Re:
Stereo Vision Entertainment
Your Letter of April 14, 2005
Dear SEC:
The following proposed language or amended charts are offered for preliminary
review prior to the re-filing of the 10QSB's and 10KSB that would contain the respective
modifications. They are keyed to the numbers of the April 14, 2005 letter.
1.
Liquidity and capital Resources/Form 10KSB
The following rewritten section would be provided in the 10KSB in the Item 6
sector concerning Management's Discussion and Analysis:
PLAN OF OPERATIONS - The following discussion should be read in
conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements.
SVEI intends to pursue opportunities in four product segments of the
entertainment industry:
Direct to DVD 2-D and 3-D films
Feature length 2-D and 3-D films for theatrical release
Pilots for television series
Music production
StereoVision intends to be the only company in Hollywood focused on developing a
library of films using 3-D technology. The company intends to develop four new scripts
for Direct-to-DVD movies each year and will concentrate on the most popular genres
including horror, visual thrillers, sci-fi CGI effect movies, comedies and family films.
The company also plans to develop its own record label out of Nashville, Tennessee and
will focus its initial efforts on the production and distribution of compilation albums.
As a development stage company, SVEI has minimal historical operations, no revenues
and negative cash flows. In order to satisfy cash requirements for SVEI's production and
revenue goals, management must obtain working capital through either debt or equity
financing.
The entertainment industry is an intensely competitive one, where price, service,
location, and quality are critical factors. The Company has many established competitors,
ranging from similar local single unit operations to large multi-national operations. The
entertainment industry may be affected by changes in customer tastes, economic, and
demographic trends. Factors such as inflation, increased supplies costs and the
availability of suitable employees may adversely affect the entertainment industry in
general and the Company in particular. In view of the Company's limited financial
resources and management availability, the Company will continue to be at a significant
competitive disadvantage vis-a-vis the Company's competitors.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - There were no revenues from sales for the two years
ended June 30, 2003 and 2004. SVEI has sustained a net loss of approximately $2.9
million for the year ended June 30, 2004, which was largely attributable to consulting
expense from stock issuances to consultants. From May 5, 1999, the Company was a
development stage company and had not begun principal operations. Accordingly,
comparisons with prior periods are not meaningful.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has developed a detailed plan of operations to exploit the opportunities it
sees in the entertainment industry and to take advantage of the skills and experience of its
management team. On a preliminary basis, the Company estimates that it will require
approximately $1,000,000 to operate the company over a period of 12 months as well as
to fund the completion of several scripts for feature length films and the production of
several compilation albums. In order to fund the actual production of a feature film, the
Company estimates it will require approximately an additional $3,000,000 which it will
obtain from a variety of sources including partner distributors, tax rebates for on site
production in certain jurisdictions as well as debt and equity sources. The Company may
attempt to arrange joint ventures with studios to facilitate the development of new
movies.
The aforementioned estimates of capital required are still preliminary in nature and are
subject to substantial and continuing revisions. Although the Company has not yet
commenced any formal capital raising efforts, the Company expects that any capital that
it raises will be in the form of one or more debt or equity financings. However, there can
be no assurances that the Company will be successful in raising any required capital on a
timely basis and/or under acceptable terms and conditions. To the extent that the
Company does not raise sufficient capital to implement its plan of operations on a timely
basis, it will have to curtail, revise and/or delay its business plans. The Company has
financed its operations to date from the sale of stock and loans from related parties.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Company received approximately $448,000
from the sale of common stock and $112,000 from related party loans. However, there
can be no assurances that additional loans will be forthcoming from officers, directors,
and shareholders.
2.
Controls and Procedures/Form 10KSB and Form 10QSB
Item 3 of the 10QSB would be amended to read as follows:
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are
responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the
Company.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the company carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
management, including the company's President, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Based
upon the evaluation, the company's President concluded that, as of the end of the period,
the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting him
to material information relating to the Company required to be included in the reports
that the Company files and submits pursuant to the Exchange Act.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls
Based on his evaluation as of December 31, 2004, there were no significant
changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting or in any other areas
that could significantly affect the Company's internal controls subsequent to the date of
his most recent evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Statements of Operations/Financial Statements page F-4
Response: The amounts included in
"loss on investment" and "lawsuit
settlement" have been presented within operating losses on the report. The amount for
"gain (loss) on trading investments" was the gain on disposal of "available for sale
securities" that were acquired in the acquisition of Kestrel Equity Corporation on
December 3, 1999. The report will be revised to show this as a "gain (loss) on available
for sale securities." The Company is not in the business of trading securities, therefore
this should be included in "Other Income (Expense)". Footnote 6 will be expanded
to explain the $75,000 non-operating expense captioned "investment fee."
