In some of our comments, we 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 filings.

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

Balance Sheet, page F-2

1. We note your response to our original comment number one and the Form 8-K/A filed September 12, 2005, which states that the IG Wizard, Inc. ("IGW") transaction was consummated and the closing occurred on March 17, 2005, but with an effective date of December 31, 2004. However, the disclosure goes on to state that IGW was accounted for as a subsidiary of the Registrant with discontinued operations from December 31, 2004 through the date of the closing. Further, based upon the stock purchase agreement filed as exhibit 2.2, it appears that the transaction was subject to termination through the date of closing. In light of these factors, please clarify whether IGW was in fact considered a subsidiary through the closing date of March 17, 2005. Please refer to paragraph 46 of SFAS 144 regarding the reporting of long-lived assets classified as held for sale. It is not clear to us how paragraph 141 of CON 6 supports your conclusions.

Statement of Operations, page F-3 2. We note your response to our original comment number two. As noted above, based upon the IGW stock purchase agreement filed as exhibit 2.2 to the Form 8-K/A filed September 12, 2005, it appears that the transaction was subject to termination through the date of closing. As such, it appears that the closing date represents the actual date of sale. In light of this, please tell us how you considered SFAS 144 in determining it was appropriate to recognize the gain on the sale as of December 31, 2004. Please disclose to us your calculation of the gain on the sale, including the amount of the loss of IGW that OFG Europacific Ltd. agreed to assume.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, page 14

3. We note your response to our original comment number three that you relied on SAB Topic 4D in considering all shares issued for nominal value as issued and outstanding from inception for purposes of the weighted average shares outstanding during 2003 and 2004 for purposes of the earnings (loss) per common share calculation. Topic 4D relates specifically to earnings per share computations in initial public offerings and therefore does not appear to be applicable. Please advise us of the specific facts and circumstances that you relied upon in determining that Topic 4D was applicable to both the shares issued at par value and the shares returned to the company. 4. We note your response to our original comment number four that you relied upon SAB Topic 5G in assigning a value to the dealership reseller rights received in exchange for common stock. Topic 5G addresses transfers of nonmonetary assets to a company by its shareholders in exchange for stock prior to or at the time of the company`s initial public offering. Please disclose to us the specific facts and circumstances that you relied upon in determining that Topic 5G was applicable to your acquisition of the dealership reseller rights.
