Refer to Item 307 of Regulation S-K and Part III.F of Management`s Reports on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Certification of Disclosure in Exchange Act Periodic Reports, Release No. 33-8238, available on our website at www.sec.gov/rules/final/33-8238.htm. 30. We note that your "Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company`s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company required to be included in the Company`s periodic SEC filings." The language that is currently included after the word "effective" in your disclosure appears to be superfluous, since the meaning of "disclosure controls and procedures" is established by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Please revise your disclosure to remove this superfluous language. However, if you do not wish to eliminate this language, please revise so that the language that appears after the word "effective" is substantially similar in all material respects to the language that appears in the entire two-sentence definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" set forth in Rule 13a-15(e). 31. Please revise to indicate whether there was any change to your internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, your internal control over financial reporting, consistent with the language used in amended Item 308(c) of Regulation S-B. 32. Please include these disclosures under Item 8A in your amendment. Signatures 33. The annual report does not appear to be signed. Please amend your filing or alternatively supplementally provide us with the version of the signature page submitted for filing that demonstrates Ms. Wood and Mr. Cefalu signed the report on behalf of the registrant and that the directors signed in their capacities as directors.

It does not appear that the certifications filed as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2 were signed.

Definitive Proxy Statement filed January 31, 2005 37. We note that you have forward incorporated the information required by Part III of Form 10-KSB to a proxy statement. Although the document to which you refer was filed on EDGAR as a definitive information statement on Schedule 14C, the document refers to itself as a proxy statement, rather than an information statement. Further, you indicate that you are soliciting proxies from shareholders, but your filing does not include a form of proxy as required by Rule 14a- 6 of the Exchange Act.
