Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-2 filed
June
20, 2005
File No. 333-123864
Dear Mr. Bienvenu:
We have reviewed your filings and have the following
comments.
General
1. We note your disclosure in your Form 8-K filed June 17, 2005
and
on page 25 disclosing the entering into on June 13, 2005 of a
stock
purchase agreement to purchase all of the stock of Kenosia
Corporation from Bristol Technology. We further note your
subsequent
disclosure in your Form 8-K filed July 11, 2005 disclosing the
closing of the transaction. Please advise us whether you are
required to file financial statements and pro forma financial
information for Kenosia under Item 9.01 of Form 8-K. Please see
the
Instruction to Item 9.01 of Form 8-K and Interpretation S.21 of
our
July 1997 Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations
for
additional guidance. Please further note that unless Rule 3-
05(b)(4)
of Regulation S-X is available your registration statement will
not
be declared effective until the financial information required by
Rule 3-05 is provided.
2. It does not appear that the membership interest purchase
agreement
dated September 2, 2004 providing for the purchase of Gupta which
was
assigned by ISIS to you by that certain purchase agreement
assignment
and assumption dated October 13, 2004 has ever been filed as an
exhibit. Please provide us with your analysis as to why you did
not
consider it necessary to file the purchase agreement.
3. Please advise us of your analysis with respect to whether a
risk
factor regarding the demand for arbitration by Mr. Liss for
compensation and damages of about $187,000 related to his
termination
is warranted.

4. With respect to your revised disclosure regarding ISIS and
Messrs.
Bienvenu and Mysogland roles as managing members, please discuss
their equity interests in ISIS as well as their resulting
interests
in IAP. In addition, please elaborate on any payments in 2004
that
have been made to ISIS in connection with their consulting
agreement
with you.

5. We note that you have included additional selling
securityholders
in your registration statement. Please disclose the natural
persons
who exercise the voting and/or dispositive powers with respect to
the
securities to be offered for resale by your selling

that are non-reporting entities. We note that certain selling
securityholders, such as Andrew Cohen Profit Sharing Plan and
Pogue
Capital International, do not have such required disclosure.

6. Please disclose whether any selling securityholder is a
registered

Provide a description of the investment-banking services and the
manner in which the compensation for the services was computed, as
applicable.

Also
indicate whether at the time of the acquisition such selling
securityholder had any agreements, understandings or arrangements
with any other persons, either directly or indirectly, to dispose
of
the securities.
