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 are
filing today under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), amendment no. 1 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 April
15, 2005.
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:
GENERAL
PROSPECTUS SUMMARY - PAGE 1
1. PLEASE REVISE THE SUMMARY TO BRIEFLY DESCRIBE YOUR FINANCIAL POSITION
AS OF THE MOST RECENT PRACTICAL DATE. ALSO, DISCLOSE, IF TRUE, THAT YOU
WILL NEED TO RAISE BETWEEN $30 MILLION AND $50 MILLION IN ADDITIONAL
FUNDS OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS AND THAT YOU HAVE NOT SECURED ANY SOURCES
OF THOSE FUNDS. FOR CLARITY, PLEASE REVISE THE SECOND PARAGRAPH TO
IDENTIFY THE PRODUCT FOR WHICH YOU DEVELOPED A PROTOTYPE IN MAY 2004.
FOR EXAMPLE, IS THE PROTOTYPE OF YOUR EFS-4 PRODUCT? PLEASE EXPAND THE
LAST SENTENCE OF THE SECOND PARAGRAPH TO QUANTIFY, TO THE EXTENT
PRACTICABLE, THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING THAT IT IS ANTICIPATED WILL BE
REQUIRED TO "EASE CORPORATE FISCAL RESTRAINTS" AND THE ANTICIPATED
TIMETABLE IN RAISING THOSE FUNDS
We have added the following language on page 1 to update our
financial position:
"At December 31, 2004, we had current assets of $1,012 and
current liabilities of $2,401,260. As a result, we had a
working capital deficit of $2,400,248 at December 31, 2004. We
had current cash assets of $259.74 as of April 19, 2005. We
anticipate raising $700,000 within 90 days of the registration
statement accompanying this prospectus being declared
effective. Of this amount, we expect to receive $450,000 as
proceeds from the sale of convertible debentures to Cornell
Capital under our securities purchase agreement with them and
$250,000 from other unaffiliated third parties through loans
and financing arrangements. Upon our receipt of these funds,
we expect fiscal restraints should ease, and we should be able
to procure the components and services for our prototype
custom board design. Testing our prototype should occur within
two months afterwards"
In response to staff's comments regarding the need for
additional capital, we have added the following disclosure to
page 1.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

"Nevertheless, we expect that, in the next two years, we will
need to raise $30 million to $50 million to fund additional
acquisitions, current and future projects (see "RISK FACTORS -
WE WILL NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO FINANCE
OPERATIONS"). Of this amount, we anticipate a need to raise
between $10 million to $20 million to finance our expenses
from operations and capital expenditures over the next twelve
months (including professional fees; lab, test and
manufacturing equipment; tooling; production costs; inventory
costs and software) We currently do not have any financing
arrangements or agreements in place to obtain the funds
necessary to cover these operational expenses and capital
expenditures."
We have revised the second paragraph on page 1 to identify the
EFS-4 as the prototype developed in May 2004.
THE SALE OF COMMON STOCK FOLLOWING......SHORT SALES.......DECLINE - PAGE 12
2. PLEASE CLARIFY WHETHER CORNELL MAY ALSO ENGAGE IN SHORT SALES PRIOR TO
THE CONVERSION OF ALL OF THE CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES ISSUED OR TO BE
ISSUED UNDER THE SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT.
We have added to this risk factor on page 12 a parenthetical
which cross references the disclosure that Cornell Capital
does not intend to engage in short sales of our common stock.
CONDITIONS OF SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT -- PAGE 16
3. WE NOTE YOUR STATEMENT THAT CORNELL HAS AGREED TO EXTEND THE TIME YOU
HAVE FOR THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT TO BE DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNTIL
APRIL 15, 2005. PLEASE REVISE WHERE APPROPRIATE THROUGHOUT YOUR
PROSPECTUS TO CLARIFY THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT HAVING YOUR REGISTRATION
STATEMENT DECLARED EFFECTIVE BY APRIL 15, 2005.
In response to staff's comments, we have revised the
prospectus and added the following language to page 16.
"In the event the registration statement accompanying this
prospectus is not declared effective by April 30, 2005, the
holder of convertible debentures can seek any remedy available
under contract, at law or in equity including the right to
collect liquidated damages and the right to call a default
Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we are obligated to
pay as liquidated damages to the holder of convertible
debentures, at the holder's option, either a cash amount or
shares of our common stock within three (3) business days
after demand is made equal to two percent of the liquidated
value of the convertible debentures outstanding for each
thirty day period after April 30, 2005. The payment of
liquidated damages does not constitute a penalty and does not
preclude the holder from seeking other remedies. In the event
of default which is not cured within ten days of receipt of
written notice, the holder of convertible debentures is
entitled to accelerate full repayment of all debentures
outstanding and accrued interest thereon or to convert all
debentures outstanding and accrued interest thereon into
shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to the
lower of (i) 150% of the lowest initial bid price of our
common stock as submitted by a market maker and approved by
the NASD or (ii) 50% of the lowest closing bid price of our
common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding
the conversion date. All of our assets can be sold and
transferred to satisfy any unpaid obligations due the holder
and we are obligated to pay all reasonable expenses including
attorneys' fees in connection with the disposition of any
pledged property. Cornell Capital would not be obligated to
purchase any additional debentures."

