Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities, page 7
-----------------------------------------------
3. We note your disclosure of recent sales of unregistered securities. Please
furnish the complete disclosure required by Item 701 of Regulation S-B. In
this regard, please indicate the section of the Securities Act or the rule
of the Commission under which exemption from registration was claimed and
state briefly the facts relied upon to make the exemption available.
Please provide us with your legal analysis as to why these issuances of
securities should not be integrated and should not have been registered
under the Securities Act.
Response
--------
We have revised our disclosure to include all information required by Item
701 of Regulation S-B. We believe that the issuances of unregistered
securities should not be integrated and did not need to be registered
under the Securities Act of 1933. The reasons we believe there The
issuance of shares were to a limited number of accredited investors who
all had an ongoing relationship with us. The number of shares issued
represented less than 10% of our total issued and outstanding shares of
common stock. In addition, we directly discussed the issuance of the
shares with the receipient, and there were no mechanisms of a public
offering. In addition, applying the factors from the five-part test set
forth in Securities Act Release 33-4552 (November 6, 1962), we do not
believe there is a basis for integration. Looking at the two most
important factors, as set forth in Sonnenblick, Parker & Selvers, the
financings did not consitute a single plan of financing and the offerings
were not for the same general purpose. Even if the offerings were to be
integrated, which we do not believe they should, the integrated offering
would be exempt from registration pursuant to exemptions provided by
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D.

4. We note that you disclose that you do not have a sufficient number of
authorized shares available to issue to convertible debt holders if they
all converted their shares to common stock. Please provide greater
disclosure as to how this miscalculation occurred and the steps necessary
to authorize additional shares.
Response
--------
We have expanded our disclosure under liquidity and capital resources, in
the management's discussion and analysis or plan or operations section to
discuss why we do not have enough authorized but unissued shares of common
stock to be issued upon conversion of the convertible debt. We have
further disclosed the steps necessary to authorized additional shares of
common stock.
5. Please revise the disclosure of your sales of unregistered securities in
this section to ensure that it is internally consistent and consistent
with the disclosure under Liquidity and Capital Resources. You also should
include the issuances of convertible notes in this disclosure.
Response
--------
We did not issue any convertible notes during the three months ended
February 28, 2005, therefore, we do not provide any disclosure under
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities. In addition, we have reviewed our
disclosures under Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities and Liquidity
and Capital Resources and do not believe that the disclosure is
inconsistent. If the Staff has any particular disclosures it would like us
to clarify, we would be happy to do so.

8. Please include in your disclosure the impact on liquidity of the terms of
your Securities Purchase Agreement with AJW Offshore Ltd., AJW Qualified
Partners, LLC, JW Partners, LLC and Millennium Capital Partners II, LLC.
Please add disclosure that addresses the possibility that the number of
shares you issue in connection with a draw down under the Securities
Purchase Agreement will be based upon a discount to the then prevailing
market price and, as a result, the lower the stock price at the time of
the draw down, the more common shares the stockholder will receive. To the
extent that these investors receive and then sell their common stock, the
common stock price may decrease due to the additional shares is the
market. This could allow these investors to receive even greater amounts
of common stock, the sales of which would further depress the stock price.
