Dear
Mr.
Forgione:
This
will
acknowledge receipt of your letter of comment dated August 3, 2005 with regard
to the above referenced filings. Our responses reference your comment numbers
as
follows:
Comment

We
have
considered the various input methods and output methods to measure progress
on
contracts under SOP 81-1. The modular structures are not standardized,
homogenous units that are mass produced, but rather each building plan is
modified by contract per the Buyer’s specifications. We have prepared and attach
a schedule of our six (6) basic plans which include the typical modifications
and their related costs. We have also included a representative sample of the
sales prices of the 24 x 40 PC# 02-105411 model , modified by the respective
Buyers.
As
can be
noted , the model’s sales prices can vary widely, from $47,498 to $113,356 per
unit, depending upon the Buyer’s specifications. The direct costs incurred would
also vary accordingly.
Given
the
varying degree of effort that is devoted to each contracted modular structure
resulting from the Buyers’ modifications, the Company’s management has chosen an
input measuring approach (a combination of direct labor hours expended and
raw
materials used) to measure the progress of each contract.
Management
believes its experience in the industry provides it with the judgment needed
to
utilize this approach for measuring the progress on contracts.

We
have
acknowledge the disclosure of our policy of not recognizing revenues until
delivery of the modular structures had occurred in our April 30, 2004 financial
statements was inaccurate. The Company’s policy has been to capitalized the
direct costs (materials and direct labor) of its construction in progress by
adjusting inventories at each balance sheet date, as represented by
work-in-progress and finished goods, and recognizing the respective amounts
as
revenues.
As
of
April 30, 2004, the Company’s work-in-progress and finished goods inventories
represents the unbilled direct costs incurred as of April 30, 2004 of $ 402,023,
which was included in income from operations during the year ended April 30,
2004.
The
impact on the historical financial statements would be the reclassification
of
the amounts representing work-in-progress and finished goods inventories to
a
separate current asset account, costs
in
excess of billings on contracts of $402,023.
There would be no impact on the statement of operations.
In
connection with the preparation of our April 30, 2005 financial statements,
we
will revise our disclosures as described in our letter of August 2, 2005,
including separately disclosing costs incurred in excess of
billings.
