Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Company is in receipt of the Staff's letter of comment dated July
28, 2005 on the above-captioned filings. In response to such comments, we would
like to provide you with the following information:
Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 2004
-------------------------------------------------
Consolidated Financial Statements
---------------------------------
Note 10-Acquisitions, page 28
-----------------------------
1. The value of Research and development costs acquired from DevElements
or Iplicity, as discussed in regards to SFAS 2 paragraph 11(a) and
11(c), showed that the software code acquired had no alternative future
uses and therefore no separate economic value.
2. With respect to the acquisition of DevElements, the acquisition was an
asset purchase which included one discernable software platform
resulting in the capitalization of software intangibles in the amount
of $65,500. Upon reviewing the acquisition of Iplicity, there were no
assignable software assets. Therefore, no additional capitalization was
possible. The primary value from both companies relates to the value of
an assembled work force and ongoing revenue flow from customer
relationships and the inherent goodwill of past successes. Paragraph 39
of SFAS 141 states, "an assembled workforce shall not be recognized as
an intangible asset apart from goodwill".

Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 3 - Stockholders' Equity, page 7
-------------------------------------
We used the Black Scholes model to calculate the value of the detachable stock
warrants issued in conjunction with the preferred stock issue in the last
quarter. The value was considered insignificant and therefore no dividend was
recorded. We discussed recording this nominal value in the present quarter.
There is however a "Beneficial Conversion Feature" which will require the
restatement of the March 31, 2005 10-QSB. This was already disclosed in the SB-2
filing and will result in a constructive dividend in the amount of $1,000,000
which is the difference between the share price of the converted preferred to
common and the market price of the common stock at the date of the transaction.
Accordingly, earnings per share will be restated from (.06) dollars per share to
(.24) dollars per share.
In connection with our responses, we acknowledge that:
o the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the
disclosure in the filings;
o Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments
do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to
the filings; and
o 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.
If you have any additional comments, we will happily respond to them.
Feel free to call us at any time.
Sincerely,
/s/ John R. Signorello
John R. Signorello
Chairman and CEO
