USE OF PROCEEDS, PAGE 12
5. We have presented the net proceeds received and use of proceeds in three
capital raising scenarios and provided a tabular disclosure to reflect a
25%, 50% and 100% offering level. The accompanying disclosure as well
clarifies: the offering is on a "best efforts" basis, the three scenarios
are presented for illustrative purposes only and the actual proceeds, if
any, may differ.
6. The disclosure has been revised consistent with your comment.
7. The disclosure has been revised to ensure that the detailed line items
discussed in the application of proceeds table are consistent with the
nature and amount of the expenses described in the Plan of Operations.
Additionally the Management Discussion and Analysis has been expanded to
clarify the expected source of the necessary additional funds.

(cont'd. Question 11.)
Based on the above factors, the Company believes that the functional
currency is the Canadian dollar.
We apologize for our prior comment in our letter of April 18, 2005, number
30, as in fact we do use a Canadian bank account for a portion of our
transactions. However the foreign exchange amount was $119 dollars and was
considered insignificant and was included with bank charges and interest on
the statement of operations.
PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, PAGE 26
12. The disclosure has been revised to clarify the status of our operations and
where they are being run.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM, PAGE 38

report.

mean by "planned operations".

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm". Additionally an updated
signed consent will be filed as an exhibit with each amendment. to the
