RE:
Ultra
Pure Water Technologies, Inc.
Item
4.01 Form 8-K
Filed

File
No. 000-28267
Dear
Ms.
Halac:
This
letter has been prepared in response to your request for Ultra Pure Water
Technologies, Inc. (“UPWT”
or the
“Company”)
to
respond to the comments of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”
or the
“Commission”)
as
memorialized in your August 10, 2005 letter to Daniel D. LeBlanc (the
“Comment
Letter”)
concerning the above-referenced Item 4.01 of Form 8-K (the “Form
8-K”).
Concurrently
with the filing of this Response Letter, the Company is also filing an
Amendment
to the Form 8-K (the “Amended
Form 8-K”),
which
Amended Form 8-K incorporates, as appropriate, the responses of the Company
contained herein.
The
following are the Company’s responses to the Comment Letter, which responses
follow a recitation of the relevant comment.
Item
4.01 of Form 8-K
COMMENT
1:
The
statement by the company that Rachlin Cohen & Holtz has been engaged
as your independent accountant implies that the company had a
previous
auditor. Item 304 of Regulation S-B describes the disclosure
requirements
of the Item 4.01 on Form 8-K. In order for the former accountants
to
submit to you the letter required by Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation
S-B, a
copy of the filing should be furnished to them as soon as possible,
but no
later than the date you file the Form 8-K with the Commission.
The
accountant’s letter should be filed with the Commission as an exhibit to
the 8-K when initially filed or as a subsequent amendment thereto
no later
than 10 days after the initial Form 8-K was filed.
RESPONSE
1:
UPWT
is formerly Hundred Mile Plus LTD., Inc. and VDO.com. In June
2001,
Crouch, Bierwolf & Chisholm, LLP (“Crouch”),
independent certified public accountants, previously engaged
as the
principal accountants to audit the financial statements of
VDO.com, Inc.,
resigned as auditors of VDO.com. The Board of Directors of
VDO.com
accepted, but did not recommend or approve Crouch’s resignation. The
Company disclosed the resignation of Crouch in the Form 8-K
filed with the
Commission on February 5, 2002 (File No.
000-28267).
In
June 2001, Zakheim, Roth & Co. LLP (“Zakheim”)
also resigned as an independent certified public accounting
firm for the
VDO.com. Zakheim resigned because it was not registered with
the
Commission and therefore it was unable to audit the VDO.com.
VDO.com’s
Board of Directors accepted, but did not recommend or approve,
Zackeim’s
resignation.
The
Company has revised the Amended Form 8-K to include the disclosure
requirements of Item 304 of Regulation S-B as requested by the
Commission.
The Amended Form 8-K also contains, as an exhibit thereto, the
letter from
Zakheim required by Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation
S-B.
Should
you have any questions concerning this Response Letter or the Amended Form
8-K,
please contact me at (337) 233-7317.
Very
truly yours,
/s/
Daniel D. LeBlanc
