RE: Universal Fog, Inc.
Registration Statement on Form SB-2
File Number: 333-128831
Filed: October 5, 2005
Dear Mr. Bontems:
We have reviewed your filing and have the following
comments.
Where indicated, we think you should revise your document in
response
to these comments. If you disagree, we will consider your
explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is
unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your
explanation.
In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with
supplemental information so we may better understand your
disclosure.
After reviewing this information, we may or may not raise
additional
comments.
Please understand that the purpose of our review process is
to
assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure
requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing.
We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome
any questions you may have about our comments or on any other
aspect
of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers
listed
at the end of this letter.
General
1. Please include the registration number on the cover page of the
registration statement.
2. Please include dealers` delivery legend on the outside back
cover
page. See Item 502 of Regulation S-B.
3. You refer to Universal Fog Inc. as the "Company". The term
"Company" is a vague, abstract term. Use your actual company
name, a
shortened version of it, or the pronoun "we" or "us" throughout
your
document to refer to your company.
4. Please disclose all of your websites, including
www.universalfogmistingsystems.com and please make sure that the
content of your websites are consistent with the disclosure in the
registration statement before the registration statement becomes
effective.
5. Please revise any language that is promotional in nature
through
out the prospectus. Such promotional tone is inappropriate for a
disclosure document. For example, we note your use of "we can
quickly become market leaders," "a quality reputation," "highest
caliber," "upscale market," and etc.
6. There are 38,592,800 shares of common stock of the registrant
currently outstanding, approximately 17% of which are being
offered
for resale by affiliates of the company. Generally, we view
resale
transactions by parties related to the issuer of this amount as,
in
essence, an offering by or on behalf of the issuer for purposes of
Rule 415(a)(4) of Regulation C under the Securities Act. For
these
sales to occur "at the market," the provisions of Rule 415(a)(4)
must
be satisfied. As your offering does not appear to meet these
provisions, an "at the market" offering by those affiliates is not
permissible. Your offering should be revised to price the shares
being offered by affiliates for the duration of the offering.
Please
revise your prospectus in all appropriate places accordingly.
Cover Page of the Prospectus
7. Please separately list the amount of securities offered by
selling
shareholders and by Universal Fog.
8. The cross-reference to the risk factors section should be
highlighted by using bold face type or italics.
9. The terms of this primary offering (by Universal Fog) are not
at
all clear from the prospectus cover. Please clarify the following
hereon and make appropriate changes to the Plan of Distribution
section: 1) that the offering is on an "all or none basis"; 2)
escrow arrangements, if any, for proceeds to be deposited pending
the
receipt of all of the $2,000,000 proceeds; 3) the termination date
of
the offering and 4) a statement that all proceeds will be
promptly
returned to subscribers if the $2,000,000 is not sold by the
termination date.
10. Explain footnote (1) in the table.
Table of Contents
11. Correct the page references.
Prospectus Summary, page 4
12. You state that Universal Fog, Inc has been in continuous
operation since 1996. However, you also state that Universal Fog
began in 1989 as Arizona Mist. The notes to your financial
statements also state that Universal is the successor of Arizona
Mist. The statements are confusing. Please clarify. Further, we
note that on page 17, you disclose Arizona Mist was sold to Orbit
Sprinklers. Please explain how Universal Fog began as Arizona.
13. The exhaustive list should be removed from the summary
section.
The summary should provide a brief overview of the key aspects of
the
offering.
14. Please disclose the offering period.
15. Briefly describe the principal terms of the two offerings.
Risk Factors, page 7
General
16. Please note that you should disclose all material risks to the
potential investor. The risks should cover and relate to your
company, the industry in which your company operates, your
management, the terms of the offering, your past performance, etc.
Each risk factor should also clearly disclose the consequences to
the
company or to the investors, should the risk materializes. Risk
factors that are generic in nature and equally applicable to
similarly situated businesses should not be disclosed. Please
revise
your risk factor section, as appropriate, to address all material
risks.
17. Please avoid the general conclusion you make in most of your
risk
factors that a particular risk will have a "material adverse"
effect
on your business. Instead, you should revise to state the
specific
risk to your company and/or investors. Please revise the risk
factors section accordingly.
18. The third risk factor is generic and common to all businesses
and
should be deleted.
19. Include a risk factor discussing the history of operating
losses.
20. The fifth risk factor is not accurate. It is Tom A. Bontems
alone who will continue to have absolute voting control of this
company and the risk factor should be revised accordingly.
21. Risk factor five discusses that your officers, directors may
act
in their bests interests and no necessarily those of other
stockholders. However, in the investment information page, you
state
that "Universal Fog is committed to ethical standards and to
conducting its business with the highest level of integrity." In
the
code of business conduct and ethics, you also state, "[y]ou may
not
exploit your position . . . with Universal Fog for personal gain."
Please reconcile your disclosure with the representation you make
on
your website.
Forward Looking Statements, page 7
22. Please delete the word "will."

of the Securities Act and Section 21E(b)(1)(C) of the Securities
Exchange Act expressly state that the safe harbor for forward
looking
statements does not apply to statements made by companies that
issue

Reform
Act; or

that
the safe harbor does not apply to your company
