Dear Mr. Abdul Ladha:
We have reviewed your response letter dated May 5, 2005 and
have the following additional comments. These comments should be
addressed in all future filings with the Commission, if indicated.

FORM 10-KSB FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
Marketable Securities
1. We have read your response to Comment #1. You state, "Since
the
Company actively and frequently buys and sells marketable
securities
to realize short-term profits, the securities are classified as
trading securities." In future filings, revise your marketable
securities disclosure to include this information.
Note 7 - Discontinued Operations
2. We have read your response to Comment #4. You state "Over the
next two years, there will not be any revenue from ANO and the
Company will have no continuing involvement with it." However,
within Note 7, you state "The Company sold the exclusive right to
the
names of ANO and customer lists in consideration for payment of
the
greater of $750 per month or 3% of gross sales per month generated
from clients in the ANO client database, to a maximum of $3,000
per
month for a period of 2 years." Clarify how this statement does
not
represent continuing involvement in accordance with paragraph
42(b)
of SFAS 144.
