File No.: 000- 33097
Dear Mr. Rosenberg:
The purpose of this letter is to respond, on behalf of China Kangtai Cactus Bio-Tech, Inc., (the “Company”), to the comments in your letter dated June 5, 2007.
Form 10-KSB filed April 2, 2007

Year Ended December 31, 2006 and Year Ended December 31, 2005, Page 8
1.
Please disclose the events, circumstances, and assumptions that resulted n the $661,229 and $724,504 allowance for excess and obsolete inventories at December 31, 2006 and 2005.
Most of the inventories are the cactus crops growing on the farmland. Therefore the allowance is mostly based on the difference between the cost of cactus in the book and the conversion value of the cactus, which is the estimated market price of cactus minus all the estimated costs and taxes of the cactus to be sold, at the year end, if the conversion value is below the book cost.
- 1 -
For 2006, the book cost of cactus inventories was $0.19/kg. The conversion value at the time was at $0.17/kg. A total of 33,061,450 kg of cactus inventories was affected, so the allowance was $661,229.
For 2005, the book cost was $0.19/kg and the conversion value was $0.165/kg, A total of 24,818,820 kg of cactus inventories was affected. Therefore the allowance was $620,470. The difference between this allowance and $724,504 is the result of decreases in the values of other raw materials and packaging materials.
The 10-KSB report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 will be amended to include this information.

Please disclose your basis for treating the reverse acquisition transaction as a capital transaction and recording InvestNet’s net assets at historical cost. Please expand your disclosures to state, if true, that after InvestNet sold its subsidiaries it was a non-operating shell corporation and not a business as defined in EITF 98-3.
After InvestNet sold its subsidiaries, it was a non-operating shell corporation. That was the basis for treating the reverse acquisition transaction as a capital transaction and recording InvestNet’s net assets at historical cost. We will revise Note 1 accordingly.

Your disclosure here and on page 10 appear to be inconsistent with your
- 2 -
disclosure in an Item 4.02 Form 8-K filed on May 10, 2007, where you state that your corrected accounting policy “has now been revised so that revenue is recognized only when goods are sold by retail outlets to the end customer.” Please revise your revenue recognition policy to be consistent with the revised policy as stated in your 8-K. Please confirm to us that the financial statements for 2005 and 2006 included in this filing reflect this correct accounting policy.
The disclosure about revenue recognition in the 2006 Form 10 KSB is consistent with the Form 8-K filed on May 10, 2007. The 2006 year end auditing discovered some incorrect revenue recognition practices and corrected them so that the 2006 Form 10-KSB reflects correct financial statements under the disclosure.
The Form 8-K was filed to report the correction and inform the investors that the 3 Form 10-QSBs filed during 2006 will be amended.
The financial statements for 2005 and 2006 reflect the correct accounting policy. We will file an amended report on Form 10-KSB and will expand our revenue recognition disclosures on page 10 and in Note 2 to clarify.
