2005 Dear Mr. Wyman: We have reviewed your filings and have the following comments. 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 supplemental 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 SB-2 FILED FEBRUARY 10, 2005 The Offering, page 3 1. We note your response to comment 4 of our March 8, 2005 letter. However, when referring to the proceeds from the Equity Distribution Agreement, please refer to the net amount. Risk Factors, page 6 2. We note your response to comment 7 of our March 18, 2005 letter that you "have added the disclosure as requested." However, there has been no change to Cornell Capital Partners Will Pay Less Than The Then-Prevailing Market Price Of Our Common Stock Under The Equity Distribution Agreement. 3. We have reviewed your response to comment 11. Some of the balances have changed on your September 30, 2004 balance sheet and therefore, your working capital deficit is no longer $7,351,007. Please ensure that your disclosure agrees to the amounts that you present in your balance sheet. In addition, you disclose that your working capital deficit for the year ended September 30, 2004 is $7,351,007 and $7,470,070 in the same sentence. Please revise so both amounts agree to each other. 4. We remind you that working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities. Your calculation of working capital deficit for the three months ended December 31, 2004 is taking into account total assets instead of current assets. Please revise. Forward-Looking Statements, page 11 5. We reissue comment 12 of our March 8, 2005 letter. In this regard, we note your supplemental response that you have revised our disclosure as requested yet the word "will" remains.

In this regard, we note your supplemental response that you have revised our disclosure as requested yet the words "assumed offering price" remain in the table.

Please advise us on the basis for your conclusion that Cornell is not requiring the pre-closing share credit. Plan of Distribution, page 19 9. Your statements in the last two sentences of the first paragraph at the top of page 19 are inconsistent. Please clearly state Cornell`s intentions regarding short selling. Management`s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, page 20 10. We have reviewed your response to comment 28. We continue to believe that you should discuss in greater detail the business reasons for the changes between periods in revenue share sales, cost of goods sold - revenue share sales, and general and administrative expenses.

In circumstances where there is more than one business reason for the change, attempt to quantify the incremental impact of each individual business reason discussed on the overall change in the line item.
