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. See Item 303 of Regulation S-B and Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 11:M.

Financial Statements

Statements of Income

2. We note that you have presented "income from sale of assets" as a component of other income. In future filings, please present the gain from sale of assets as a component of income(loss) from operations. See paragraph 45 of SFAS No. 144.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 3. Franchise Activities

3. Reference is made to the second paragraph. Supplementally tell us, with a view toward expanded disclosure, whether the deferred portion of the initial franchise fee covers the estimated cost of providing continuing services in excess of continuing franchise fees plus a reasonable profit on those continuing services.

4. We note that you have provided a valuation allowance for the entire net deferred tax asset in 2003 and 2004.

As part of your response, please tell us the available evidence supporting your conclusion that it is more likely than not that your deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Supplementally tell us, with a view toward expanded disclosure, the consideration you received in exchange for your agreement not to receive monthly franchise fees from the two restaurants in which one of your directors is the franchisee. Also, tell us how you have accounted for this transaction and the literature that supports your accounting treatment. In addition, since you will not collect continuing franchise fees to cover the estimated cost of the continuing services to be provided plus a reasonable profit on those continuing services, supplementally tell us whether you have deferred a portion of the initial franchise fees. If have not deferred portion of the initial franchise fees, please explain why. See paragraph 7 of SFAS 45. We may have further comments.

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 do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and
