     1. The Form 10-KSB for fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 has been amended
to include a signed audit report,  the signature  block of which report had been
omitted inadvertently in the original filing.

     We acknowledge (i) the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy
of the disclosure in the filing, (ii) staff comments or changes to disclosure in
response  to staff  comments do not  foreclose  the  Commission  from taking any
action with respect to the  filings,  and (iii) the company may not assert staff
comments as a defense in any  proceedings  initiated  by the  Commission  or any
person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

                                        Sincerely,

                                        /s/William B. Dockser
