RE: National Parking Systems, Inc.
Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004
Form 10-QSB for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005
File No. 000-49933
Dear Ms. Crittendon:
In response to your letter dated September 7, 2005, National Parking
Systems, Inc. (the "Company") has the following responses:
FORM 10-KSB
------------
ITEM 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, PAGES 3 - 10
-------------------------------------------------------
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, PAGES 3-5
----------------------------------
1) The $200,000 in notes payable was with the Company's wholly owned subsidiary,
Cascade Mountain Mining Corp. ("Cascade") and was assigned to Cascade and
Cascade's Chief Executive Officer (who is also the Company's former Chief
Executive Officer) pursuant to a General Release and Settlement Agreement, filed
as Exhibit 10.14 to the Company's 10-KSB. Cascade was spun off prior to the
Stock Exchange Agreement with BH Holding Company, Inc. and ABS Holding Company,
Inc. Therefore, the Company believes it had no responsibility for such debt.
Please refer to "Note H Commitments and Contingencies-Other" of the Company's
audited 10-KSB financials and "Note D Commitments and Contingencies" of the
Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.
With respect to the $201,930 of shareholder loans, such loans were released
by the shareholders pursuant to the General Release and Settlement Agreement
<PAGE>
prior to the Stock Exchange Agreement. Accordingly, such debt which was
forgiven was taken into income prior to the Stock Exchange Agreement and change
of control.
ITEM 6 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPARISON OF OPERATING REVENUE, PAGES 13-14
-------------------------------------------------
FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2003, PAGE 13
---------------
2) By "changes in the Company's accounting practice" the Company meant only that
it had put stricter controls and procedures in place with respect to the money
which its employees received. There was no actual change in the Company's
"accounting practices" which would require GAAP support or otherwise. The
Company plans to file an amended 10-KSB which will revise and clarify the
Company's statement regarding "changes in [its] accounting practices" subsequent
to the filing of this response letter.
ITEM 7-FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------------------------
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT, PAGE F-5
----------------------------------------------------------------
3) National Parking Systems, Inc. is the private operating company. The
Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Deficit on page F-5 of the Company's
audited financial statements shows the historical deficit of the private
operating company, which is $66,812. This deficit includes $1,559 of deficit
from the public company which could not be capitalized and which was deemed not
to be significant.
NOTE A-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, PAGES F-6 TO F-8
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL
-------
4) The Company recognizes revenue for the valet and parking establishments when
the service is performed. Cash is collected immediately and deposited in the
bank the next day with proper reconciliation and accountability. In connection
with the booting services, revenue is recognized when the service is performed.
REVERSE MERGER, PAGE F-6
---------------------------
5) The Company believes that both ABS Holding Company, Inc. and BH Holding
Company, Inc. were under common control at the time of their acquisition, as
each was controlled by Marc Ebersole, who also serves as Chief Executive Officer
of the Company, and consequently, they were treated as the Accounting Acquirers
within the reverse acquisition.
NOTE C-COVENANT -NOT -TO COMPETE, PAGE F-9
------------------------------------------------
<PAGE>
6) There were no cash payments recorded for the Intangible Assets-Covenant not
to compete. The Covenant was offset by notes payable. The footnote incorrectly
included a series of cash payments in error and the Company plans to revise the
footnote in its amended Report on Form 10-KSB filing to be made subsequent to
the filing of this response letter.
ITEMS 8A - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES, PAGE 20
--------------------------------------------------
7) The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer did
conclude that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective,
and the Company plans to revise Item 8A in its amended Report on Form 10-KSB
filing to be made subsequent to the filing of this response letter to clarify
that its controls and procedures were effective.
FORM 10-QSB FOR THE PERIOD ENDING JUNE 30, 2005
-------------------------------------------------------
ITEM 1- FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-------------------------------
NOTE B-PURCHASE OF PRO-SYSTEMS PARKING
------------------------------------------
8) The acquisition of Pro-Systems Parking was the purchase of fixed assets and a
customer listing. The total purchase price was $10,000. The Company paid $5,000
down and the balance in installment payments. There was no entity acquired.
ITEM 3 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
-------------------------------------
9) The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June
30, 2005, and it was incorrectly stated in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form
10-QSB for the period ended June 30, 2005, that he concluded that such controls
and procedures were ineffective. The Company plans to revise Item 3 in an
amended Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, which the
Company plans to file subsequent to the filing of this response letter, to state
that its controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2005.
Yours Very Truly,
/s/ John S. Gillies
