Item 8A Controls and Procedures, page A-6

Item 3 Controls and Procedures, page 32
2. In reference to our disclosures in Item 8A Controls and Procedures
of our Form 10-KSB/A, as filed on June 1, 2005 and our Item 3
Controls and Procedures of our Form 10-QSB, as filed on May 23,
2005, we confirm to you and to the Commission that, except as we
have described in these above referenced filings with you, that
there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter ended December 31,
2004 and our first fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005 that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.
Form 10-QSB for the Fiscal Quarter Ended March 31, 2005
Note 10 - Convertible Notes, Page 14
3. You have asked that we explain to you how we considered Issue 7 of
EITF 00-27 with regard to the beneficial conversion feature for our
$400,000 of convertible notes, which on March 31, 2005, were
converted into 4,018,375 shares of our common stock.
Background
Issue 7 of EITF 00-27 provides guidance to companies whereupon at
the commitment date, due to certain contingent terms in the
conversion option, the company would not be able to calculate the
number of shares that would be received upon the conversion. Issue 7
further provides that in the case where there is such a contingent
event, that the company would wait until that contingent event
occurs and then record an adjustment to the beneficial conversion
feature discount amount.
Our response
Based upon the facts and circumstances affecting the conversion of
our convertible notes, the number of shares that were issued upon
conversion were equal to the number of shares known to us at the
time the convertible notes were issued. As such, at March 31, 2005,
the date of conversion of such convertible notes into shares of
common stock, there is no beneficial conversion discount under Issue
7 of EITF 00-27.
