Ladies
and Gentlemen:
On
behalf
of our client, Excalibur Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Excalibur”),
set forth below are Excalibur’s responses to the staff’s comments, delivered by
way of its letter dated September 14, 2005, numbered in a manner to correspond
to the order to which the staff’s comments were delivered.
Form
10-QSB for the Quarter ended June 30, 2005
Note
4 - Common Stock, page 6
1. Excalibur
accounted for the issuance of 29,998,500 shares of restricted stock by crediting
Stockholder’s Equity in the amount of $29,999 and debiting Selling, General, and
Administrative Expense in the amount of $29,999, pursuant to FAS
123.
It
appears that Excalibur recorded the stock compensation expense in the
2nd
quarter,
rather than recording it as a deferred compensation expense as a “contra-equity”
account, in contravention of FAS 123. Excalibur will make the appropriate
adjustments to its financials in the 3rd
quarter;
however, Excalibur does not believe that the amount of the adjustment is
material enough to merit a restatement of its 2nd
quarter
financial statements.

In
April
2005, the board of directors of Excalibur obtained an independent corporate
valuation of Excalibur Industries, Inc. from Lehrer Financial and Economic
Advisory Services (“Lehrer”). We have enclosed a copy of the corporate valuation
for your review. Lehrer conducted a summary appraisal valuation and a financial
review of Excalibur’s ongoing and operating corporation, and Lehrer also
performed its own independent valuation of the fair market value of Excalibur
Industries as of April 2005. Lehrer’s conclusion, set out on page 57 of the
report, is that the final reconciled value of Excalibur in April 2005, based
on
three separate valuation approaches, was zero.
The
bases for this conclusion are set forth in the report.
On
May
11, 2005, Excalibur’s common stock was quoted at $0.03 per share; however,
according to the published reports available on Yahoo.com, the stock did not
actually trade that day, and had not traded since April 28, 2005. Further,
according to Yahoo.com, less than 100,000 shares of Excalibur’s common stock had
traded in the entire month of April.
Based
on
the Lehrer corporate valuation and the thinly-traded nature of the common stock,
the board of directors of Excalibur determined in good faith that the fair
market value of shares of the common stock on the date of grant of the
restricted stock awards was par value, or $0.001 per share.
On
behalf
of Excalibur, please be advised that Excalibur has endeavored to respond fully
to each of the staff’s comments. We acknowledge and understand that any comment
from the staff regarding these issues would not be binding and would not commit
the staff in any manner. Further, Excalibur acknowledges the
following:
·
It
is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in
its
filings;
·
Staff
comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do
not
foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the
filings; and
·
Excalibur
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.
