Dear Mr. Webb:
Thank you for your letter dated July 5, 2005. I am responding on behalf of my
client, MIV Therapeutics, Inc. We have reviewed your suggestions and taken the
time to seriously consider your remarks. Pursuant to your comments we have
amended certain information on the Forms listed above and will do our best to
ensure that future filings include the information you suggest.
MIV Therapeutics, Inc. acknowledges that, as the registrant, it is responsible
for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosures in its filings, that 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 that it
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.
Below, we stated our responses to your comments. We have also attached marked
copies of the sections of our filings that we will file in amended Forms on the
same day that we file this response.

FROM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2005
----------------------------------------------------------
NOTES 11 AND 12 - ACQUISITION OF SAGAX, INC. AND SAHAJANAND MEDICAL
-------------------------------------------------------------------
TECHNOLOGIES, INC., PAGE F-14
-----------------------------
2. PLEASE PROVIDE US WITH YOUR CALCULATIONS OF SIGNIFICANCE FOR YOUR
ACQUISITION OF SAGAX, INC. AND PENDING ACQUISITION OF SAHAJANAND
MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES INC. AMEND YOUR FORM 8-KS TO INCLUDE ANY REQUIRED
HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THESE ACQUISITIONS.
REFER TO ITEM 310(C) AND ITEM 310(D) OF REGULATION S-B.
RESPONSE: There is no historical or pro forma financial statements for Sagax,
Inc. and therefore it is not necessary to amend the Form 8-K for this
acquisition pursuant to Regulation S-B.
Sahajanand Medical Technologies, Inc. is currently being audited to conform its
financial statements to US GAAP and to fulfill SEC requirements. The Company
expects to file a Form 8-K with financial statements on the transaction once the
Company completes its due diligence and a definitive agreement is reached.
NOTE 12 - ACQUISITION OF SAHAJANAND MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES INC., PAGE F-14
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. WE SEE THAT YOU HAVE AN AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE ALL THE OUTSTANDING COMMON
STOCK OF SAHAJANAND MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES INC. FOR 44.5 MILLION SHARES
OF YOUR COMMON STOCK. USING THE FACTORS OUTLINED IN PARAGRAPH 17 OF
SFAS 141, TELL US WHAT PARTY IN THIS TRANSACTION WILL BE CONSIDERED THE
ACQUIRING ENTITY AND HOW YOU PLAN ON ACCOUNTING FOR THIS TRANSACTION.
WE MAY HAVE FURTHER COMMENTS AFTER REVIEWING YOUR RESPONSE
RESPONSE: In considering the factors outlined in paragraph 17 of SFAS 141, the
Company concludes that it is the acquiring entity in this pending transaction
for the following reasons:
o After the proposed issuance of 44.5 million shares to SMT, the
company's existing shareholders will still have majority control of the
combined entity, as 44.5 million shares would only represent
approximately 45% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the
company
<PAGE>
-3-
o The composition of the Board of Directors of the combined entity would
continue to be dominated by the current Board of the Company
o The composition of the senior management of the combined entity would
continue to be dominated by the current management of the Company
Therefore, on the balance of the factors outlined in SFAS 141, the Company is
considered the acquiring entity and the accounting for this transaction will be
done on a straight forward acquisition basis.
EXHIBIT 31.1 AND 31.2
---------------------
4. WE NOTE THAT CERTIFICATIONS FILED AS EXHIBITS 31.1 AND 31.2 WERE NOT IN
THE PROPER FORM. THE REQUIRED CERTIFICATIONS MUST BE IN THE EXACT FORM
PRESCRIBED; THE WORDING OF THE REQUIRED CERTIFICATIONS MAY NOT BE
CHANGED IN ANY RESPECT, EXCEPT FOR MODIFICATIONS TEMPORARILY PERMITTED
TO BE MADE TO THE FOURTH PARAGRAPH OF THE CERTIFICATION REQUIRED TO BE
FILED AS EXHIBIT 31.1 PURSUANT TO PART III OF RELEASE NO. 8238.
ACCORDINGLY, PLEASE FILE AN AMENDMENT TO YOUR FORM 10-Q FOR THE
QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2004 THAT INCLUDES THE ENTIRE
FILING TOGETHER WITH THE CERTIFICATIONS OF EACH OF YOUR CURRENT CEO AND
CFO IN THE FORM CURRENTLY SET FORTH IN ITEM 601 OF REGULATION SB.
RESPONSE: We have amended the certifications filed as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to
conform to the proper form.
Yours very truly,
BRAUN & COMPANY per:
