General

1. We note that the certifications filed as Exhibit 31 to your Form 10-KSB are not in the proper form. The required certifications must be in the exact form prescribed; the wording of the required certifications may not be changed in any respect. Certain portions of the certifications relating to internal control over financial reporting may be omitted as stated in Section III.E of SEC Release No. 33-8238. Accordingly, please file an amendment to your Form 10- KSB that includes the entire filing together with the certification of your current CEO and CFO in the form currently set forth in Item 601(b)(31) of Regulation S-B.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, page 18

2. Please revise the audit report to include the signature of the registered public accounting firm and the correct date. Note that the current report date precedes the date of the audited financial statements. See Article 2-02 of Regulation S-X for reference.

3. Please also revise the last paragraph of the audit report to include the term "substantial doubt" as required by AU 341.12.

Consolidated Statements of Operations, page 21

4. We note that you sold your commercial rental property on July 31, 2003. Please tell us why you have not presented the related revenues, expenses, and gain from the sale of this property as discontinued operations in accordance with paragraph 43 of SFAS 144, or revise as necessary.

5. We note that you have properly included the intercompany elimination entry disclosed in Note 11, page 38, in your 2004 income statement, but not in the 2003 statement; thus, your 2003 revenue and administrative expenses are overstated and not comparable to 2004. Please restate your 2003 income statement to include the intercompany elimination of $90,000. Additionally, please update your Management`s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation accordingly.

6. Please tell us how you earned other income of $55,323 in 2003, and please discuss this income in the results of operations section of your revised MD&A.

7. It is not appropriate to present diluted loss per share when a loss from continuing operations exists, because this results in an antidilution to the calculated EPS amount. Refer to paragraph 16 of SFAS 128 and revise your Statements of Operations and Footnote 5 as necessary.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, page 24

8. We note that you have presented the cash flows used for purchases of trading securities as cash flows used in investing activities; however, these cash flows should be presented as operating cash flows.

Item 8a - Controls and Procedures, page 41

11. We note that you have determined that your controls and procedures are effective. Given the fact that there were errors in your financial statements for certain periods presented, it appears that significant deficiencies or material weaknesses may have existed in your internal control over financial reporting. Please revise to discuss these deficiencies in your conclusion regarding the effectiveness of your disclosure controls and procedures, or advise us why a revision is unnecessary.
