Re: Form 8-K Filed August 30, 2004

Dear Mr. Bruk:

We have reviewed your filings and have the following comments. Where indicated, we think you should revise your documents in response to these comments. If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with supplemental information so we may better understand your disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may or may not raise additional comments.

Please understand that the purpose of our review process is to assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing. We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome any questions you may have about our comments or on any other aspect of our review. Feel free to call me at the telephone number listed at the end of this letter.

1. Item 304(a)(1)(ii) of Regulation S-B requires a statement whether the accountants` report on the financial statements for either of the past two years contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles; and a description of the nature of each such adverse opinion, disclaimer of opinion, modification or qualification. This would include disclosure of uncertainty regarding the ability to continue as a going concern as referenced in the accountant`s report for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000.

2. We note that subsequent to filing the Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2002 on May 14, 2002, you did not comply with your periodic reporting requirements until August 2004. Please supplementally advise us why you were not in compliance with your reporting requirements for the period from May 2002 through August 2004. In addition, tell us how you were able to provide true and accurate Item 8A and Item 3 disclosures regarding Controls and Procedures in your Forms 10-KSB and 10-QSB respectively as filed on August 27, 2004. Inability to comply with your reporting requirements may indicate you lack the necessary disclosure controls and procedures as well as internal controls. Tell us what changes you have made or procedures implemented to correct these deficiencies.

3. To the extent that you make changes to the Form 8-K to comply with our comments, please obtain and file an updated Exhibit 16 letter from the former accountants stating whether the accountant agrees with the statements made in your revised Form 8-K.

We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure in the filings reviewed by the staff to be certain that they have provided all information investors require. Since the company and its management are in possession of all facts relating to a company`s disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they have made.

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 in the filings reviewed by the staff do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and * 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.

In addition, please be advised that the Division of Enforcement has access to all information you provide to the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance in our review of your filing or in response to our comments on your filing.

Please provide the supplemental information requested above within 10 business days from the date of this letter. The supplemental information should be filed as correspondence on EDGAR. The amendment requested above should be filed as promptly as possible and should be reviewed by the newly engaged accountants before filing with the Commission.

You may reach me at (202) 942-1975 with any questions.

Sincerely,
Cicely D. Luckey
Senior Staff Accountant
