You disclose that that you granted 216,000 and 240,000 stock options to your president and two directors, respectively as compensation for their services during the year ended December 31, 2004. In this regard, revise future filings to discuss the anticipated impact of implementing SFAS 123R with respect to your liquidity, capital resources and results of operations.

Franchise Activities 3. Reference is made to the second paragraph.

See paragraph 7 of SFAS 45. We may have further comments. Note 7. Income Taxes 4. We note that you have provided a valuation allowance for the entire net deferred tax asset in 2003 and 2004.
