If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may 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.

Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter.

Form 10-KSB for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004

Exhibits, page 26

Please amend your filing to include the consent as exhibit 23. Refer to Item 601(b)(23) of Regulation S-B. Consolidated Statements of Stockholders` Deficit, page F-5

2. We note that in 2003, you received services with a fair value of $45,000 from an officer of the Company.

Provide any information or documents that support your valuation.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow, page F-6

3. We note your presentation of non-cash investing and financing activities includes your transfer of $27,377 of inventory to equipment in 2004. It appears that you did not adjust your cash paid for purchases of property and equipment of $78,166 and change in inventory of $6,297 for this $27,377 non-cash transfer. Please restate your consolidated statement of cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2004 to include $27,377 as additional cash paid for inventory in your operating cash flows and to exclude the same amount from cash paid for purchases of property and equipment in your investing cash flows.

4. We note your presentation of the $69,500 increase in deposits as an operating cash outflow. We further note, per review of your Form 10-Q filed on May 14, 2005 for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2005, that you transferred $64,500 of this deposit to property, plant and equipment in the first quarter of 2005. Paragraph 17(c) of SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows, states, "Cash outflows for investing activities are payments at the time of purchase or soon before or after purchase to acquire property, plant, and equipment and other productive assets." Please explain the basis for your presentation of the $69,500 as an operating cash outflow in the context of SFAS No. 95.

5. We note your disclosure in Note 8 to the December 31, 2004 financial statements indicated that you had entered into an agreement with a consultant related to promoting the Company in March 2005.
