Re: Stinger Systems, Inc.
Form S-1
File Nos. 333-122583
Amended October 28, 2005
Dear Mr. Gruder:
We have reviewed your filings and have the following
comments.
Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of
this letter.
Risk Factors, page 5
If third party manufacturers..., page 6
1. Please delete the second full paragraph on page 7 beginning
"The
Company owns all of the molds..." since mitigating language is not
appropriate in risk factor disclosure.
We may not be able to protect our patent rights, trademarks and
other
proprietary rights, page 8
2. We note your disclosure that the inventor of two of your
patents
has the right to refund the purchase price to you if his stock is
not
timely registered. Please clarify the specific terms and
provisions
of this arrangement. Please tell us whether this shareholder can
return or require you to repurchase the shares you issued to him.
It
appears to us that you would be required to reclassify such shares
outside of permanent equity based on the requirements of EITF D-
98.
Please clarify or revise.
MD&A - Intangible Assets, page 17
3. We note the additional disclosures you provided in response to
prior comment 10. Please revise the additional disclosures to:
* Quantify the amount of sales you estimated in year 1;
* Quantify the annual percentage increase in sales that you
estimated
in years 2-7; and
* Disclose the time period that you expect "volume production" to
begin.
4. We note your response to prior comment 11, however your
statement
that the transactions with Mr. NcNulty were not related appears to
be
inconsistent with other disclosures and responses. It appears to
us
the patents you acquired and the debt and license agreement you
terminated relate to the similar technology. Please clarify or
revise.
MD&A - Critical Accounting Policies, page 19
5. As previously requested in prior comment 12, please disclose
and
discuss your determination of the allocation of the purchase price
when you acquired EDT as a critical accounting policy.
Selling Stockholders, page 33
6. We note that one of your selling shareholders is identified as
Doug
Murrell. Please tell us if and how Doug Murrell is related to or
affiliated with the accounting firm of Killman, Murrell & Company,
P.C. or any of its employees. Please have your auditors explain
to us
how they have fully considered the requirements of Rules 2-01(b)
and
2-01(c)(1) of Regulation S-X.
Closing Comments
As appropriate, please amend your registration statement in
response to these comments. You may contact Melinda Hooker, Staff
Accountant, at (202) 824-5459 or in her absence Anne Marie
McConnell
at (202) 942-1795, who supervised the accounting review, if you
have
questions regarding comments on the financial statements and
related
matters. Please contact Craig Slivka, Staff Attorney, at (202)
942-
7470 or, in his absence, me at (202)942-1950 with any other
questions.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Hardy
Branch Chief
