Re: Alchemy Enterprises, Ltd.
Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-SB
Filed May 20, 2005
File No. 0-50983
Dear Mr. Sciotto:
We have reviewed your amended filing and have the following
comments. Where indicated, we think you should revise your
document
in response to these comments.
Part I
Item 1. Description of Business, page 3
Business of Issuer
1. Please clarify the company`s business nature and its activities
from April 21, 1999 until May 17, 2004. We note the disclosure in
the MD&A section that at the time of the Regulation D, Rule 504,
offering "the company had a fully developed business plan and
corporate hierarchy and were in the process of identifying and
contacting suppliers." However, it does not appear to reconcile
to
the subsequent disclosure that John Yamada resigned as your sole
officer and director on December 1, 2004 and in an effort to
salvage
shareholder value and to pursue your business plan, Mr. Sciotto
was
appointed as your new officer and director. Please expand on this
transition and on how Mr. Yamada and Mr. Sciotto met and the
circumstances leading up to and surrounding the private
transaction
in December 2004.
2. Reference is made to Note 6 to the financial statements. We
are
confused by the disclosure that "if a specific business
opportunity
becomes available, such persons may face a conflict in selecting
between the Company and his other business interests." Please
expand
to clarify this disclosure.
3. We are confused by the disclosure that "we have yet to commence
our planned principal operations." Please disclose any sales as
of
the most recent practicable date.
Principal Products and Principal Markets
4. Please discuss in detail when the company contacted the four
chemical companies and when samples from each of these companies
were
received. Disclose the date the company placed an order with
AlfaKleen.
Distribution Methods
5. In prior comment 3 dated April 6, 2005, we asked that you
elaborate on your distribution methods under the subheading
"Distribution Methods of the Products." In response, you revised
the
disclosure to discuss in greater detail the internet. This
revised
disclosure appears to describe marketing efforts and not
distribution
methods. See Item 101(b)(2) of Regulation S-B.
6. According to the filing, management will devote minimal time to
company business. Please discuss to what extent management will
make
visits or cold calls to prospective customers. Please clarify, if
true, that management will rely primarily on its website to sell
products.
Status of any announced new products or service
7. We note that you now have inventory in your warehouse. Please
discuss any and all sales to date.
Sources and availability of raw materials and the names of
principal suppliers
8. Elaborate as to the availability of alternate supply sources
for
your products.
Item 2. Management`s Discussion and Analysis, page 7
9. As requested in prior comment 8 dated April 6, 2005,
affirmatively
state that the company does not consider itself a "blank check" as
the term is defined in Regulation C, Rule 419, and does not intend
to
merge with or acquire another company in the foreseeable future.
10. You state that the cumulative net loss was attributable solely
to
general and administrative expenses related to the costs of start-
up
operations. Please advise whether these start-up expenses include
the purchase of your existing inventory and the rent expense
incurred
to store the same.
11. Disclose your available cash balance as of the most recent
practicable date. See prior comment 10 dated April 6, 2005.
Plan of Operation
12. Please update the milestones to provide dates when you expect
to
begin and complete each phase of your plan of operation for next
12
months.
13. It is not clear how much inventory you currently have, the
number
of clients you expect to service with this initial inventory, how
long you expect it to last, or how long it will take for your
suppliers to replenish inventory as it is sold. To the extent
known,
please disclose this information.
14. We note that the company originally budgeted $16,000 toward
inventory and subsequently reduced this amount to $3,000, and that
$4,000 of inventory is sufficient for the next 12 months. Please
discuss the basis for this budget. It would appear that the
inventory is minimal in terms of quantity, especially since you
would
sell to companies. Please advise how quickly AlfaKleen could fill
your orders.
15. Please provide the basis for your statement on page 9, second
paragraph, where you state that the remaining $6,600 will allow
you
to cover costs that are as yet unforeseen and to take advantage of
opportunities that may arise in the course of your business. If
these costs are unforeseen and the opportunities not yet known, we
fail to see how you justify this belief.
Item 4. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and
Management, page 10
Changes in Control
16. It appears Mr. Yamada can call the note payable and demand
back
his
shares. Please advise and provide a copy of the note as an
exhibit.
Upon receipt, we may have additional comments.
17. Please disclose the business nature of Lynn-Cole Capital
Corporation. In addition, please advise of Ms. Quiel`s affiliation
to
Alchemy and its current officer and director.
Item 5. Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control
Persons, page 11
18. Please provide the information required by Item 401(a)(4) of
Regulation S-B, which requires a description of your officers and
directors business experience for the past 5 years. The current
disclosure is not specific enough.
19. We note that your sole director will hold office until April
2005. Please update the disclosure.
Item 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, page 12
20. We reissue prior comment 18 dated April 6, 2005. Please
provide
the information required pursuant to Item 404(d)(1) of Regulation
S-
B, including the identification of the company`s promoter(s). See
the definition of "promoter" in Rule 405 of Regulation C.
Item 8. Description of Securities, page 13
Anti-takeover Provisions
21. The disclosure indicates that your charter and by-laws allow
you
to adjust the common stock designations. Please confirm.
Part F/S
22. Please be aware that the registrant is now subject to the
reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. We note that the Form
10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 has not been filed.
Please file immediately.
Part III
23. The footnote references Form SB-2. Please advise.
24. We note that the company paid $250.00 for a private label
license. Please file a copy of private label license as an
exhibit.
Upon receipt we may have additional comments.
25. Please provide a copy of the Regulation D offering made
pursuant
to Rule 504. Upon receipt we may have additional comments.
