Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 Your File No. 0-29881 Dear Mr. Cash: We are in receipt of your letter dated April 20, 2004 and wish to take this opportunity to respond to your comments: 10-KSB for the Period Ended June 30, 2004 General 1. Where a comment below requests additional disclosures or other revisions to be made, please show us in your supplemental response what the revisions will look like.

We note your response to prior comment 8 and appreciate the additional information you have provided. Please further explain your relationship with Canvasback Company Limited and the $650,000 operating line of credit that you secured prior to issuing your 2004 Annual Form 10-KSB. Please disclose more information about this financing source in your future filings. This revolving line of credit was entered into on March 22, 2002, and fluctuated up to $650,000 as a maximum credit, with fluctuating interest rates of between 10% and 12.5% over the period of the credit line. On September 27, 2002 Canvasback Company Limited was issued shares of the Company's restricted common stock against the outstanding principle amount of the obligations plus accrued interest totaling $450,000 which was converted into 1,125,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company at $0.40 per share. The closing price of the shares on September 27, 2002 was $0.31. Canvasback is an independent and unaffiliated lender. Note 5 - Property and Equipment 3. We reviewed your response to prior comment 11 and appreciate the additional information that you have provided. Please provide us additional information regarding your Form 8-K filed on November 15, 2004 stating you would be purchasing from North American Systems, Inc. a 100% ownership interest in the equipment, machinery, operations systems and manuals located in West Valley, Utah. Please tell us how the ale of these assets pursuant to the agreement of August 1, 2003 and the purchase of these assets pursuant to the agreement of November 8, 2004 (if consummated) have been accounted for. (a) On August 1, 2003 the Company sold all the assets in Salt Lake City to North American Systems (NAS), a non related party. The assets transferred had a net book value of $111,834. The Company recorded the disposal as per follow: DR: Receivable from NAS 71,835 DR: Loan payable NAS 40,479 CR: Property & equipment (book value) 111,834 (To record the disposal of assets) (b) The Company filed an 8-K on November 15, 2004 stating it would be purchasing from North American Systems, Inc. a 100% ownership interest in the equipment, machinery, operations systems and manuals located in West Valley, Utah. The transaction was consummated on March 15, 2005 whereby the Company agreed to reacquire the assets at $44,902. The Company recorded the acquisition as per follows: DR: Property & equipment $44,902 CR: Receivable from NAS 44,902 (To record the re-acquisition of the assets) Note 14 - Litigation 4. We note your response to prior comment 14 and appreciate the additional information provided. Please also tell us the amount of money paid by the Company in order to have these shares returned to Treasury and settle the lawsuit and how that transaction is reflected in your statement of operations and statement of stockholders' deficit. The Company settled a lawsuit with two former employees during the year ended June 30, 2004. Per the settlement agreement, the Company agreed to pay to the former employees an amount of $128,000 for the settlement on their claim and the Company was to receive back 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock, which were previously issued to those former employees as compensation. The Company recorded the settlement as per follow: DR: Litigation settlement 128,000 CR: Accrued expense 128,000 The accrued expense was being paid in monthly installment of $14,333. To record the payment, following entry was made: DR: Accrued expense 14,333 CR: Cash 14,333 The Company received the 200,000 shares subsequent to March 31, 2005. The Company recorded the receipt of the shares as per follow: DR: Treasury stock (with par value of 200,000 shares) 2,000 CR: Paid in Capital (with par value of 200,000 shares) 2,000 Please note that the Company paid the settlement amount per the agreement and recorded an expense since the amount was already paid off. The Company did not record the treasury stock until those shares were actually received by the Company subsequent to March 31, 2005, due to uncertainty on timing of receipt of the shares. Controls and Procedures 5. We reviewed your response to prior comment 16 and not your disclosure that your "President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files under the Exchange act is properly recorded, processed, summarized and reporting within the time specified in the Commissions' rules and procedures." Revise to clarify, if true, that your officers concluded that your disclosure controls and procedures are also effective to ensure that information, required to be disclosed in the reports that you file or submit under the Exchange act, is accumulated and communicated to your management, including your chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding your required disclosure. Refer to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Alternatively, your officers may conclude that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are "effective" without defining disclosure controls and procedures. Our officers have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. We will include this response in your future filings. Item 14 - Principal Accountant Fees and Services 6. We note your response to prior comment 18 and appreciate the additional information you have provided. Please separately disclose the fees billed for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for each year indicated. Also, separately state fees which are not audit related and for those fees describe the services performed by the principal accountant. Professional fees for the year ending June 30, 2003 = Audit & related $26,050, Other = $0 Professional fees for the year ending June 30, 2004 = Audit & related $28,550, Other = $0 The Company incorrectly stated in our response letter dated March 23, 2005, Item 16. c. that the Company's independent registered public accounting firm that audited the Company's financial statements included herein, has issued an attestation report on management's assessment of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. There were no fees or professional services rendered which are not audit related. Certifications - Exhibit 31.1 and 31.2 7.
