Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter. Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 Consolidated Financial Statements Note 2 - Acquisitions, page 10 1. It appears that the convertible promissory note issued in February 2005 in connection with the STAR acquisition may have beneficial conversion features. Please tell us how you considered the guidance in EITF 98-5 in determining whether the conversion feature should be valued separately at issuance. 2. Considering that a significant portion of the STAR and PWI acquisition purchase price is allocated to goodwill, please advise us of your consideration of paragraphs 39 and A14 of SFAS 141 as it relates to the recognition of intangible assets apart from goodwill. Also, advise us of any intangible assets included in goodwill that do not meet the criteria for recognition apart from goodwill. Note 8 - Subsequent Events, page 19 (C) Amendment to Senior Secured Convertible Note, page 21 3. With respect to the amendment to the Laurus Note, we note that any beneficial conversion features resulting from the change in conversion terms will be recognized in earnings at the time of conversion. Please tell us why you did not record the beneficial conversion feature at the commitment date pursuant to EITF 98-5. * * * * As appropriate, please respond to these comments within 10 business days or tell us when you will provide us with a response.
