In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with

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.
We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome
any questions you may have about our comments or any other aspect

a

next
twelve months as provided in section 607.02 of the SEC
Codification
of Financial Reporting Policies (FRR-16), Uncertainty About an
Entity`s Continued Existence.
2. Please tell us, and revise your filings to disclose, your
estimate-to-completion on the construction of the plant in Lampa,
Chile, as well as how much of this amount you expect to spend over
the next 12 months. In addition, please discuss the changes in
the
construction-in-progress account from period to period and how the
agreement that was concluded with TWiC in 2004 impacts future
manufacturing of molds and the supply of services required for
construction of the Chilean plant. See Section IV. of Release No.

revise its audit opinion to include the city and state where the
audit opinion was issued as required by Rule 2.02(a) of Regulation

X.
8. Your independent accountant, Jonathon P. Reuben, CPA, is duly
registered and in good standing to practice in California.
However,
it is unclear to us whether Jonathon P. Reuben, CPA, was and is
currently licensed in Vancouver, B.C. Canada where your executive
offices are located. Please note that it is your responsibility
to
provide financial statements audited by an auditor who meets the
requirements of Rule 2-01(a) of Regulation S-X. Please tell us
how
you have met the requirements of Rule
2-01(a) of Regulation S-X. In addition, since a significant
portion
of your operations are in Chile, detail for us the audit
procedures
conducted in that country.

shareholder for 200,000 shares of common stock in June 2002. We
also
note that you sold the truss plant and timber in the same month at
a
substantial loss. Tell us the basis for the original allocation
of
the purchase price to the various assets. Considering these
substantial losses, help us better understand how you determined
that
there was no impairment of value of the $400,000 attributed to the
land.

3. It appears that a page from your consolidated statement of
stockholders` equity is missing and has been replaced with a

for
all appropriate periods.

state that management`s evaluation was as of the end of the fiscal
year as stated in Rules 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(c).

during
fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2005, please explain to us how your
"Principal
Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that
the
disclosure controls and procedures are effective" to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by you in the reports filed

and reported, within the time periods specified in the
