RE: Naprodis, Inc.
Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form SB-2
Filed on September 29, 2005
File No. 333-122009
Dear Dr. Petit:
We have reviewed your amended filing and have the following
comments.
General
1. You filed your amendment on September 29, 2005; however you did
not submit your response letter until October 6, 2005 after a call
by
The Staff. We will not begin the review of any future
registration
statements until a response letter is submitted.
2. We refer you to comment 1 of our letter dated February 11,
2005.
Please outline how Naprodis will conduct a concurrent self-
underwritten primary and secondary offering at $.15/share. Include
prominent disclosure regarding the concurrent nature of the
offerings. Consider whether there are any conflicts of interest
presented by the Petits who are selling Naprodis` securities
pursuant
to 3a4-1 at the same time the selling shareholders are selling
their
securities. Confirm that the selling shareholders are
unaffiliated
with the Petits.
3. We refer you to your response to comment 2 of our letter dated
February 11, 2005. As previously requested, please advise which
states you intend to offer and sell your securities. We note that
you have allocated $1,000 toward the registration process.
4. We refer you to comment 63 of our letter dated February 11,
2005.
Please describe the reason for the delay between the payment for
the
stock subscription in August 2004 and the issuance of shares in
January 2005.
Prospectus Summary, page 2
5. We note the reference in this section to "[i]f and when our
common
stock becomes quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board..." Please revise
to
include specific disclosure on your intentions towards listing on
the
OTCBB, current status of your listing application and the costs
associated with initial and continual listing on the OTCBB in your
"Risk Factors" and "Management`s Discussion and Analysis or Plan
of
Operation" sections as appropriate.
Risk Factors, page 4
The offering of our shares will be more difficult...
6. We note your response to comment 1 of our letter dated February
11, 2005. Please revise to more clearly indicate in your
discussion
of the difficulties selling shares, the downward sales price
pressure
created by the selling shareholders.
Even if all shares offered by this prospectus...
7. Please revise to discuss the relationship between the principal
shareholders and officers.
We rely on two customers...
8. Please identify the two customers and also discuss the
percentage
of sales that each customer accounted for individually. Further,
we
note that one holder is substantially in arrears on payment of its
bills, please also consider this factor when revising this
section.
Please also revise your "Business" section.
9. We refer you to comment 13 of our letter dated February 11,
2005.
Consider disclosing risk factors that address the following, if
appropriate, or provide the risk factors previously requested in
comment 13;
* Your reliance upon outside manufacturers and natural resource
suppliers. Please also address, if true, that both main suppliers
of
finished products and raw materials are related parties and you
currently receive materials at cost, plus shipping in the case of
S.A.R.L. Naprodis, but have no definitive agreements and such
terms
may change;
* Your entrance into additional manufacturing fields including the
production of shampoo and conditioner;
* The fact you are owned 40% by an offshore entity;
* Dr. Petit`s limited practical experience in financial reporting
and
public accounting specifically at reporting entities. While we
note
Dr. Petit`s accounting and finance degree from the Institute of
Technology, we note no additional disclosure that addresses Dr.
Petit`s practical experience in accounting and financial
reporting;
* The applicability of penny stock rules as disclosed in our
"Market
for Common Stock" section;
* Irrespective of Naprodis` intent, Naprodis may suspend its
reporting obligations;
* The additional risks posed by a direct public offering by
Naprodis
as opposed to, for example, a firm underwritten offering;
* The risks associated with nutritional supplements as described
on
page 12, as they relate specifically to the products that you
sell;
* The risks associated with your ability to issue preferred stock
as
stated on page 26; and
* That your officers may be compensated for past services and that
you have not determined the amount they may be paid.
Management`s Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operation, page
11
10. We substantially reissue comment 17 of our letter dated
February
11, 2005 and suggest you make the following changes:
* We refer you to the Commission`s Guidance Regarding Management`s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, Securities Act Release Nos. 33-6835 and 33-8350.
Please
evaluate whether an introductory section can address those matters
in
which your executives focus in evaluating Naprodis` financial
condition and operating performance and provide the context for
the
discussion of your financial statements. Consider, for example,
disclosing why you elected to discuss "Freight" in this section or
what the "Other" line item encompasses. See SEC Release No. 33-
8350.
* Consider revising to include in narrative form a discussion that
focuses on the material changes to the financial statement line
items
of Naprodis. See SEC Release No. 33-8350. Please also include the
actual increases or decreases in financial performance in dollar
and
percentage amounts. Further, in discussing your results of
operations, you sometimes refer to two or more sources as
components
that contributed to a material change. For example, under "Other"
you discuss increased administrative activity and sales. Revise
to
quantify the amount of the change that was contributed by each of
the
factors or events that you identify. See Section III.D of SEC
Release 33-6835.
* We note your revised disclosure provides minimal discussion and
analysis of past financial condition and operating analysis and
there
does not appear to be much emphasis, if any, on your prospective
financial condition and operating performance. You should discuss
any known trends, events or uncertainties that have had or are
reasonably expected to have a material impact on the net sales,
revenues or income from continuing operations. Therefore, you
should
provide a comprehensive discussion of events and uncertainties if
applicable, that may lead to increased costs in raw materials,
changes to the allocation of funds for development, marketing, and
sales for each of your distribution channels, the increased costs
necessary to expand your customer base and the resulting impact on
liquidity and your use of proceeds. See Section III.B.3 of SEC
Release 33-8350 and Items 303(b)(1)(i)-(iii) of Regulation S-B.
