The following are responses to your letter of September 16, 2005 which are being
rendered in advance of the amendments you requested. We have complied with the
matters in the first two items, however, we trust that our explanations for the
last two items will be helpful in supporting the basis for the presentations
originally including in the previous filings by us, and that you would concur
with our position on them.

Response
--------
1. We have made the changes necessary to comply with SFAS 144 and deferred the
gain on the disposition of the subsidiary until the date of closing in March
2005.

Response
--------
2. As a result of complying with the above item, the gain has been eliminated as
of December 31, 2004 and reported in the Form 10-QSB as of March 31, 2005. The
subsequent events footnote to the financial statements included in Form 10-KSB
now contains the disclosure and details of the net liabilities assumed by OFG,
which is the basis for the gain, now deferred.

Response

3.FASF 128, paragraph 54 states that nominal issuances are recapitalizations in
substance and should be reflected in a manner similar to a stock split or stock
dividend for which retroactive treatment is required in computing EPS. In the
SEC disclosures checklists published in 2004 by Miller, SAB Topic 4D is
discussed at 31.12 and it references not only that nominal issuances apply to
registration statements but to subsequent filings with the SEC. We regard par
value as a nominal value for which all shares were issued.
Response
--------
4. In connection with the consideration received by the Company for 10 million
shares, the Company's stock did not have any trading history nor did the
reseller agreement exchanged for the issuance of that stock have any previous
history of value. It was created by OFG and CCWW to enable MDS the opportunity
of selling dealership licenses in certain countries. No consideration was paid
to CCWW to acquire the agreement. Accordingly, the basis for the $10,000 value
of the agreement was the cost of creating it of approximately $10,000 which OFG
paid in connection with legal fees and costs including travel to Canada. We
regard the historical cost of creating the agreement to be the only measurement
of value in the circumstances, and that is why it was used. There was no market
for this asset previously, and the subsequent losses of the Company have
supported the fact that there was little value to it.
APB 29 paragraph 4b. states that its opinion does not apply to "a transfer of
nonmonetary assets solely between companies or persons under common control,
such as between a parent company and it subsidiary or between two subsidiary
corporations of the same parent, or between a corporate joint venture and its
owners". Therefore the criteria of that opinion which includes objective values
for an asset acquired or stock issued are not applicable. Only the transferee's
historical cost basis of the asset acquired by the Company seemed to be the best
measurement of value to be assigned to the asset acquired and the SEC's Topic 5G
supports this, albeit no IPO was involved, but there was a registration
statement filed which subsequently became effective .
We have attached the restated financial statements, footnotes and the opinion as
of December 31, 2004 and the restated financials and footnotes to be included in
an amended Form 10-QSB as of March 31, 2005 as reference to the above inquiries
and responses, and would greatly appreciated your expedited remarks to all of
the above items so that MDS and we can avoid further amendments after the ones
to be made.
The Form 10-QSB as of June 30, 2005 will also be amended to include in the
current year, the year to date amended presentations necessary to report the
gain which is now being reported during the first quarter of 2005.
Sincerely,
/s/ Ivan Braverman
