Attention: Meagan Caldwell, Staff Accountant
Dear Ms. Caldwell:
We have reviewed your letter dated March 1, 2005 regarding
the filings of Forms 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004 and 10-QSB
for the period ended November 30, 2004 for Ikona Gear International, Inc. (“the
Company”) for (File No. 0-49664). We hereby provide you with our following
responses relative to your questions:
1.)
By way of this letter we advise you of our proposed
additional disclosures and to be applied prospectively to future 10-KSB
and 10-QSB filings.
2.)
We acknowledge that, in connection with our responses
to your questions, that:
the Company is responsible for the adequacy and
accuracy of the disclosure in their filings;
our comments or changes to disclosure in response
to SEC staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking
any action with respect to the filing; and
the Company may not asset staff comments as a
defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person
under the federal securities laws of the United States.
3.)
We believe we have adequately disclosed our accounting
policy for measuring compensation costs for employees and non-employees
in our significant accounting policy note (Note 3(h)). We believe further
clarification may be desirable for our significant accounting policy note,
to ensure no misinterpretations of its application, as in Note 8 to our
form 10-KSB/A for August 31, 2004 We propose to add the following wording
to the accounting policy note for stock options:
-
“the Company generally grants stock options
with exercise prices equal to, or in excess of, the quoted market price
at the date of the stock option grant”
-
The Company calculates compensation expense associated
with non- employee stock-based compensation plans using the Black-Scholes
model to estimate the fair value of options granted to non-employees.
The Company classifies non-employee compensation expense according to
the nature of services provided.
Our Note 8 to the financial statements
as presented in the Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended August 31, 2004 provides
disclosure of the compensation expense associated with the application
of SFAS 123 and our accounting policy for non-employee stock option compensation.
Note 8 also provides the assumptions used in applying the Black-Scholes
method to estimate the fair value of options issued to non-employees.
We trust that the above disclosures will provide suitable additional disclosures regarding the queries raised in your letter of March 1, 2005.
