Dear Mr.

Re:

“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.
6.
The
requested revisions have been made throughout the registration

The

“eBay.com” on page 23.
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.

The

bank account, however, the balance of funds held in it is nominal, and the

Note

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.
