We have reviewed your filing and have the following comments. Where indicated, we think you should revise your document in response to these comments.

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.

PCAOB

1. We note you have engaged the accounting firm of PMB Company LLP to audit your year ended December 31, 2004 financial statements. We also note that the firm of PMB Company LLP has not applied for registration with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). Section 102 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 makes it unlawful after October 22, 2003 for any person that is not a registered public accounting firm (i.e. registered with the PCAOB) to prepare or issue, or to participate in the preparation or issuance of, any audit report (or review report) with respect to any issuer. You must engage a new accountant that is a publicly registered accounting firm to perform review or audit work for the company. Please tell us if and when PMB plans to register with the PCAOB. Otherwise, you need to engage an accountant registered with the PCAOB. Provide all of the disclosures required by Item 304 of Regulation S-K regarding the period of engagement of PMB Company LLP which should include an Exhibit 16 letter from PMB Company, if you engage a new accountant.

Engagement of new accountant

2. If you engage a new accountant, please report the engagement in a new Form 8-K and comply with the requirements of Regulation S-K Item 304 (a)(2). In making any disclosures about consultations with your new accountants, please ensure you disclose any consultations up through the date of engagement.

Other

3. Amend Item 4 to indicate that there where no disagreements with your former accountants from the date of the last audited financial statements through the date of resignation. See Item 304 (a) (1) (IV) of Regulation S-K. Include a letter from the former accountants addressing the revised disclosures in the amendment.

4. We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure in the filings reviewed by the staff to be certain that they have provided all information investors require. Since the company and its management are in possession of all facts relating to a company`s disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they have made.

In connection with responding to our comments, please provide, in writing, a statement from the company acknowledging that

* the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filings; * staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments in the filings reviewed by the staff do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and * the company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

In addition, please be advised that the Division of Enforcement has access to all information you provide to the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance in our review of your filing or in response to our comments on your filing.
