| | Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 | |
| | Filed April 14, 2010 | |
| | File No. 333-139045 | |
We are the attorneys for the Company. We refer to your letter of July 30, 2010 addressed to the Company with your comments on the Company's Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, filed on April 14, 2010. For your ease of reference, our responses to your comments are numbered in a corresponding manner:
Financial Statements, page F-1
Notes to the Financial Statements, page F-7
Note 5. Stockholders’ (Deficit), page F-10
| 1. | In regards to the comments on the inconsistent disclosure, please note that you have correctly identified an inconsistency in the number of shares that were cancelled during 2009. The amended disclosure on page 5 should refer to be 3,269,496, and as such be reconciled to the correct number in the Statement of Stockholders' Deficit and Note 5 of the financial statements. In regards to the business purpose of cancelling the stock, the Company has advised that such cancellation was a pre-condition for the current business to be vended into the company. When presented with this condition, the shareholders who were required to cancel their shares agreed to do so in order that the transaction could proceed, and minority shareholder value could be enhanced. The Company proposes to make the foregoing revised disclosure in subsequent filings. |

| 2. | In regards to the comment on stock issuances, the issuance of stock for consulting (Capital Group Communications) was recorded as a prepaid expense - see Note 3 to the financial statements. This stock was valued at $120,000; $60,000 was recorded as general and administrative expense in the statement of operations and $60,000 was recorded as a prepaid expense on the balance sheet, since the services had not been rendered, but payment had been made (i.e. the stock fee is nonrefundable). |
| | |
| | The issuance of stock for web design and radio operations was valued at $450,000 - see Note 5 to the financial statements.
