Attention: David Ritenour
Special Counsel
RE: VOYAGER ONE, INC.
FORM SB-2, FILED ON AUGUST 26, 2004
Dear Mr. Ritenour:
On behalf of our client, Voyager One, Inc. ("Voyager" or the "Company"), we
anticipate filing later this week under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), amendment no. 2 to the Company's registration statement
on Form SB-2. The amendment to Form SB-2 will be filed for the purpose of
responding to comments contained in a letter from the Securities and Exchange
Commission dated December 8, 2004.
In the hope of expediting the process of responding to the staff's comments, we
have set forth below our responses to the staff's letter, including, wherever
feasible, the text of revisions and additions to the SB-2. For ease of
reference, we have included below the text of the staff's letter, and our
responses are structured to correspond to the comment numbers from that letter.
The Company has requested that we respond as follows to the staff's comments:

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY - PAGE 1
---------------------------
1. WE NOTE YOUR RESPONSE TO COMMENT 5. PLEASE SUPPLEMENTALLY PROVIDE US
WITH INDEPENDENT OBJECTIVE SUPPORT FOR THE INDUSTRY DATA DISCLOSED IN
THIS SECTION. PLEASE ALSO TELL US WHETHER THE PHOTO MARKETING
ASSOCIATION AND IMERGE CONSULTING GROUP HAVE EACH CONSENTED TO YOUR USE
OF THE MARKET DATA YOU CITE IN YOUR PROSPECTUS AND YOUR ASSOCIATED
REFERENCES TO THEM AS THE SOURCES OF THAT INFORMATION AND, IF SO,
SUPPLEMENTALLY PROVIDE US WITH COPIES OF THOSE CONSENTS.
We are furnishing page 52 of Chapter 5, "Camera Ownership and
Purchasing Plans" of the 2004-PMA U.S. Consumer Photo Buying
Report from which we have cited market data. The market data
therein indicates that in 2003, 55% of U.S. households owned
35mm cameras and 20.5% owned 35mm SLR cameras. The total
number of U.S. households in 2003 was 111,278,000 derived from
the U.S. Census Bureau, Current Population Survey, 2003 Annual
Social and Economic Supplement, Table AVG1, "Average Number of
People per Household by Race and Hispanic Origin/1, Marital
Status, Age, and Education of Householder: 2003," a copy of

which will also be forwarded. The total number of 35mm camera
owners in 2003 is therefore 61,202,900 (0.55 x 111,278,000)
and 35mm SLR camera owners is 22,811,990 (0.205 x
111,278,000). We rounded off the numbers in our discussion.
Voyager One, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Silicon
Film Technologies, Inc., are members of the Photo Marketing
Association (PMA). A member of the PMA can quote research data
published by the PMA directly or use it to arrive at a
secondary estimate without specific consent as long as the
source of the data is indicated.
We are also furnishing page 6 of a custom report by Imerge,
"SLR Forecast 2002-2006" from which we have cited market data
together with the executed consent from Imerge Consulting
Group.
2. WE NOTE YOUR RESPONSE TO COMMENT 8. PLEASE UPDATE THE STATUS OF YOUR
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS, INCLUDING THE DEVELOPMENT "OF THE FINAL
FORM FACTOR PRODUCT FOR TESTING IN THE FOURTH QUARTER."
We have revised the disclosure on page 1 to read as follows:
"Development of this prototype continues to progress. The
detailed electrical circuit schematics and mechanical design
specifications are near completion. Because of corporate
fiscal restraints, procurement of the testing prototype has
been delayed due to costs associated with the purchase of
components and services for custom board design. Once these
restraints have been eased, the procurement of the components
and services can commence and the start of prototype testing
is anticipated to occur within two months thereafter."
3. PLEASE CLARIFY THE PHRASES "FINAL FORM FACTOR," "CO-BRANDING" AND
"BUNDLING."
We have deleted reference to "a final form factor" on page 1
as indicated in response to comment no. 2 above to avoid
confusion. We have added the following to the disclosure on
page 2 to read as follows:
" `Co-branding' is the practice of using two brand names on a
single product to gain advantages of increased market share or
recognition.
" `Bundling' is the packaging of products together at one
price that is usually less than the price of the individual
products if purchased separately to increase the appeal to
potential customers. Bundling is intended to increase
exposure, recognition and market share while reducing
advertising and marketing costs."
THE OFFERING - PAGE 3
4. WE NOTE YOUR RESPONSE TO COMMENTS 10 AND 19. THE NUMBER OF SHARES TO BE
REGISTERED FOR RESALE MUST BE BASED ON A GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE OF THE
NUMBER OF SHARES TO BE ISSUED UPON CONVERSION OF THE CONVERTIBLE
DEBENTURES; IT MAY NOT SIMPLY BE BASED ON UNSUPPORTABLE ASSUMPTIONS OR
CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENTS WITH INVESTORS. IF YOUR GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE IS
THAT THE DEBENTURES WILL BE CONVERTIBLE BASED ON A $2.50 CLOSING BID
PRICE, THEN YOU MAY ONLY REGISTER THE NUMBER OF SHARES THAT WOULD BE
ISSUABLE UPON SUCH CONVERSION BASED ON THE PRESCRIBED CONVERSION PRICE
FORMULA. IF YOUR GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE IS THAT THE DEBENTURES WILL BE
CONVERTIBLE BASED ON A LOWER CLOSING BID PRICE, THEN YOU MAY ALSO
REGISTER THE ADDITIONAL NUMBER OF SHARES THAT WOULD BE ISSUABLE GIVEN
THAT LOWER PRICE BASED ON THE PRESCRIBED CONVERSION PRICE FORMULA.
REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF YOUR GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE, PLEASE
SUPPLEMENTALLY PROVIDE US WITH A DETAILED EXPLANATION OF THE BASIS FOR
THAT ESTIMATE, AND PLEASE REVISE SO THAT THE DISCLOSURES THROUGHOUT
<PAGE>

