Dear Mr. Lovato:
We have reviewed your August 19, 2005 response letter and have the
following comments. Please file an amended Form 10-KSB and Form
SB-2
in response to our request for expanded or revised disclosure. If
you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our
comments are inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. We also
ask
you to provide us with supplemental information so we may better
understand your disclosure. Please be as detailed as necessary in
your explanation. We look forward to working with you in these
respects and welcome any questions you may have about any aspects
of
our review.

Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004
Form SB-2 Filed May 9, 2005
Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 22
We note from your response to comment 1 that you included a
disclosure of the accounting for the restricted shares in the MD&A
section of the Form SB-2. However, we do not believe that
appropriate disclosure has been made in the filing. Your previous
disclosure which was included in Note 8 to the financial
statements
as of March 31, 2005, has not been included in either the notes to
the financial statements for the quarter and six months ended June
30, 2005 or in the MD&A section of Amendment No. 4 to Form SB-2.
Please revise your filing to include disclosure of the accounting
for
the shares of restricted stock issued to both Cornell Capital and
Newbridge Securities in the first quarter of 2005 in the Notes to
the
Financial Statements and MD&A section of the Form SB-2. Your
revised
disclosure should also explain how any expense recognized was
classified in your statement of operations.
Financial Statements for the interim period ended June 30, 2005
included in Form SB-2 and Forms 10-QSB for the quarters ended
March
31, 2005 and June 30, 2005
Note 4. Liquidity
We note from your disclosure in Note 4 that you received $375,000
of
the principal amount of the $820,000 Note on April 1, 2005 and
will
receive the remaining principal balance of $445,000 two business
days
prior to a registration statement being filed with the SEC.
Please
tell us if you received the additional $445,000 cash prior to June
30, 2005, and if so, please revise your disclosure in the Notes
and
on page 23 of the MD&A section in the Form SB-2 to state when the
cash was received. If you have not yet received the $445,000
cash,
please tell us why the statement of cash flows presents the entire
amount as cash received as proceeds from the note payable.
Note 7. Subsequent Event
We note from your response to comment 2 that you revised Note 7 in
your Form 10-QSB for the period ended March 31, 2005 to include
disclosure of how the conversion terms were determined for the
conversion of the Advantage Fund One LLC note. Because this
conversion occurred during the second quarter of 2005, this
disclosure should also be included in the notes to the financial
statements for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 and the
MD&A
section of the Form SB-2. Additionally, the disclosure in Note
7
in your Form 10-QSB for the period ended March 31, 2005, which
indicates that $75,000 of the note was converted to 25,000,000
shares
of common stock, is inconsistent with the disclosure provided in
Item
2 of your Form 10-QSB for the period ended June 30, 2005, which
indicates that there were 2,600,000 shares issued at a conversion
price of $.03 per share. Please reconcile and revise these
disclosures.
Also, please tell us whether the conversion of the $75,000 of the
note into 25,000,000 common shares was accounted for as an induced
conversion pursuant to SFAS No. 84. If not, explain why.
MD&A Liquidity and Capital Resources
We note that a large amount of shares of common stock were issued
between December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2005. Please revise the
MD&A
section and notes to your financial statements for the six months
ended June 30, 2005 of the Form SB-2 to include disclosure of the
date and amount of issuances of stock during the first and second
quarters of 2005 that relate to debt conversion or other non-cash
transactions.
Item 2. Changes in Securities
We note from Item 2 in the Form 10-QSB for the period ended June
30,
2005 that there were a number of transactions involving the
issuance
of common stock in consideration for a note conversion. Please
add a
disclosure to your notes to the financial statements in both the
SB-2
and Form 10-QSB detailing the dollar amount of the notes that were
converted and the number of shares issued.
Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2004
Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies
We note your revision to the Financial Consulting Agreement
section
of Note 7 results in the omission of the dollar amount paid to the
Chairman in 2004. Please revise your filing to complete this
amount.
Note 13. Acquisition of Coreflix, page F-25
The number of shares issued to acquire Corelfix of 6,000,000
common
shares as disclosed in Note 13 does not agree to the number
reflected
in the statement of changes in shareholders` deficit under the
caption "issuance of common stock in exchange for assets" of
138,000
common shares. Please reconcile and revise these disclosures. If
the
6,000,000 shares (and related valuation per share) have not been
retroactively restated for the 40 to 1 reverse stock split, please
do
so. Refer to the guidance in SAB Topic 4:C.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
As appropriate, please respond via EDGAR to these comments within
10
business days or tell us when you will provide us with a response.
Please furnish a cover letter that keys your responses to our
comments and provides any requested supplemental information.
You may contact Claire Erlanger at 202-551-3301 or me at 202-551-
3813

Sincerely,
Linda Cvrkel
