Re: Knowledge Transfer Systems, Inc., Form 10-KSB, File No.
000-28417_______________________________________________
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of Knowledge Transfer Systems, Inc. (the "Company"), we
hereby file this letter in response to the comments of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), dated May 3, 2005 (the "Comment
Letter"), with reference to the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 2005, file number 0-28417. The Company is also filing herewith the
statement requested by the Commission regarding the adequacy and accuracy of its
disclosure.
1. We note here and in Note 5 on page F-12 that you issued 2.3 million
shares of common stock for services valued at $2,293. In a supplemental
response, please explain the nature of the services. Also, please tell us your
measurement date and how you determined the measurement date and fair value of
these shares issued in exchange for services. Refer to EITF 96-18.
Response: On October 12, 2004, 2,293,224 shares, constituting 90% of
the issued and outstanding share capital, were issued pursuant to a stock
purchase agreement in consideration for services provided to the Company. The
services consisted primarily of raising sufficient capital to pay the debts of
the Company and then to coordinate the settlement of said debt. On said date,
the asking price of the Company's stock was $0.11 per share; however, there was
no trading on said date or for several days before or after. Given the nature of
the services and the fact that there really is no ascertainable market for the
shares of the Company, it is difficult to value the services which were provided
to the Company. The Company therefore valued the services based on the estimated
debt of the Company was $111,034. The Company determined that the par value of
the stock, $2,293, was approximately 2% of the estimated outstanding debt of the
Company ($111,034) and therefore this was a reasonable charge for the services
provided. The Company believes that $2,293 is a more reasonable value for the
services provided as opposed to $252,255 or $111,034.
2. We note that your wholly-owned subsidiary KT Solutions, Inc. filed
for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in September 2003 and that you subsequently disposed of
this subsidiary in October 2004 in connection with a stock purchase agreement
that resulted in a change in control of your Company. In a supplemental
response, please explain how the disposition of KT Solutions was part of the
stock purchase agreement. In this regard, please summarize the relevant terms of
the stock purchase agreement and disposition.
Response: The Chapter 7 bankruptcy in September 2003 has no connection
or relevancy to the change of control which occurred in October 2004. The stock
purchase agreement executed in October 2004 and the discontinued operations from
September 2003 are two separate, independent events. KT Solutions filed for
bankruptcy in September 2003 and remained a consolidated subsidiary of the
Company due to the creditor relationship with Mr. Steve Burke. When the change
in control in the Company occurred in October 2004, the creditor relationship
between KT Solutions and the Company (via Mr. Burke) no longer existed. Prior to
the change in control, the Company continued to consolidate its subsidiary in
bankruptcy because it believed that there was still control under SFAS 94 due to
a creditor relationship of prior management. However, in October 2004, with the
change in control of the Company, the Company lost any remaining control of the
Subsidiary and pursuant to SFAS 94, paragraph 13, discontinued consolidating the
subsidiary. The Company will make this explanation clearer in its subsequent
filings.
The terms of the stock purchase agreement were described in the Current
Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on March 3, 2005, as well as that
contained in the Form 10-KSB.
3. In a supplemental response, tell us the nature of the $1.5 million
in net liabilities of discontinued operations at December 31, 2003 and who
assumed these liabilities in connection with your disposition.
Response: The liabilities of KT Solutions, the subsidiary which was
disposed of in the September 2003 bankruptcy, consisted of trade account
payables, accrued liabilities, deferred revenue, lease obligations and notes
payable to third parties and parties related to prior management of the Company
(as described in Note 3 to the financial statements). These liabilities were
discharged in the Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
4. Please advise us of your basis in accounting for recording a gain
on this disposition. In your response, cite the relevant accounting literature
you rely on and how this transaction results in the culmination of an earnings
process.
Response: The discharge of net liabilities by the Chapter 7 bankruptcy
constitutes extinguishment of debt. Accordingly, this has been recorded as a
gain on the extinguishment of debt under APB-26.
5. Your disclosure suggests that upon entering into the October 2004
stock purchase agreement, you received $200,000 from Global General Technology
as an escrow deposit. Please advise us, and disclose in future filings, the
relationship between your investors in October 2004 and Global General
Technology. Also, explain the relationship between the October 2003 transaction
and the February 2005 transaction.
Response
5. The purchasers of the shares of the Company received $200,000 from
Global General Technology in October 2004. Said funds were utilized by the
purchasers to satisfy the debts of the Company, and upon consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the February 2005 stock exchange agreement, the
$200,000 will be absorbed in the transaction. If the transaction does not occur,
the $200,000 will be owed to Global General Technology. There is no relationship
between Global General Technology and the purchasers of the majority of the
outstanding shares in October 2004 other than as contemplated by the Share
Exchange Agreement dated February 2005.
The Company is also submitting the acknowledgment requested by the
Commission.
The Company respectfully submits via EDGAR the foregoing responses to
the Commission as requested by the Commission.
Please note that we are also submitting via facsimile a copy of this
letter in order to help expedite your review process so that the final
information statement can be mailed to the shareholders of the Company promptly.
Please address any further questions or comments to the undersigned at
the above-referenced telephone and fax numbers. Thank you very much.
Very truly yours,
/s/ David Lubin
