1. We have made the changes necessary to comply with SFAS 144 and deferred

Statement of operations, page F-3
---------------------------------
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 .
The Form 10-QSB as of June 30, 2005 is 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.
Form 10-QSB for Fiscal Quarter Ended June 30, 2005
Item 3- Controls and Procedures
-------------------------------
Response
--------
5. We have revised this disclosure to clarify that the certifying officer
found the disclosure of controls and procedures to be effective as of the
end of the covered period.
6. We have revised the certifications included as exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to
conform to the wording presented in Item 601(b)(31) of Regulation S-B.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.
Very truly yours,
/s/William D. O'Neal