YOUR PROSPECTUS (INCLUDING, IN PARTICULAR, YOUR DILUTION DISCLOSURES
AND THE DISCLOSURES IN AND PRECEDING YOUR SELLING STOCKHOLDERS TABLE)
ARE CONSISTENT WITH THAT ESTIMATE.
We prepared and analyzed information utilizing current and pro
forma data including profit and loss statements, balance
sheets, statements of cash flows, budgets and market data
Projected earnings were analyzed utilizing various discount
rates and EBIT multipliers. In preparing these financial
projections, we included the commitment of $1,100,000 in
bridge financing from Cornell Capital pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement and the $20,000,000 equity line
under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement in our
evaluation. With this increased capital we expect to be able
to continue execution of our business plan. Our increased
revenue and earnings potential was factored into our analysis.
Since we are a development stage company, we do not have a
trading history from which to analyze past performance in
forecasting future performance. Also, since our product is
unique in the industry, there are not similarly publicly
traded companies from which to obtain price/earnings multiples
in determining value. We therefore evaluated our worth based
on our projected earnings discounted to present value taking
into account market conditions and determined that a present
valuation of $40,000,000 was consistent with the data. Based
on this $40,000,000 dollar valuation and current issued and
outstanding shares of 15,600,000 it was determined that a
price of $2.50 per share would be the offering price used in
our initial registration statement filed in August. The number
of shares outstanding has remained the same since the filing
of this registration statement. We understand that the market
can be very volatile and that our stock price will self-adjust
once we begin trading.

5. WE NOTE YOUR REVISIONS TO THIS SECTION AND YOUR DISCLOSURE THAT, UNDER
THE TERMS OF THE SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT, CORNELL CAPITAL
PARTNERS "CAN PURCHASE UP TO $1,100,000 IN CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES FROM
VOYAGER ONE." PLEASE FURTHER REVISE YOUR DISCLOSURE TO CLARIFY THE
NATURE AND EXTENT OF CORNELL CAPITAL PARTNERS' OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE
THE ADDITIONAL $575,000 IN CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES THAT HAVE NOT YET
BEEN ISSUED, INCLUDING THE ANTICIPATED TIMING OF THOSE ADDITIONAL
INVESTMENTS. PLEASE ALSO CLARIFY ANY CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH CORNELL
CAPITAL PARTNERS WOULD NOT BE OBLIGATED TO PURCHASE THE ADDITIONAL
DEBENTURES.
We have revised and added to the disclosure on page 17 to read
as follows:
"On August 26, 2004, Voyager One issued a 5% convertible
debenture to Cornell Capital for $125,000 which becomes due on
August 26, 2007. On November 16, 2004, Voyager One issued a 5%
convertible debenture to Cornell Capital for $125,000 which
becomes due on November 16, 2007.
"Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, Cornell Capital has
agreed to purchase up to $1,100,000 of convertible debentures
from Voyager One subject to certain conditions in that
agreement as described below. We have issued $650,000 in
convertible debentures to Cornell Capital. There remains an
additional $450,000 in convertible debentures to be issued
under that agreement. Cornell Capital is obligated to purchase
an additional $100,000 of convertible debentures provided that
we have obtained authorization to have our common stock quoted

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Page 4
on one of the limited number of principal trading exchanges or
markets, that the quotations of our common stock have
commenced and that we have executed and delivered the $100,000
convertible debenture. We have applied for quotation on the
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, which is a qualifying
principal market under the agreement. If our common stock is
not accepted for quotation on a qualifying market, we will not
be able to execute our business plan, including the
commercialization of our prototype product and Cornell Capital
will not be obligated to purchase any additional debentures.
"Cornell Capital is obligated to purchase an additional
$350,000 of convertible debentures provided that the
registration statement accompanying this prospectus is
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission,
there is no stop order or suspension proceeding affecting its
effectiveness, and we have executed and delivered the $350,000
convertible debenture.
"The agreement further provides that we must abide by certain
covenants. We must use the proceeds obtained from the purchase
of the convertible debentures for general corporate and
working capital purposes. As long as convertible debentures
are outstanding, we cannot issue or sell our common stock or
preferred stock to unaffiliated third parties for below-market
prices (generally, below a discount of 40% of the then-current
bid price), and we cannot issue or sell such securities at any
discount to the then-current bid price to related parties
other than the holder of the convertible debenture which
includes any officer, director or holder of 10% or more of our
outstanding capital stock. We cannot enter into any security
instrument with an unrelated party granting them a security
interest in any of the assets of our company.
"The Securities Purchase Agreement also provides that as long
as convertible debentures are outstanding, we cannot enter
into, amend, modify or supplement any agreement with any of
our officers, directors, persons who were officers or
directors for the previous two years, beneficial owners of 5%
or more of our common stock or certain affiliates (defined as
a person or entity that controls, shares common control with,
has 10% or more equity interest in or common ownership with
that person or entity) or with any relation by blood, marriage
or adoption to such individuals or entities except for
customary employment arrangements and benefit programs on
reasonable terms, any investment in an affiliate of our, any
agreement on an arms-length basis on terms no less favorable
than terms which would have been obtainable from a person
other than a related party or for any agreement which is
approved by a majority of our disinterested directors. A
director who is also an officer is not considered
disinterested."
