Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of Innova Holdings, Inc. ("Innova" or the "Company"), please
accept this letter as the Company's response to the comments of the reviewing
Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") as set forth
in the comment letter of October 28, 2005.
Registration Statement on Form SB-2, as amended
Prospectus Cover Page
1. We refer you to comment 1 of our letter dated October 12, 2005.
Please revise to state if true, Cornell Capital Partners is an
underwriter as opposed to "is deemed" an underwriter. Please advise
why you believe Monitor Capital and the selling shareholders to be
underwriters; we note that Monitor is reselling shares received as
transaction-based compensation. Please also remove the sentence that
follows or supplementally support the statement.
Response:
We have revised throughout the prospectus, where applicable, to disclose
that Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. is an underwriter as opposed to "is deemed"
an underwriter. In addition, we have removed all statements which disclose that
Monitor Capital and the additional selling stockholders are underwriters of the
shares of common stock being offered for resale under this prospectus.
Risk Factors, page 5
2. We refer you to comment 2 of our letter dated October 12, 2005.
Please clarify whether your disclosure controls and procedures are
currently effective. To the extent that they are currently
ineffective, please describe any material risks to potential
investors. Further, with respect to your controls and procedures it
appears that your Form 8-K, filed October 19, 2005, may have been
filed late. Please advise.
<PAGE>
Response:
We have revised the risk factor with respect to management's conclusion
that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over
financial reporting were ineffective as December 31, 2004, and March 31, June
30, and September 30, 2005, to disclose the remedial actions and certain changes
in internal controls of the Company which the Company has undertaken, and plans
to undertake, to insure that all of the information required to be reported in
the Company's periodic reports was recorded, processed, summarized, and
reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms.
In addition, we have disclosed the material risks to investors in connection
therewith. Management has concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures
and internal controls over financial reporting are effective as of October 31,
2005
Further, with respect to the timeliness of the Company's Current Report on
Form 8-K which was filed on October 19, 2005, the Company takes the position
that individually, each of the loans made by certain insiders and existing
shareholders, as well as the debenture issued to Cornell Capital, was not
material when compared to the overall debt position of the Company, which as of
June 30, 2005 was an aggregate of $3,344,445. It was not until the final loan of
$30,000 was made on October 17, 2005, which resulted in an aggregate of $240,000
in debt obligations, inclusive of the short term loans and the debenture issued
to Cornell Capital, that the Company determined such aggregated amount was
material to require the filing of a Form 8-K to disclose such aggregated loans.
Accordingly, the Company believes that the date of the event which required the
filing of the Form 8-K was October 17, 2005, the date in which the final short
term loan of $30,000 was made to the Company.
Selling Stockholders, page 13
3. We note your response to comment 3 of our letter dated October 12,
2005. It appears from information available on Cornell Capital
Partners website and from your Placement Agent Agreement that
Cornell Capital Partners West Coast office and Monitor Capital share
the same suite in San Diego. Please tell us whether Cornell Capital
or any equity owners, officers or directors of Cornell Capital hold
equity interests in Monitor Capital. Please describe any such
ownership interests in Monitor Capital.
<PAGE>
Response:
We have been advised by Monitor Capital and Cornell Capital Partners that
other than sharing Cornell's San Diego offices, which was negotiated at arms
length, there is no cross-ownership and no cross-management between Monitor and
Cornell. Accordingly, we have been advised that Cornell and its equity owners,
officers, or directors, do not hold equity interests in Monitor Capital and that
Monitor and its equity owners, officers, or directors, do not hold equity
interests in Cornell.
4. Further, we refer you to comment 2 of out letter dated September 2,
2005. Please describe more fully the specific services performed by
Monitor as your placement agent, including a discussion of the
actions taken as part of the review and advice process. Please also
advise as the timing of their review and value of services since we
note that the Placement Agent Agreement was entered into the same
day as the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (June 14, 2005). In
this regard, your Form SB-2 disclosure notes that the purpose of
entering into a private placement agreement with Monitor was to
"advise the Company with respect to the terms" of the equity line
agreement, however, both agreements were signed the same day.
