Re: DRYCLEAN USA, Inc. (the "Company")
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004
Form 10-Q for the quarters ended September 30 and December 31, 2004
File No. 1-14757
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to your letter dated March 2, 2005 to the Company in
which the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has requested certain
information with regard to the section entitled "Summary of Accounting Policies
- Revenue Recognition" on page 21 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. In response to the Staff's request:
Section 9 of the "Additional Terms and Conditions" of the Company's
Standard Sales Order Form for equipment sales reads as follows:
"9. Purchaser shall pay all freight, cartage and handling
charges from the factory where the machinery and equipment
have been manufactured. The risk of loss or damage from time
of shipment of the machinery and equipment shall be borne by
the Purchaser when the goods are tendered to the carrier. The
same shall hold forth whether Seller delivers the goods to a
common carrier, an independent contractor or transport service
whether provided by Seller or Purchaser."
Accordingly, whether equipment sold is shipped FOB from the Company's
warehouse or FOB factory, risk of loss and title passes immediately upon
delivery to the common carrier for delivery to the Company's customer, at which
time the Company records the sale.
<PAGE>
While the Company's standard parts invoice does not presently cover
terms of shipment, the Company is reprinting this invoice to specifically
reflect its standard custom and practice of shipping replacement parts FOB
origin. The Company has not sought an opinion of counsel with respect to the
sale of replacement parts.
In order to clarify its shipment terms, the Company proposes to modify
the first sentence under "Summary of Accounting Policies - Revenue Recognition"
in its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB to read as follows:
"Equipment and replacement parts are generally shipped FOB
from the Company's warehouse or drop shipped FOB factory at
which time risk of loss and title passes to the purchaser and
the sale is recorded."
Since the Company is not changing its policy, but rather is merely
clarifying its policy, the Company intends to reflect this revised language only
in its Annual Reports on Form 10-KSB commencing with its Report for the year
ending June 30, 2005 (the Company does not repeat the accounting principles used
by it in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB).
The Company acknowledges that:
o the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of
the disclosure in its filings;
o staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff
comments in its filings reviewed by the staff do not foreclose
the Commission from taking any action with respect to the
filing; and
o the Company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any
proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the
federal securities laws of the United States.
Should you have any additional comments or questions, please feel free
to communicate with me or Michael Steiner.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Venerando J. Indelicato
Venerando J. Indelicato,
Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer
