Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2004 Form 10-Q for the Fiscal Quarter Ended January 31, 2005 Form 10-Q for the Fiscal Quarter Ended April 30, 2005 Form 10-Q for the Fiscal Quarter Ended July 31, 2005 File No. 000-26598 Dear Mr. Cassidy: We have reviewed your response dated October 12, 2005 and have the following comment. Please note that we have limited our review to the matters addressed in the comment below. We may ask you to provide us with supplemental information so we may better understand your disclosure. Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation. After reviewing this information, we may raise additional comments. Please understand that the purpose of our review process is to assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing. We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome any questions you may have about our comment or on any other aspect of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter. Form 10-Q for the Quarterly Period Ended April 30, 2005 Item 2. Management`s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures, page 22 1. Your response to prior comment number 1 indicates that your CODM recently changed the measure of ENS segment profit (loss) used to evaluated the performance of ENS and decide how to allocate resources. Tell us when your CODM made this change. That is, clarify whether your CODM used your current or prior measure of segment profit (loss) to assess the performance of ENS and to decide how to allocate resources for the year-ended October 31, 2004 and subsequent quarters. If your CODM has always used your current measure, this change is a correction of an error since the company`s financial statements did not comply with SFAS 131 in previously issued financial statements pursuant to APB Opinion No. 20, paragraph 36. Further, the current measure of segment performance as of October 31, 2004 was $3,201,478 and the prior measure as disclosed in the footnotes was $1,617,014 which is a significant difference. More importantly, the disclosure fails to satisfy the requirements of SFAS 131 to disclose the segment measured used which cannot be remedy by disclosure "outside" of the audited financial statements that are prepared in accordance with GAAP. If the change is deemed a correction of an error, restate and amend previously filed Exchange Act reports including your October 31, 2004 Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly filings. ***** As appropriate, please amend your filing and respond to this comment within 10 business days or tell us when you will provide us with a response. Please submit all correspondence and supplemental materials on EDGAR as required by Rule 101 of Regulation S-T. You may wish to provide us with marked copies of any amendment to expedite our review. Please furnish a cover letter with any amendment that keys your responses to our comment and provides any requested information. Detailed cover letters greatly facilitate our review. Please understand that we may have additional comments after reviewing any amendment and your responses to our comment. We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure in the filing to be certain that the filing includes all information required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that they have provided all information investors require for an informed investment decision. Since the company and its management are in possession of all facts relating to a company`s disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they have made.
