Ms. Hooker confirmed by telephone that the Comment pertains only to the Company&#146;s discussion of cash flows provided by operating activities for the prior years 2003 and 2002, as the discussion for the current year 2004 does discuss the reasons for significant changes.  As Regulation S-K Item 303 only requires discussion of the current year liquidity and capital resources, the Company will in its future filings omit any discussion of prior year cash flows provided by operating activities rather than merely repeating information from the balance sheets and statements of cash flows for those years, and will continue to discuss the reasons for significant changes in the current year.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; margin-left:0.85in;text-align:left;'><font size=2>Company Response.  In its future filings the Company will include scheduled fixed rate interest payments in the table.  The Company&#146;s revolving lines of credit, which have been omitted from the table and disclosed in a footnote to the table, bear interest at floating rates of interest.  Rather than attempting to estimate those floating interest rates and the levels of debt on which they are charged, the Company will disclose floating rate interest in a footnote to the table using words such as the following: &#147;Interest obligations exclude floating rate interest on debt payable under revolving lines of credit. Based on the amount of such debt at January 31, 2005, and the weighted average interest rates on that debt at that date (5.75%), such interest was being incurred at an annual rate of  approximately $692,000.&#148;</font></p>

In the Company&#146;s March 28, 2005 loan agreement amendment (the &#147;Amendment&#148;),  &#147;material adverse  affect&#148;  was removed from the list of  events of default.  After the Amendment , every listed event of default in the loan agreement is objectively determinable or measurable, so that from the date of the Amendment the company&#146;s credit agreement no longer &#147;includes both a subjective acceleration clause and a requirement to maintain a lock-box arrangement&#148; as described in EITF 95-22, so that the provisions of EITF 95-22 no longer pertain to debt outstanding under the loan agreement after the Amendment.</font></p>
