RE: V-GPO, Inc.
Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004
Filed March 30, 2005
File No. 0-30101
Dear Mr. Dobiesz:
We have reviewed your response letter dated April 27, 2005
and
have the following additional comments. In our comments, we 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.
Please understand that the purpose of our review process is
to
assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure
requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing.
We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome
any questions you may have about our comments or on any other
aspect
of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers
listed
at the end of this letter.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
1. We have reviewed your response to comment 1. In a supplemental
response please address the following issues:
* Tell us whether a negative outcome is probable, reasonably
possible
or remote in accordance with paragraph 8 of SFAS 5. Also, tell us
if
you have accrued the $406,000 as a liability within your financial
statements as of December 31, 2004. Tell us how you came to the
above conclusions considering the fact that a court in April of
2003
ordered you to pay $406,000 to your former landlord.
* You indicated in your response that you don`t believe that the
proceeding will have a material effect on your financial position
or
results of operations. We do not understand how a negative
outcome
could not have a significant impact on the financial position and
results of operations considering the fact that you have less than
$10,000 in cash at December 31, 2004. Please revise future
filings
to include additional disclosure within the liquidity section of
MD&A
and discuss how you would settle this possible contingency.
Note E - Related Party Transactions, page F-14
2. Your response to prior comment 4 cites paragraph 10 of FIN 39
as
your basis for netting amounts due to and from related parties.
However, paragraph 10 of FIN 39 relates specifically to fair value
amounts on certain specific types of contracts executed with the
same
counter party under a master netting arrangement. In a
supplemental
response explain to us how you have determined that it is
appropriate
to apply this guidance to notes receivable and notes payable with
multiple parties.
Note M - Commitments and Contingencies
Financing Commitment and Acquisitions, page F-20
3. Your response to prior comment 5 mentions an initial holder of
the
bonds and HSBC Bank as trustee. In a supplemental response
clarify
to us the succession of entities holding the bonds including who
holds the bonds now (i.e. have the bonds always been physically
held
by HSBC or have they changed hands? How many times have they
changed
hands? Are they now held by a third party to whom you may be
liable?).
Please respond to the comments included in this letter
within
ten business days. If you have any questions, you may contact
William Demarest at (202) 551-3432 or me at (202) 551-3486.
Sincerely,
Daniel L. Gordon
Branch Chief
