Based on your responses to prior comments 3 and 7 in your letter dated July 12, 2005 and the responses to prior comments 1, 2 and 3 in your letter dated September 15, 2005, it appears that you have concluded that your previously issued financial statements should no longer be relied upon because of an error in such financial statements. As such, a Form 8-K should be filed pursuant to Item 4.02 of the Form. 2. You indicate in response to prior comment number 3 in your letter dated September 15, 2005 that you plan to file a revision to your Form 10-KSB to reflect the restatements.

In response to prior comment number 3 in your letter dated September 15, 2005, you indicate your intention to amend the financial statements to limit the amount of beneficial conversion feature to the amount of proceeds allocated to the convertible debentures. Please provide us with the calculation of your proposed adjustments to the 2003 and 2004 financial statements. In this regard, we note that the adjusted amount of beneficial conversion feature for the 2003 debentures is approximately $2,210 thousand, however the amount of proceeds allocated to the convertible debentures was $924 thousand. In addition, we note that the adjusted amount of beneficial conversion feature for the 2004 debentures is approximately $1,242 thousand, however the amount of proceeds allocated to the convertible debentures was $731 thousand.
