Re: Souvall-Page and Company, Inc.
Registration Statement on Form 10-SB
Filed July 29, 2005
File No. 0-51464
Dear Mr.Minni:
We have the following comments on your filing. 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 revise to include updated financial statements pursuant
to
Item 310(g) of Regulation S-B.
2. Under "Item 1. Description of Business - Business Development -
Organization," on page 2, you have stated that, on February 2,
1988,
you decreased your authorized capital of 75,000,000 shares of
$0.001
par value common stock to 50,000,000 shares of Class A common
stock.
This is consistent with Certificate of incorporation, as amended.
However, in the "Description of Securities" section you have
discussed only common stock, and pursuant to this Form 10SB are
registering common stock only and not class A common stock.
Revise
the disclosure throughout the registration statement, including
the
cover page, to resolve this apparent discrepancy.
Facing Page of the Registration Statement
3. Include the SEC file number of the facing page of the
registration
statement.
Item 1. Description of Business - Business Development -
Organization, page 2
4. Based on your disclosure under "Organization" and "General
Business History" where you have provided a history of the numbers
of
shares of stock issued, including reverse splits, our calculations
indicate that you have 634,118 shares outstanding. However, under
"Description of Securities - Common Stock on page 15 you have
stated
that there are 661,906 shares outstanding. In this regard we note
in
Note 2 to both financial statements that an additional 15,311
shares
were issued in conjunction with the reverse split, although this
was
not included in your disclosure in this section. However, that
would
not completely account for the apparent discrepancy noted above.
Please discuss this apparent discrepancy in your response letter
and,
if applicable, revise the disclosure. Also, include the Note 2
information under "Description of Business."
5. Please add to this section a discussion of your blank check
status.
6. Please remove the words "and words of similar import" from the
first sentence of this section. They make the statement overly
inclusive.
General Business History, page 3
7. Please disclose that you cannot ensure that you will succeed in
having your securities quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.
Business, page 3
8. Please revise the first paragraph of this section to clarify
when
you intend to complete a business combination. In addition, add a
risk factor regarding the following statement in the second
paragraph
of this section: "Our Company is not currently engaged in any
substantive business activity, and we have no plans to engage in
any
such activity in the foreseeable future."
Risk Factors, page 5
Discretionary Use of Proceeds; `Blank Check` Company, page 5
9. Please clarify in this risk factor the following:
* that if you issue stock or debt in a public offering, it is
necessary to comply with Rule 419 of Regulation C, which requires
that the proceeds be deposited promptly into an escrow account or
a
trust account; and
* that Rule 419 includes, among other things, that the investor
cannot receive the funds unless the purchaser, after receiving
information regarding the business combination, confirms in
writing
his/her decision to invest.
State Restrictions on Blank Check Companies, page 7
10. Please remove the last sentence of the second paragraph of
this
risk factor, which sentence begins: "Because our company does not
intend ...." Also, disclose, in the sections listed below, that,
both before and after the business combination, Mr. Merrell and
all
of the other security holders who are promoters or affiliates of
the
registrant, and their transferees, can resell securities of the
registrant only through registration under the Securities Act.
Also,
state that Rule 144 will not be available to them:
* in this risk factor;
* in the risk factor entitled "No Market for Common Stock - No
Market
for Shares" on page 8;
* in Part II, Item 1, "Market Price of and Dividends on our
Company`s
Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters - Market
Information"
on page 17; and
* in Item 4, "Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities -
Restrictions
on Sales of Certain `Restricted Securities`" on page 18.
Item 2. Management`s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
Operations,
page 11
Forward-looking Statements, page 11
11. On page 12 please reference the third paragraph of this
section,
which paragraph begins: "Accordingly, results actually achieved
...." Please ensure that you update any forward-looking
statements
if you amend this Form 10-SB.
Liquidity, page 11
12. Disclose the principal terms of the agreements with officers
and
directors regarding expenses of $3,699 paid in 1998. File the
agreements as exhibits if the agreement has not been performed.
Plan of Operation, page 11
13. Please discuss your timeframe for finding a target for a
business
combination. In addition, disclose the estimated costs associated
with the process. Discuss in greater detail your
financing/liquidity
needs during this process. State whether any manager or
stockholder
has agreed to advance expenses associated with legal fees,
accounting
fees and reviewing or investigating any potential business
venture.
If so, state the amount and the terms of the loans. Also, file
any
agreements as exhibits. We may have further comment.
Item 4. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and
Management, page 12
Security Ownership of Management, page 12
14. Please provide an address for Todd D. Ross.
Item 8. Description of Securities, page 15
Common Stock
15. Your description in the first sentence indicates that you have
50,000,000 shares of no par common stock authorized. Your
disclosure
in the balance sheet (F-2) however, indicates the par value is
$.001.
Please advise or revise.
Restrictions on Sales of Certain "Restricted Securities", page 17
16. In the last paragraph of this section, please explain the
basis
for disputing the application of the Ken Worm letter to Mr.
Merrell
or remove the paragraph.
