	File No. 1-07865

Dear Mr. Rothstein:

      We have reviewed your response letter dated April 27, 2005
and
have the following additional comments.  As previously stated,
these
comments require amendment to the referenced filings previously
filed
with the Commission.

Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 3 - Acquisition of Restaurant, Marina and Office/Retail
Property, Coconut Grove, Florida, page 35

1. We have read your response to comment 1.  We note that the
acquired intangible assets include trademarks and other rights
that
are not capable of being sold, transferred, licensed, rented,
exchanged, separated or divided from the acquired assets.
However,
pursuant to paragraph 39 of SFAS 141, an intangible asset shall be
recognized as an asset apart from goodwill if it arises from
contractual or other legal rights (regardless of whether those
rights
are transferable or separable from the acquired entity or from
other
rights and obligations).  In a supplemental response, clarify how
you
considered paragraphs 39 and A14 of SFAS 141, in their entirety,
in
your conclusion that the intangible assets do not meet the
criteria
for recognition apart from goodwill.  In addition, considering
that
the acquired property is subject to a ground lease with the City
of
Miami as well as a management agreement, advise us why you have
not
allocated any of the purchase price to intangible assets such as
contract-based intangible assets, such as service agreements or
lease
agreements.


Exhibit 31A & B - Certification Required Under Section 302 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

2. We have reviewed the exhibits filed with Amendment No. 1 to
Form
10-KSB on April 28, 2005, however, we are unable to locate the
revisions made in response to comment 2.  Amend the exhibits to
include all of the certifications required by Exchange Act Rules
13a-
14(a) and 15d-14(a) or advise us.  Refer to Item 601 of Regulation
S-
B and Question 1 of the staff`s Exemptive Order on Management`s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Related
Auditor Report Frequently Asked Questions dated January 21, 2005.

*    *    *    *

      As appropriate, please amend your Form 10-KSB and respond to
these comments within 10 business days or tell us when you will
provide us with a response.  Please furnish a cover letter with
your
amendment that keys your responses to our comments and provides
any
requested supplemental information.  Detailed cover letters
greatly
facilitate our review.  Please file your cover letter on EDGAR.
Please understand that we may have additional comments after
reviewing your amendment and responses to our comments.
