Dear Mr. Thibault:

We have reviewed your response letter dated October 14, 2005 and have the following comments. Where indicated, we think you should revise your filings in response to these comments. If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our comments are inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanations.

Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004

General

1. As requested in our letter dated September 26, 2005, please provide, in writing, a statement acknowledging that:

* You are responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;

* Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and

Financial Statements, page 27

General

2. We note your response to comment 1 in our letter dated September 26, 2005. Given that the form of ownership is within the control of your parent and given the change in control, we reissue our prior comment. Please revise your presentations of financial position, results of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholder`s equity to clearly present the audited financial statements of the predecessor and successor. Please also revise your financial statements presented in Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, as applicable. In addition, please revise the notes to your financial statements and other items in the filings, as appropriate.

Notes to Financial Statements, page 35

Note 3 - Restructuring, page 39

3. We note your response to comment 3 in our letter dated September 26, 2005. It does not appear that securities issued or issuable by your parent or securities that are convertible into your parent`s common stock should be included in your calculations of weighted- average shares outstanding used to compute primary and/or fully diluted earnings per share. Please refer to paragraphs 62 and 63 of FAS 128. Please revise your earnings per share computations and disclosure accordingly.

4. We note your response to comment 4 and Exhibit II provided in your response to comment 2 in our letter dated September 26, 2005. Please tell us why the restructuring resulted in adjustments to your retained earnings and paid-in-capital from warrants and the basis in GAAP for these adjustments. In doing so, please tell us:

* How you derived the total net accumulated deficit of $9,212, 941 at December 31, 2001 referred to in your response given that your statements of changes in stockholder`s equity (deficiency) reflects retained earnings of $851,387 at January 1, 2002;

* Why the total net accumulated deficit at December 31, 2001 and the 2002 preferred stock dividend prior to the restructuring were considered an effective distribution to your parent; and

* How you had classified the paid-in-capital from warrants in your balance sheet prior to their cancellation.

In addition, please provide a reconciliation of the adjustments reflected in Exhibit II to the adjustments to paid-in-capital of $15,096,365 and retained earnings of ($2,100,964) in the corporate restructuring line item in your statements of changes in stockholder`s equity (deficiency) and to the amount of the recorded effect of the restructuring disclosed in the last paragraph of Note 3 on page 39.

Further, it appears that you incurred a loss in connection with the exchange and restructuring of your debt and preferred stock obligations representing the amount of the unamortized discounts on the subordinated debt. Please tell us your basis in GAAP for not recognizing the extinguishment loss given the guidance in APB 26 and EITF 96-19 and given the fact that the parent`s Class A preferred stock reflected in your financial statements has a different basis than the subordinated notes extinguished in the exchange.

Finally, it appears that charges to paid-in-capital related to preferred stock dividends and differences between the fair value of ESOP shares committed to be released and the cost of the ESOP shares should be charged to paid-in-capital to the extent such charges do not result in a paid-in-capital deficit. Otherwise, such excess charges should be recorded to retained earnings (deficit). Please revise your financial statements accordingly. Please refer to SAB Topic 3:C and EITF Topic D-98.
