You state that on June 10, 2002 the Company dismissed Hoberman, Miller, Glodstein & Lesser, P.C., C.P.A. as your principal public accountant and engaged Gvilli & Co., C.P.A. This is inconsistent with your disclosure that Hoberman Miller rendered an opinion on the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 and 2003 financial statements.

Please amend to discuss the Company's consultations, if any with Gvilli & Co., C.P.A., the newly engaged accountant. In making any disclosures about consultations with your new accountant, please ensure you disclose any consultations up through the date of engagement. 2. The Company would like to amend the Form 8-K by adding the following: During the registrant's two most recent fiscal years, and any subsequent interim period prior to engaging Gvilli & Co., the registrant (or someone on its behalf) did not consult the newly engaged accountant regarding: (i) either: the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the registrant's financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the registrant or oral advice was provided that the new accountant concluded was an important factor considered by the registrant in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph 304(a)(1)(iv) and the related instructions to this item) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph 304(a)(1)(v)). Exhibit 16: - ----------- 3. Please file a letter from your former accountant, indicating whether or not they agree with your disclosures in the Form 8-K. 3. The Company would like to amend the 8-K in the following manner and by adding the following Exhibit 16: In the second paragraph the words `and for the fiscal year ended' were removed from the Form 8-K. In the second paragraph the words `the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year' were removed from the Form 8-K and replaced with the words `each of the two years in the period'. In the fourth paragraph of the Form 8-K the words `Dated December 22, 2004' were added. The fifth paragraph of the Form 8-K was omitted. The following Exhibit 16 was added to the Form 8-K: Exhibit 16 December 5,2005 Securities and Exchange Commission 450 Fifth Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Finotec Group, Inc.
