Dear Mr. Hedge:
We have reviewed your filing and have the following comments. We have
limited our review to only financial statements and related disclosures and do not intend
to expand our review to othe r portions of your document. Where indicated, we think you

be as detailed as necessary in your explanat ion. In some of our comments, we may ask
you to provide us with information so we may better understand your disclosure. After

1. We note from your disclosure that you have eliminated the $5,712,159
accumulated deficit amount associated with “Miller’s accumulate d deficit at the
time of merger.” As the acquisition of Miller by DMI is a reverse acquisition that has been accounted by you as a recapita lization, the accumulate d deficit of the
accounting acquirer ( i.e. Mill er) should be carried forw ard after the acquisition.
As such, please revise your financial stat ements to properly carry forward Miller’s
accumulated deficit at the time of merger.
Note 1. Description of Busine ss and Acquisitions, page F-7
2. With respect to your acquisition of Da trek Professional Bags, Inc., up to
$1,000,000 of additional consideration is paya ble contingent on sales of golf bags
to Wilson Sporting Goods Co. and other golf bag customers of the acquiree. You
plan to record this additional consider ation as goodwill. Because the additional
consideration is contingent on sales to cu stomers of the acquiree, we believe the
cost is directly related to acquired cust omer relationships and should be recorded
as additional customer-related intangibles, subject to amortization, rather than as
goodwill. Please confirm your agreement with this accounting treatment and
revise your financial statements accordingly.

Note 5. Goodwill
3. We note from your filing that you had si gnificant net losses and negative cash
flows from operations for the past two consecutive fiscal years ending December
31, 2004 and 2003 and quarterly periods ending April 2, 2005 and July 2, 2005, an accumulated deficit of $3,605,097 as of December 31, 2004, and a full valuation allowance on deferred tax asse ts. Additionally, we note from your
disclosure on page F-18 that FCC (your bank) has required you to maintain a
lock-box arrangement, whereby all of your cu stomer collections are deposited in a
lock-box controlled by FCC and therefore such working capital funds are used to
repay outstanding banking obligations. In consideration of the above factors,
please advise us of the date of your long- lived asset impairment analysis for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. Also provide us with a summary of the
methodology and significant assumptions a nd estimates you considered in this

impairment analysis on an individual asset group basis, and further explain to us
why you concluded that no impairment of your long-lived asset to be held and
used was necessary for the periods presente d in the filing. In addition, explain the
lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash
flows of other assets and liabilities in assessing your impairment. See SFAS No.
144 for guidance.
4. Please revise your disclosure on page F-16 to describe how you assess goodwill
for impairment on a “reporting unit” basi s pursuant to para graphs 19 through 21
of SFAS No. 142. In this regard, clearl y explain how you evaluate impairment
and how you define your reporting units, supported with factors cited in
paragraphs 30 and 31 of SFAS No. 142.
