RE: COLD SPRING CAPITAL INC. REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-1
(FILE NO. 333-128351)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (the
"Registration Statement"), of Cold Spring Capital Inc. (the "Company"), you have
asked whether Form S-11 and Industry Guide 5 would be applicable to the
Company's proposed offering.
The Company does not believe that either Form S-11 or Industry Guide 5 would be
applicable. Form S-11 is applicable to issuers "whose business is primarily that
of acquiring and holding for investment real estate or interests in real estate
or interests in other issuers whose business is primarily that of acquiring and
holding real estate or interest in real estate for investment." The primary
business of the Company is not any of the foregoing; currently, the Company is a
blank check company. As noted in the Registration Statement, the Company intends
to focus on specialty finance companies (and portfolios) in market sectors that
it believes are attractive. These market sectors may or may not include the real
estate market. While the Company may make an acquisition in the real estate
industry, it has not done so yet, and, even if it were to make such an
acquisition, the Company advises us that such acquisition would in all
likelihood not involve acquiring and holding real estate or related interests
for investment purposes. The businesses that the Company contemplates acquiring
are not the sort as to which Form S-11 would be applicable.
The Company further notes that, even if the disclosure called for by Form S-11
were required to be made by the Company, there is nothing material or otherwise
helpful to investors that the Company could provide beyond the disclosure that
is already set forth in the Registration Statement. For example, in that the
Company has only minimal operations and infrastructure, it has not formed
investment policies, it holds no properties that it could describe, and it owns
no improved property for which it could provide statistics.

The Company does not believe that Industry Guide 5 is applicable under the same
analysis as set forth above and because the Company has no intention of
acquiring or otherwise forming a limited partnership related to real estate.
Further, as in the case of disclosure called for by Form S-11, the Company does
not believe that there is any further information it could provide in response
to Guide 5 that would be helpful to investors.
The Company will, of course, at the time it puts a proposed acquisition to the
vote of its stockholders, provide in the proxy statement all relevant
information about the target and expects that the Commission will at that time
offer its comments on that disclosure.
Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Very truly yours,
/s/ JAMES W. HACKETT, JR.
