Dear Ms. Crittendon:

In response to your letter dated September 7, 2005, National Parking Systems, Inc. (the "Company") has the following responses:

FORM 10-KSB ------------

ITEM 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, PAGES 3 - 10 -------------------------------------------------------

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, PAGES 3-5 ----------------------------------

1) The $200,000 in notes payable was with the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Cascade Mountain Mining Corp. ("Cascade") and was assigned to Cascade and Cascade's Chief Executive Officer (who is also the Company's former Chief Executive Officer) pursuant to a General Release and Settlement Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.14 to the Company's 10-KSB. Cascade was spun off prior to the Stock Exchange Agreement with BH Holding Company, Inc. and ABS Holding Company, Inc. Therefore, the Company believes it had no responsibility for such debt. Please refer to "Note H Commitments and Contingencies-Other" of the Company's audited 10-KSB financials and "Note D Commitments and Contingencies" of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.

With respect to the $201,930 of shareholder loans, such loans were released by the shareholders pursuant to the General Release and Settlement Agreement

<PAGE>

prior to the Stock Exchange Agreement. Accordingly, such debt which was forgiven was taken into income prior to the Stock Exchange Agreement and change of control.

ITEM 6 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMPARISON OF OPERATING REVENUE, PAGES 13-14 -------------------------------------------------

FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2003, PAGE 13 ---------------

2) By "changes in the Company's accounting practice" the Company meant only that it had put stricter controls and procedures in place with respect to the money which its employees received. There was no actual change in the Company's "accounting practices" which would require GAAP support or otherwise. The Company plans to file an amended 10-KSB which will revise and clarify the Company's statement regarding "changes in [its] accounting practices" subsequent to the filing of this response letter.

ITEM 7-FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -----------------------------

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT, PAGE F-5 ----------------------------------------------------------------

3) National Parking Systems, Inc. is the private operating company. The Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Deficit on page F-5 of the Company's audited financial statements shows the historical deficit of the private operating company, which is $66,812. This deficit includes $1,559 of deficit from the public company which could not be capitalized and which was deemed not to be significant.

NOTE A-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, PAGES F-6 TO F-8 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

GENERAL -------

4) The Company recognizes revenue for the valet and parking establishments when the service is performed. Cash is collected immediately and deposited in the bank the next day with proper reconciliation and accountability. In connection with the booting services, revenue is recognized when the service is performed.

REVERSE MERGER, PAGE F-6 ---------------------------

5) The Company believes that both ABS Holding Company, Inc. and BH Holding Company, Inc. were under common control at the time of their acquisition, as each was controlled by Marc Ebersole, who also serves as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and consequently, they were treated as the Accounting Acquirers within the reverse acquisition.

NOTE C-COVENANT -NOT -TO COMPETE, PAGE F-9 ------------------------------------------------

<PAGE>

6) There were no cash payments recorded for the Intangible Assets-Covenant not to compete. The Covenant was offset by notes payable.

ITEMS 8A - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES, PAGE 20 --------------------------------------------------

7) The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer did conclude that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective, and the Company plans to revise Item 8A in its amended Report on Form 10-KSB filing to be made subsequent to the filing of this response letter to clarify that its controls and procedures were effective.

ITEM 3 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES -------------------------------------

9) The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2005, and it was incorrectly stated in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the period ended June 30, 2005, that he concluded that such controls and procedures were ineffective. The Company plans to revise Item 3 in an amended Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, which the Company plans to file subsequent to the filing of this response letter, to state that its controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2005.
