Re: Alchemy Enterprises, Ltd.
Amendment No. 2 to Form 10-SB
Filed July 13, 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.
General
1. We were unable to locate a "red lined" version highlighting
changes and revisions to Amendment No. 2. Please ensure that a
red
lined version for all subsequent amendments is filed on Edgar.
2. As appropriate, please amend all periodic reports in accordance
with these Form 10-SB comments.
Part I
Item 1. Description of Business, page 3
Business of Issuer
3. You state that since formation, your operations have been
devoted
to startup and development activities which include the matters
listed numerically 1-5 on page 3. We request that you also
include
purchasing inventory and leasing warehouse space.
Distribution Methods
4. You state that from inception to March 31, 2005, you have not
engaged in any sales activity. Please update this disclosure to
the
effective date of this registration statement (May 2, 2005).
Status of any announced new products or service
5. You state that from inception to March 31, 2005, you have not
generated any revenues from sales of your product. Please update
this disclosure to the effective date of this registration
statement
(May 2, 2005).
Sources and availability of raw materials and the names of
principal suppliers
6. You disclose that there are no alternate supply sources for
your
products. The lack of an alternate supply source would seem to
represent a material risk and uncertainty that should be
discussed,
including what efforts you will make or attempt to make in an
effort
to secure such supplies should your primary source no longer be
available or attractive.
Reports to Security Holders
7. Please note the Commission`s new mailing address:
100 F Street, NE
Washington, DC 20549
Item 2. Management`s Discussion and Analysis, page 7
8. In addition to stating in the first paragraph that you have yet
to
commence your planned principal operations, please also include
the
fact that you have identified a supplier, purchased inventory,
developed a website for marketing your products, and leased
warehouse
space to store the inventory. Disclose as well the fact, if true,
that you have not generated any sales or revenue to date.
9. Disclose your available cash balance as of the most recent
practicable date. See prior comment 10 dated April 6, 2005 and
prior
comment 11 dated June 24, 2005. In this regard, we note your
response dated July 12, 2005 but fail to understand the reason why
disclosing the requested information is dependent upon the June
30,
2005 financials.
Plan of Operation
10. Per prior comment 12 dated June 24, 2005, please update the
milestones to disclose when you expect to begin and complete each
phase of your plan of operation for next 12 months as required by
Item 303(a) of Regulation S-B.
11. We fail to understand how a 10 day inventory turnaround time
could be deemed a "just-in-time" inventory program.
12. You state that you have $14,869 in cash and that this should
satisfy your cash requirements for the next 12 months. You also
disclose that your cash requirements for the next 12 months will
consists of $1,500 for website development; $3,000 in marketing
expenses; $5,000 in reporting expenses; $3,600 in rent expense;
and
$750 remaining from the $4,000 you budgeted for inventory, all of
which totals to $13,850. We therefore do not understand how you
arrived at a remaining amount of $6,600.
Item 5. Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control
Persons, page 11
13. In prior comment 18 dated June 24, 2005, we asked that you
provide the information required by Item 401(a)(4) of Regulation
S-B
for the past 5 years, as the disclosure provided was not specific
enough. The revised disclosure is still not specific enough.
Please
identify the businesses which Mr. Sciotto performed consulting
work
for during the past 5 years and briefly discuss the nature of the
consulting services.
Item 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, page 12
14. We reissue prior comment 20 dated June 24, 2005. Identify the
"promoter(s)" of the company as that term is defined in Rule 405
of
Regulation C.
Part F/S
15. We note your response to our prior comment 22 dated June 24,
2005. As stated in our prior comments, your registration
statement
became effective on May 2, 2005 by lapse of time, 60 days after
the
date it was filed. On the effective date, you became subject to
the
reporting requirements of Section 13(a) of Securities Exchange Act
of
1934. Accordingly your first Exchange Act report for the period
following the latest period required to be included in the
registration statement is due the later of 45 days after
effectiveness or the date the filing would otherwise be due.
Since
you were required to include financial statements through the end
of
December 31, 2004 in the registration statement, your first report
that is due after effectiveness is a Form 10-QSB for the three
months
ended March 31, 2005. Your voluntary inclusion of the interim
financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 in the
registration statement filed on Form 10-SB does not relieve your
reporting obligations. Accordingly, please file a Form 10-QSB
for
the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

As appropriate, please amend your registration statement in
response to these comments. You may wish to provide us with
marked
copies of the amendment to expedite our review. Please furnish a
cover letter with your amendment that keys your responses to our
comments and provides any requested supplemental information.
