Re: DVL, Inc. (the "Company")
File No. 001-08356
Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004 (the "Filing")
Dear Chief Luckey:
Set forth below is the Company's response to the Staff's comment contained in
your letter dated September 6, 2005 (the "Comment Letter").
Staff Comment
Please clarify S2's consolidation policy as it relates to the 99.9% Class B
member interests it holds in Receivables II-A and II-B, LLC as well as your
consideration of FIN 46(R).
Company Response
The 99.99% Class B member interests that S2 holds in Receivables II-A, LLC and
Receivables II-B, LLC are consolidated into S2 for financial statement reporting
purposes and S2 is consolidated into DVL, Inc. Our consideration of FIN 46(R)
included the factors detailed in paragraph 5 of FIN 46(R) based upon which we
determined that S2's member interests in Receivables II-A, LLC and Receivables
II-B, LLC do not meet the definition of variable interest entities. Therefore
the membership interests were consolidated under the standard consolidation
rules.
As requested in your comment letter, we acknowledge that (1) The Company is
responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Filing; (2)
Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not
foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the Filing; and
(3) 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.
Sincerely yours,
/s/ Jay Thailer
