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.

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. <PAGE>

      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.
