Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form
SB-2
Filed July 7, 2006
File No.
333-133924
Dear
Ms.
Gowetski:
On
behalf
of Trey
Resources, Inc. (“we” or the “Company”),
we respond as follows to the Staff’s comment letter dated June 2, 2006 relating
to the above-captioned registration statement on Form SB-2. Captions and page
references herein correspond to those set forth in Amendment No. 1 to the
registration statement (“Amendment No. 1” or the “prospectus”), a copy of which
has been marked against the changes from the initial registration statement
filed on May 9, 2006. We are also delivering three (3) courtesy copies of such
marked Amendment No. 1 to Jennifer Gowetski. Please note that for the Staff’s
convenience, we have recited each of the Staff’s comments and provided the
Company’s response to each comment immediately thereafter.
General
1.
We
note your disclosure on page 2 that refers to the outstanding principal
balance of $1,025,000 and accrued interest still owed by the company
to
Cornell from the prior advances under the equity line of credit that
was
terminated on December 30, 2005. We further note that this outstanding
balance was converted into debentures. Pursuant to the equity line
agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to your registration statement on
Form
SB-2 filed on October 3, 2003, it appears that the company had to
deliver
the shares to Cornell’s counsel prior to the release of funds. Please
explain to us in detail why the company has an outstanding principle
balance and accrued interest still owed to
Cornell.

Between
March 15, 2004 and August 31, 2005, the Company issued to Cornell promissory
notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,700,000. On January 27, 2003,
the
Company entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with Cornell.
Following the date that the Company’s Form SB-2 registering for resale the
shares of common stock issuable under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement
was declared effective, the Company requested advances for and borrowed an
aggregate of $1,759,638 from Cornell pursuant to the terms of the Standby Equity
Distribution Agreement during the period from April 12, 2004 through December
27, 2005 and used the proceeds from these advances under the equity line to
repay principal and interest on the promissory notes. The promissory notes
representing the outstanding principal balance of $1,025,000 plus accrued
interest not repaid pursuant to advances we received under the Standby Equity
Distribution Agreement were exchanged on December 30, 2005 for convertible
debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $1,159,047 (which includes
the
principal balance of $1,025,000 plus accrued interest) pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement entered into with Cornell. The outstanding
principal balance of $1,025,000 was not pursuant to advances we requested under
the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement but rather the remaining unpaid
balance under the promissory notes issued between March 15, 2004 and August
31,
2005.
2.
Please
explain to us how converting the outstanding balance under the equity
line
into convertible debentures for Class A common would not impact whether
the company had “completed” the private transaction of all of the
securities that it registered for “resale” in its registration statement
on Form SB-2 filed in October, 2003. Please see the March 2001 Supplement
to the Division’s Current Issues Outline regarding private equity lines
with registered resales available on www.sec.gov.
As
explained in our response to comment #1, the promissory notes representing
the
outstanding principal balance of $1,025,000 plus accrued interest were not
issued by the Company to Cornell pursuant to advances we received under the
Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. Rather, this amount simply represented
the remaining balance under the promissory notes issued by the Company to
Cornell between March 15, 2004 and August 31, 2005 which were exchanged on
December 30, 2005 for convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount
of $1,159,047 (which includes the principal balance of $1,025,000 plus accrued
interest) pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into with
Cornell. Accordingly, since the Company did not convert any outstanding balance
under the equity line into convertible debentures, this does not affect the
validity of the private placement. The
structure of the Cornell equity line transaction is consistent with the Staff’s
position set forth in the Current Issues and Rulemaking Projects Outline
Quarterly Update, March 31, 2001. The equity line transaction was completed
and
fully committed prior to the filing of the resale registration statement on
Form
SB-2 filed in October 2003. Cornell was irrevocably bound to purchase the
Company’s common stock once the Company exercised a “put” under the equity line
arrangement. This “put” right was solely within the Company’s control. In
addition, the Company utilized a form of registration statement that the Company
was eligible to use for a primary offering and Cornell was named as an
underwriter in the prospectus and was accordingly subject to all of the
requirements and liabilities of an underwriter.

Summary, page 1

We
note your statement on page 1 that on December 30, 2005, you entered
into
a securities purchase agreement with Cornell whereby you issued to
Cornell
an aggregate $2,359,047 of secured convertible debentures. We further
note
your disclosure on page 2 that you issued two additional debentures
for
$600,000 each on December 20, 2005 and May 2, 2006. Please revise
your
disclosure on page 1 and throughout the prospectus, including page
12, to
clarify, if true, that the $2,359,047 of secured convertible debentures
were not all issued on December 30, 2005, and provide the date and
amount
of each issued debenture.
The
Company issued two secured convertible debentures on December 30, 2005 for
$1,159,047 and $600,000, respectively, and one secured convertible debenture
on
May 2, 2006 for $600,000, for an aggregate of $2,359,047 of secured convertible
debentures. The disclosure throughout the prospectus has been revised
accordingly in response to this comment.

We
note your disclosure on page 12 that, if your Class A common stock
is
trading above the conversion price at the time of prepayment, you
must pay
a 20% prepayment premium. We further note your disclosure that Cornell
may
convert the debentures into a number of shares equal to the quotient
obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding amount of debentures to
be
converted by (y) 90% of the lowest closing bid price of your shares
during
the 30 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. Please
clarify, if true, whether you will always be subject to a prepayment
penalty as the conversion price appears to be 90% of the lowest closing
bid price of your shares.

We
note your disclosure on page 14 that you issued five promissory notes
payable to Cornell in 2004 totaling $1,350,000 for advances on the
equity
line financing agreement and that the promissory notes were repaid
in full
as of May 16, 2005. Please expand your disclosure to clarify why
promissory notes were issued for advances on the equity line. Please
provide the date and amount of each promissory note. In addition,
please
describe the source of funds used to repay the promissory notes in
full as
of May 16, 2005. Finally, please clarify how these promissory notes
for an
aggregate $1,350,000 are related to the outstanding principal balance
of
$1,025,000 and accrued interest still owed by the company to Cornell
from
the prior advances under the equity
line.
The
five
promissory notes issued to Cornell totaling $1,350,000 that were repaid on
May
16, 2005 were repaid from proceeds the Company received from advances under
the
Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. We issued separate promissory notes
on
the following dates in the following amounts: $100,000 on March 15, 2004;
$100,000 on March 16, 2004; $100,000 on April 1, 2004; $700,000 on May 7, 2004;
and $350,000 on September 2, 2004. Following the date that the Company’s Form
SB-2 registering for resale the shares of common stock issuable under the
Standby Equity Distribution Agreement was declared effective, the Company
requested advances for and borrowed an aggregate of $1,434,638 from Cornell
pursuant to the terms of the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement during the
period from April 12, 2004 through May 16, 2005 and used the proceeds from
these
advances under the equity line to repay $1,350,000 of principal and $84,638
of
interest on these promissory notes. These promissory notes are not related
in
any way to the promissory notes representing the outstanding principal balance
of $1,025,000 which were exchanged on December 30, 2005 for convertible
debentures pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. We have removed the
reference in the prospectus to these promissory notes that were repaid on May
16, 2005 as this disclosure is not relevant to this offering.
