Comment

1. We refer you to comment 2 of our letter dated September 2, 2005. We note disclosure in this section that states "[w]ith the exception of Cornell Capital Partners, Monitor and the other selling shareholders, which are each an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, no other underwriter or person has been engaged to facilitate the sale of shares of common stock in this offering." However, only Cornell Capital Partners is named as an underwriter in the "Plan of Distribution" section. Please advise or revise accordingly.

1. In response to your comment, we have determined that Cornell Capital Partners, Monitor and all other selling shareholders are "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act. We will change the text in the Plan of Distribution to read as follows:

"In offering the shares covered by this prospectus, Monitor Capital, Inc. and the other selling stockholders and any broker-dealers who execute sales for the selling stockholders are deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any profits realized by the selling stockholders and the compensation of any broker-dealer are deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions."

Comment

2. Consider whether risk factor disclosure is appropriate to address the ineffective [disclosure] controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting you describe in the proposed revisions to your periodic reports.

Response

2. In response to the comment we will add the following risk disclosure regarding the Company's ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and ineffective internal controls over financial reporting to the RISK FACTORS section of the amendment to the SB-2 when it is filed:

THE COMPANY'S DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND ITS INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING WERE INEFFECTIVE BECAUSE OF NOT PROPERLY ACCOUNTING FOR BENEFICIAL CONVERSION FEATURES ASSOCIATED WITH CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK SOLD IN 2004 AND 2005.

As of December 31, 2004, March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005 our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and the effectiveness of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting and concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and its internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective because the Company had not properly accounted for certain beneficial conversion features associated with its Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock issued in 2004 and 2005 and the accounting guidance provided by Emerging Issues Task Force Issue Numbers 98-5 and 00-27. Management concluded that the failure to properly account for and disclose the beneficial conversion features was a material weakness in its disclosure controls and procedures and its internal controls over financial reporting.

<PAGE>

The Company issued its Series A Preferred Stock in June 2004 and its Series B Preferred Stock in September 2004 through March 2005. In its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, and the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Company did not allocate any portion of the proceeds of these stock issuances to any beneficial conversion features of the preferred stock. After filing its annual report on Form 10-KSB and its quarterly report for the three months ended March 31, 2005 on Form 10-QSB, the Company received a comment letter from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission dated June 22, 2005 that requested, among other things, confirmation that management of the Company considered the guidance of certain accounting pronouncements in determining whether a portion of the proceeds of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock issued in June 2004 and Series B Preferred Stock issued in September 2004 through March 2005 should be allocated to the beneficial conversion feature. After receipt of the SEC's comment letter, the Company reevaluated its disclosure controls and procedures and its internal controls over financial reporting and responded to the SEC letter regarding the material weakness identified in their letter and the remedial actions planned by the Company, and the Company amended its periodic reports for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005.

      1. In response to your comment,  we have  determined  that Cornell Capital
      Partners,  Monitor and all other selling  shareholders are  "underwriters"
      within the meaning of the  Securities  Act. We will change the text in the

Comment

      2. Consider  whether risk factor  disclosure is appropriate to address the
      ineffective  [disclosure]  controls and procedures  and internal  controls
      over  financial  reporting you describe in the proposed  revisions to your
      periodic reports.

Response

      2. In response to the comment we will add the  following  risk  disclosure
      regarding the Company's ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and
      ineffective internal controls over financial reporting to the RISK FACTORS
      section of the amendment to the SB-2 when it is filed:

      THE COMPANY'S DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND ITS INTERNAL CONTROLS
      OVER  FINANCIAL   REPORTING  WERE  INEFFECTIVE  BECAUSE  OF  NOT  PROPERLY
      ACCOUNTING FOR BENEFICIAL  CONVERSION FEATURES ASSOCIATED WITH CONVERTIBLE
      PREFERRED STOCK SOLD IN 2004 AND 2005.