Response:
Monitor Capital is an unaffiliated broker-dealer. They provide typical
broker-dealer services to the Company. In addition, in connection with the
Equity Line of Credit, the services they provided the Company consisted of
reviewing the documents in connection with the Equity Line of Credit prior to
the execution of definitive agreements between the parties, advising the Company
on the mechanics of the transaction and explaining how the equity line of credit
impacts the Company financially, including the limitations and restrictions on
the drawdowns, the dilutive effect of the drawdowns with respect to the existing
shareholders of the Company and the fairness of the fee structure Cornell
Capital proposed in the transaction. Based in part on the advise of Monitor
Capital, the Company determined to enter into definitive agreements in
connection with the transaction. Although the Placement Agent Agreement was
executed on the same day as the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (June 14,
2005), Monitor Capital was providing the aforementioned services to the Company
prior to the execution of said agreement since they had a chance to evaluate the
details of the transaction by obtaining in advance draft documentation in
connection with the transaction.
Supplemental response with proposed revisions to your Form 10-KSB/A for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 filed on July 29, 2005 and submitted on
October 17, 2005
5. We refer you to your response to comment 6 of our letter dated
October 12, 2005. While we note your intent to update your
"Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation" section
as costs are incurred, please ensure to include in your "Liquidity
and Capital Resources" subsection in the Form 10-QSB for the quarter
ended September 30, 2005, if applicable, a discussion of how
material costs associated with your remediation measures may effect
your liquidity. Please also revise the above-referenced Form SB-2 as
well.
Response:
<PAGE>
The "Liquidity and Capital Resources" subsection in the Company's Form

Supplemental response with proposed revisions to your Form 10-QSB for the fiscal
quarter ended June 30, 2005 filed August 22, 2005 and submitted on October 17,
2005
6. We note your response to comment 9 of our letter dated October 12,
2005 that states there were changes in your internal controls over
financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter
that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect your internal control over financial reporting. However, your
revised disclosure discusses only "remedial actions," relating to
your material weakness. Please confirm there were no changes besides
remedial measures disclosed that materially affect your internal
control over financial reporting.
Response:
The Company has advised us that there were no changes in addition to the
remedial measures previously disclosed that materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over
financial reporting.
Form 8-K filed October 19, 2005
7. Please revise your Form SB-2 including your "Selling Stockholders,"
"Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation" and
"Certain Relationships and Related Transaction" sections to
incorporate the information contained in this Form 8-K. Please
ensure to prominently describe the fact that the Company will pay to
Cornell all revenues it receives until the principal and accrued
interest has been paid in full.
Response:
We have revised the Company's registration statement on Form SB-2 under
the headings "Selling Stockholders," "Management's Discussion and Analysis or
Plan of Operation" and "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" to
incorporate the information contained in the Company's Current Report on Form
8-K which was filed on October 19, 2005. In addition, we have prominently
disclosed the fact that the Company will pay to Cornell all revenues it receives
until the principal and accrued interest has been paid in full.
8. We note that you filed this Form 8-K October 19, 2005 for a
reportable event that took place on October 7, 2005. Please advise
as to your belief of the timeliness of this filing.
Response:
As discussed in the second paragraph to our response to comment number 2,
with respect to the timeliness of the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K which
was filed on October 19, 2005, the Company takes the position that individually,
each of the loans made by certain insiders and existing shareholders, as well as
the debenture issued to Cornell Capital, was not material when compared to the
overall debt position of the Company, which as of June 30, 2005 was an aggregate
of $3,344,445. It was not until the final loan of $30,000 was made on October
17, 2005, which resulted in an aggregate of $240,000 in debt obligations,
inclusive of the short term loans and the debenture issued to Cornell Capital,
that the Company determined such aggregated amount was material to require the
filing of a Form 8-K to disclose such aggregated loans. Accordingly, the Company
believes that the date of the event which required the filing of the Form 8-K
was October 17, 2005, the date in which the final short term loan of $30,000 was
made to the Company.

9. Please advise as to the closing date of the financing related to the
Cornell Capital private placement discussed in this 8-K. Please also
confirm that as of that date all funds were released from escrow and
that there are no further obligations of the Escrow Agent.
Response:
The closing date of the financing related to the Cornell Capital private
placement as discussed in the Form 8-K was October 7, 2005. In addition, we have
been advised by the Company and Cornell that as of October 7, 2005, all funds
were released to the Company from escrow and that there are no further
obligations of the Escrow Agent.
Very Truly Yours,
/s/ Eric A. Pinero
