In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with supplemental information so we may better understand your disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may or may not raise additional comments. Form 10-KSB for the Year Ended September 30, 2004 Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies - Earnings per Share 1. We note your response to our prior comment three and your revised disclosure in the Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2005. However, in situations in which the computation of diluted EPS would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share, the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding on the face of the income statement should be the same number as the basic weighted average common shares outstanding. Further, the number of incremental shares issuable upon conversion of your convertible preferred stock or convertible debt and the exercise of stock options and warrants that were not included in the diluted earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive should be disclosed in a footnote to the financial statements. Reference paragraphs 38 and 40c of SFAS 128. Please revise as appropriate. * * * * As appropriate, please respond to these comments within 10 business days or tell us when you will provide us with a response.