      As of December  31, 2004,  March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005 our  principal
      executive   officer  and  principal   financial   officer   evaluated  the
      effectiveness of the Company's  disclosure controls and procedures and the
      effectiveness of the Company's internal controls over financial  reporting
      and concluded  that the Company's  disclosure  controls and procedures and
      its internal  controls over financial  reporting were ineffective  because
      the Company had not properly accounted for certain  beneficial  conversion
      features  associated  with  its  Series A  Preferred  Stock  and  Series B
      Preferred  Stock  issued  in 2004  and 2005  and the  accounting  guidance
      provided by  Emerging  Issues  Task Force  Issue  Numbers  98-5 and 00-27.
      Management concluded that the failure to properly account for and disclose
      the  beneficial  conversion  features  was  a  material  weakness  in  its
      disclosure   controls  and  procedures  and  its  internal  controls  over
      financial reporting.

                                       2

      The  Company  issued  its  Series A  Preferred  Stock in June 2004 and its
      Series B Preferred  Stock in  September  2004 through  March 2005.  In its
      financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, and the quarter
      ended March 31,  2005,  the Company  did not  allocate  any portion of the
      proceeds of these stock issuances to any beneficial conversion features of
      the preferred stock. After filing its annual report on Form 10-KSB and its
      quarterly report for the three months ended March 31, 2005 on Form 10-QSB,
      the Company received a comment letter from the staff of the Securities and
      Exchange  Commission  dated  June 22,  2005 that  requested,  among  other
      things,  confirmation  that  management  of  the  Company  considered  the
      guidance of certain  accounting  pronouncements  in determining  whether a
      portion of the proceeds of the Company's  Series A Preferred  Stock issued
      in June 2004 and Series B Preferred Stock issued in September 2004 through
      March 2005 should be allocated to the beneficial conversion feature. After
      receipt  of  the  SEC's  comment  letter,  the  Company   reevaluated  its
      disclosure   controls  and  procedures  and  its  internal  controls  over
      financial reporting and responded to the SEC letter regarding the material
      weakness  identified in their letter and the remedial  actions  planned by
      the Company,  and the Company  amended its  periodic  reports for the year
      ended December 31, 2004 and the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and June 30,
      2005.

EXHIBIT A

Form 10-KSB/A for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004 filed on July 29, 2005

ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

      As of December 31, 2004,  our  principal  executive  officer and principal
financial  officer  evaluated  the  effectiveness  of the  Company's  disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules  13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)  under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).  This evaluation of the disclosure
controls and procedures included controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports that it files
or submits under the Act is recorded, processed,  summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the Security and Exchange  Commission's  rules and
forms. Such disclosure  controls and procedures  include controls and procedures
designed to ensure that  information  required to be disclosed by the Company in
the  reports  that  it  files  or  submits  under  the  Act is  accumulated  and
communicated to the Company's management,  including its principal executive and
principal  financial  officers,  to allow timely  decisions  regarding  required
disclosure.  Based on this evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer
and principal financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures were ineffective  because the Company had not properly  accounted
for  certain  beneficial  conversion  features  associated  with  its  Series  A
Preferred  Stock and Series B Preferred  Stock issued in 2004 and the accounting
guidance  provided by Emerging  Issues Task Force Issue  Numbers 98-5 and 00-27.
Management  concluded that the failure to properly  account for and disclose the
beneficial  conversion  features  was a  material  weakness  in  its  disclosure
controls and procedures.

      The  Company  issued  its  Series A  Preferred  Stock in June 2004 and its
Series B Preferred Stock in September 2004. In its financial  statements for the
year ended  December 31,  2004,  the Company did not allocate any portion of the
proceeds of these stock issuances to any beneficial  conversion  features of the
preferred  stock.  After filing its annual  report on Form  10-KSB,  the Company
received  a  comment  letter  from the  staff  of the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission dated June 22, 2005 that requested, among other things,  confirmation
that  management of the Company  considered  the guidance of certain  accounting
pronouncements in determining whether a portion of the proceeds of the Company's
Series A Preferred Stock issued in June 2004 and Series B Preferred Stock issued
in September 2004 should be allocated to the beneficial conversion feature.

      After receipt of the SEC's comment  letter,  the Company's Chief Executive
Officer  and  Chief  Financial  Officer  reevaluated  the  Company's  disclosure
controls  and  procedures  regarding  the  proper  accounting  treatment  of the
preferred  stock  issuances in 2004 and presented to the  Company's  independent
certified public  accountants its plan to institute  remedial actions to address
