In doing so, please disclose the revenues and gross profit from each business unit and your primary product lines for the periods presented and describe the underlying causes for significant changes between the periods presented.

You have disclosed, "[U]ncertainties and/or fluctuations in the marketplace have an impact on liquidity that cannot be quantified at this time."

Please provide the disclosure required by Item 303(c) of Regulation S-B. If you do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, please state as such. Consolidated Balance Sheets, page 12 15.

Please disclose for each period presented the number of shares issuable under options and convertible debt instruments that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future, which you did not include in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive. Foreign Currency Transaction Gains/Losses, page 19 21. Please tell us your basis in GAAP for deferring and amortizing foreign currency transaction gains and losses relating to long- term debt obligations. Please refer to paragraph 15 of SFAS No. 52.

Note 4 - Intangible Assets, page 23 23.

Please revise to disclose the period in which these transactions occurred and the nature of the consideration you received for the issuance of the 4,612,625 shares. Please provide us with a reconciliation the number of shares reflected in the disclosure to the number of shares issued as reflected in the statement of stockholders` equity (deficit).

We note your disclosure that you have not engaged in any transactions that would be considered derivative instruments. However, it appears that the conversion feature embedded in the 12% subordinated convertible debentures is not conventional, which would require derivative accounting. Refer to paragraphs 11(a) and 12(c) of SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19. Please tell us the basis for your conclusion that the conversion feature in your 12% subordinated convertible debentures is exempt from derivative accounting treatment. 31. Please disclose the payment terms and/or maturity date, conversion terms and other pertinent terms of the 12% debentures and the convertible note disclosed in the last paragraph. In addition, please tell us whether the convertible note disclosed in the last paragraph includes a beneficial conversion feature.
