Dear Mr. Lee:

Re: NSM Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”)

2st Amendment to Form SB-2 - Registration Statement

File No. 333-120993

Filed: December 3, 2004

Further to your comment letter dated March 1, 2005, enclosed for filing are copies each of the following documents:

1.

Form SB-2/A - 2nd Amendment (in triplicate);

2.

blacklined Form SB-2/A (in triplicate); and

3.

this comment letter (in duplicate).

Also, I confirm that I have filed these documents via EDGAR.

General

1.

The amended Form SB-2/A filed with this letter has been amended as per the comments provided in your March 1, 2005 letter. The following are the responses to those comments. For convenience, the number of each response refers to the number of the comment in your letter.

2.

In February 2005 the Company was relocating the Website to a different host. As a result, the migration forced the Website to go down for a period of time. The Website is currently up and is fully functional.

The reference to Pool.com has been removed from the Website. The reason it appeared on the Website was because the domain registrar was changed to Pool.com. While a website is down the domain registrar places an “under construction” or currently acquired by Pool.com under the URL.

3.

The Website is now fully functional. See Response #2 above.

4.

No, the Company does not intend to keep the prospectus current for the benefit of the selling shareholders after the expiration of the primary offering. However, the Company will keep the prospectus current for the benefit of the selling shareholders during any extensions of the primary offering.

5.

The Company will not use any graphics in the printed prospectus.

Northernstarmall.com Website

42.

For any early stage company it would be financially impossible to provide brick and mortar locations to all customers in all regions. Due to the specialty products that the Company provides and the diverse locations that such hobbyists live, very few cities would have enough customers to warrant a retail location. Following the Amazon.com centralized distribution model, the Company warehouses the items in one location and ships its products from there.

Financial Statements

Statement of Cash Flow

58.

The Company conducts its business primarily in US dollars. The Company’s main bank account is held in US currency. The Company has a Canadian dollar bank account, however, the balance of funds held in it is nominal, and the number of transactions generated through it is minimal.

Note 2.. Summary of Significant Accouting Policies

l) Foreign Currency Translation

59.

The foreign currency translation accounting policy note has been reworded to clarify the functional currency of both the Company and its subsidiary, Northern Star Distributor Inc., is the US dollar. Northern Star’s operations are carried out primarily in United States dollars. Under SFAS 52 “Foreign Currency Translation”, an entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates; normally, that is the currency of the environment in which an entity primarily generates and expends cash.

Management has determined that the functional currency is that of the United States dollar under SFAS 52 “Foreign Currency Translation” for the following reasons:

- inventory purchases are primarily undertaken in United States dollars;

- sales are primarily undertaken in US dollars

- current and future financings are and will be primarily in United States dollars; and

- expenses are primarily undertaken in United States dollars.

n) Stock - Based Compensation

60.

The required revision has been made. See Note 2 o) on page F-8 of the amended financial statements.

Note 7. Common Shares

61.

The required revision has been made. See Note 7 on page F-10 of the amended financial statements.

Note 9. Commitment

62.

Note 9 – Commitment has been revised to clarify that the terms of the lease agreement were not modified as a result of the forgiveness of the unpaid rent. See Note 9 on page F-10 of the amended financial statements.

Exhibits

63.

The Company confirms that the exhibits have been filed with the initial Form SB-2 filed on December 3, 2004. Nonetheless, all exhibits have been attached to this registration statement for filing again.

64.

A form of subscription agreement has been filed with this registration statement as Exhibit 99.1.

Signature Page

65.

The signatures on the signature page have been amended as requested.

I trust the above to be satisfactory. If you have any questions or require anything further please give me a call.

Foreign Currency Translation

    59.

      The
      foreign currency translation accounting policy note has been reworded to
      clarify the functional currency of both the Company and its subsidiary,
      Northern Star Distributor Inc., is the US dollar. Northern Star’s
      operations are carried out primarily in United States dollars. Under SFAS
      52 “Foreign Currency Translation”, an entity’s functional currency is the
      currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates;
      normally, that is the currency of the environment in which an entity
      primarily generates and expends cash.

Management
has determined that the functional currency is that of the United States dollar
under SFAS 52 “Foreign Currency Translation” for the following
reasons:

-
inventory purchases are primarily undertaken in United States
dollars;

-  sales
are primarily undertaken in US dollars

-  current
and future financings are and will be primarily in United States dollars;
and

-
expenses are primarily undertaken in United States dollars.