* Your "Management`s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation"
section should include a reasonably detailed discussion of your
ability or inability as stated in this section to generate
sufficient
cash to support operations during the next twelve months. Please
revise to provide in narrative form, as opposed to a mere
recitation
of your cash flow statements, your ability to rectify your
negative
cash flows or create additional liquidity. Further, in accordance
with Item 303(b)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B, and the comment above
you
should discuss any known trends, events or uncertainties that have
had or are reasonably expected to have a material impact on the
net
sales, revenues or income from continuing operations, or liquidity
and capital resources.
11. Please revise to discuss the accrued but unpaid compensation.
Please also consider disclosing that the projected compensation of
your officers, as discussed on page 20, since it appears greater
than
your entire estimated yearly costs of operations.
12. Please revise to discuss the costs specifically associated
with
entering into a new line of business, i.e., manufacturing shampoo,
conditioners and skin care products.
13. We note your response to comment 16 of our letter dated
February
11, 2005. We also note your material sources and use of cash
chart
on page 10 states that payment will be made to Paul Petit. Please
advise how this reconciles with disclosure in response to this
comment. Please also clearly discuss the amount owed by the
significant customer, amounts owed to related parties and the
payment
or receivable schedule for these funds.
Business, page 12
General, page 12
14. We refer your to comment 20 of our letter dated February 11,
2005. We note that you will be allocating $12,500 to additional
marketing efforts. Please disclose in this section or your
"Management`s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation"
section
the allocation of these costs and if they will change your current
word-of-mouth marketing to refocus on beauty salons or large
health
food store chains.
Manufacturing and Product Supply, page 13
15. We reissue comment 21 of our letter dated February 11, 2005.
We
note that compliance with this item is not dependant on an ability
or
inability to find alternative suppliers.
16. We refer you to comment 22 of our letter dated February 11,
2005.
We note revised disclosure that approximately 70% of gross product
sales were derived from products you manufactured. Yet, we note
that
only 5.98% of gross sales are of the leading products you
manufacture. Please revise your disclosure on page 7 to also
discuss
what percentage of sales are products manufactured by you with raw
material supplied by you and what percentage are products
manufactured by you with raw materials supplied by others to
clarify
disclosure.
17. Please briefly discuss the change in your distribution
channels,
including, for example, the increase in private label resellers.
Principal Shareholders, page 10
18. We refer you to comment 38 of our letter dated February 11,
2005.
Please advise if any shareholder of S.A.R.L Naprodis, besides
Alain
Petit, beneficially owns over 10% of S.A.R.L Naprodis and briefly
advise as to the industry in which S.A.R.L. Naprodis operates in.
Further advise as to any ongoing relationships between S.A.R.L.
Naprodis or affiliates of S.A.R.L, Naprodis and any affiliate of
Naprodis or Phybiosis. Further, it appears as if S.A.R.L Naprodis
also competes in your line of business by engaging in re-sales to
consumers. If true, revise your risk factor disclosure to state
that
an entity owned 40% by an officer may now or in the future compete
with your business.
Management, page 18
19. Please provide the information required under Item 401(a) (4)
of
Regulation S-B for Kelley Thompson.
Transaction with Related Parties and Recent Sales of Securities,
page
20
20. We refer you to comment 37 of our letter dated February 11,
2005.
Please revise to discuss the specific services S.A.R.L. Naprodis
provided to organize the company.
Financial Statements
General
21. Update the financial statements pursuant to Item 310(g) of
Regulation S-B. Since you have reported losses in the prior two
years, it appears that the registration statement must be updated
to
include audited financial statements for the year August 31, 2005.
Statements of Operations, page F-3
22. We note that you have revised your financial statement
presentation to present pro forma data to give effect to the
proposed
employment arrangements. Please note that such pro forma
adjustments
should be appended at the bottom of the historical financial
statements and should be clearly designated as "unaudited."
Revise
accordingly. Make similar revisions to your summary on page 3.
Revenue Recognition, page F-6
23. We note that your revised revenue recognition policy includes
a
fifth criterion, that the fair value of undelivered elements, if
any,
is negligible. Clarify what undelivered elements you are
referring
to and why you believe recognition of revenue prior to their
delivery
is appropriate. Clearly indicate where SAB 104 discusses the
fifth
criterion. We note that SAB 104 discusses accounting for
undelivered
services that are inconsequential or perfunctory but this
discussion
is not in the context of a fifth criterion. See SAB Topic
13(A)(3)(c).
24. We note that during the nine months ended May 31, 2005 you
established a reserve for uncollectible receivables of $42,000,
$35,000 of which appears to have been recorded in the first six
months of the fiscal year. Given the significance of this
reserve,
please tell us when you recorded the related revenue and when the
amounts were due. For receivables arising more than 30 days prior
to
August 31, 2004, justify why the amounts were not reserved prior
to
year-end.
Depreciation, pages F-7 and F-8
25. Please refer to your response to prior comment 55 of our
letter
dated February 11, 2005. Tell us what you mean when you say that
you
depreciate leasehold improvements "over four years on a
prospective
basis". Reconcile this statement with the disclosure that the
estimated useful life of leasehold improvements is nine years. If
you have changed your depreciation policy, please revise your
disclosures accordingly. See paragraph 33 of APB 20.
Part II-Information Not Required in Prospectus
Identification of Officers and Directors..., page 21
26. We refer you to comment 61 of our letter dated February 11,
2005.
Please briefly summarize Article VIII of your Bylaws and NRS
Section
78.75
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities, page 21
27. Please revise to disclose the portion of your response to
comment
62 of our letter dated February 11, 2005 that concerns the nature
of
information provided to potential investors.
* * * * *