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION - PAGE 18
4. PLEASE REVISE THE DISCLOSURE TO DESCRIBE MORE SPECIFICALLY THE CURRENT
PLANS OF THE SELLING SHAREHOLDERS, PARTICULARLY CORNELL CAPITAL AND
TREY RESOURCES TO DISTRIBUTE THEIR SHARES. FOR EXAMPLE, YOUR REVISED
DISCLOSURES MIGHT INCLUDE, AMONG OTHER THINGS, A DISCUSSION OF THE
EXTENT TO WHICH, IF AT ALL, CORNELL CAPITAL AND TREY RESOURCES MAY SELL
THE REGISTERED SHARES IMMEDIATELY AFTER CONVERSION OF THE CONVERTIBLE
DEBENTURES AND THE EXTENT TO WHICH, IF AT ALL, CORNELL CAPITAL AND TREY
RESOURCES MAY USE THE REGISTERED SHARES TO COVER OUTSTANDING SHORT
POSITIONS.
We have amplified our disclosures on page 19 to add the
following paragraph:
"We are not aware of any other plans or arrangements that any
selling stockholder has made with respect to the sale or
distribution of shares. In particular, it is our understanding
that Trey Resources and Cornell Capital have no specific plans
for distribution or sale of our common stock, but intend to
monitor and consider marketplace conditions and the trading
price of our common stock. Cornell Capital has informed us in
writing that it does not intend to engage in short sales of
our common stock. In that communication, Cornell Capital noted
that it is deemed to be the beneficial owner of the shares
issuable upon conversion of its convertible debentures, and
therefore may sell such shares after conversion. Similarly,
Trey Resources is also unrestricted from selling shares
registered for resale following conversion of its convertible
debentures."
We would note for the staff, supplementally, that it is our
intention in the near future to pursue a more traditional
financing arrangement than an equity line agreement, if
available to us. In any event, we expect to avoid any
financing arrangements that might generate a conflict with our
current arrangements, such as entering into an equity line
arrangement with Cornell Capital prior to their conversion of
all convertible debentures, unless appropriate restrictions
are in place.
A copy of Cornell Capital's written communication is provided
supplementally by an attachment to this letter.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT - PAGE 27
5. PLEASE UPDATE THE TWO TABLES THAT APPEAR ON PAGE 30, INCLUDING THE
REFERENCES IN THE TABLES TO MILESTONES IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2004
AND THE COSTS TO BE INCURRED IN ACHIEVING THE MILESTONES IN THE SECOND
HALF OF 2004 AND THE FIRST HALF OF 2005. ALSO, CLARIFY THE AGGREGATE
COST OF THE SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL ITEMS TO BE PURCHASED FOR THE EFS-4
PRODUCT. IN ADDITION, CLARIFY WHETHER THAT COST IS INCLUDED IN THE
AMOUNTS IN THE SECOND TABLE ON PAGE 30.
In response to staff's comment, the two tables on page 30 have
been updated, and we have added the following language for
clarification:
"The costs consist of engineering salaries, related travel and
entertainment, professional fees, prototypes, lab and test
equipment, imager expenses, fabrication equipment, tooling and
software which are also included in items c) through g) of the
table of expected purchase of significant equipment on page
27. The aggregate cost of significant capital items
attributable to the EFS-4 total $2,100,000 and are reflected
in that table in items c) through e) and g) through the 4th
quarter of 2005. The $500,000 imager cost indicated in item f)
for the third and fourth quarters of 2005 is attributable to
the EFS-10. The EFS-4 capital item costs are also included in
the second table below."

purposes and to pay the 10% commitment fee."
