    ORDER INSTITUTING ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS AND NOTICE OF HEARING PURSUANT TO SECTION 12(j) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT

The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") deems it necessary and appropriate for the protection of investors that public administrative proceedings be, and hereby are, instituted pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act").

II.

After an investigation, the Division of Enforcement alleges that:

A. RESPONDENTS

1. Alcohol Sensors Int'l, Ltd. ("Alcohol Sensors") (CIK No. 929313)1 was a New York corporation that continues to have equity securities registered with the Commission pursuant to Exchange Act Section 12(g). On November 6, 1998, the Commission obtained a permanent injunction against Alcohol Sensors in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The injunction enjoined the issuer and its officers and agents from causing the issuer to fail to file timely periodic reports with the Commission in violation of Exchange Act Section 13(a). Alcohol Sensors has violated that permanent injunction, having not filed a periodic report since the period ending September 30, 1998. On May 7, 1999, Alcohol Sensors filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition, and that case terminated on June 8, 2001. According to the New York Department of State, the company dissolved by proclamation on September 25, 2002. The company's stock (symbol "ASIL") is quoted on the Pink Sheets.

Beachport has violated that permanent injunction, having not filed a periodic report since the period ending December 30, 1997. On August 27, 1999, the company filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition, and that case is still pending in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California. On April 7, 2004, the Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustee for Beachport filed a motion to sell the company's corporate shell for $20,000. On April 29, 2004, the Division of Enforcement Bankruptcy Counsel appeared in the bankruptcy case on behalf of the Commission as a party in interest pursuant to its regulatory power and filed an opposition to debtor Beachport's motion for approval of a public sale of its corporate shell on the grounds that such a sale constitutes trafficking in a public shell in violation of Section 727(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. The company's stock (symbol "BPRT") is quoted on the Pink Sheets.

3. Biosonics, Inc. ("Biosonics") (CIK No. 352715) is a Pennsylvania corporation with equity securities registered with the Commission pursuant to Exchange Act Section 12(g).

Hughes, pleaded guilty to three counts of securities fraud and one count of criminal contempt in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

In view of the allegations made by the Division of Enforcement, the Commission deems it necessary and appropriate for the protection of investors that public administrative proceedings be instituted pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act to determine:

A. Whether the allegations contained in Section II of this Order are true and, in connection therewith, to afford the Respondents an opportunity to establish any defenses to such allegations; and

B. Whether it is necessary and appropriate for the protection of investors to suspend for a period not to exceed twelve months or revoke the registration of securities of the Respondents identified in Section II pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

IV.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that a public hearing for the purpose of taking evidence on the questions set forth in Section III hereof shall be convened at a time and placed to be fixed, and before an Administrative Law Judge to be designated by further order as provided by Rule 200 of the Commission's Rules of Practice [17 C.F.R. § 201.200].

IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED that Respondents shall file Answers to the allegations contained in this Order within ten (10) days after service of this Order, as provided by Rule 220(b) of the Commission's Rules of Practice [17 C.F.R. § 201.220(b)].

If Respondents fail to file the directed Answers, or fail to appear at a hearing after being duly notified, the Respondents may be deemed in default and the proceedings may be determined against them upon consideration of this Order, the allegations of which may be deemed to be true as provided by Rules 155(a), 220(f), 221(f), and 310 of the Commission's Rules of Practice [17 C.F.R. §§ 201.155(a), 201.220(f), 201.221(f), and 201.310].

This Order shall be served forthwith upon Respondents personally or by certified mail.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Administrative Law Judge shall issue an initial decision no later than 120 days from the date of service of this Order, pursuant to Rule 360(a)(2) of the Commission's Rules of Practice [17 C.F.R. § 201.360(a)(2)].

In the absence of an appropriate waiver, no officer or employee of the Commission engaged in the performance of investigative or prosecuting functions in this or any factually related proceeding will be permitted to participate or advise in the decision of this matter, except as witness or counsel in proceedings held pursuant to notice. Since this proceeding is not "rule making" within the meaning of Section 551 of the Administrative Procedure Act, it is not deemed subject to the provisions of Section 553 delaying the effective date of any final Commission action.

By the Commission.
