Registration Statement on Form SB-2
File No. 333-127612
Filed August 19, 2005
Dear Mr. Owings:
Pursuant to your conversation with Ivan Braverman, the company's auditor, we are
requesting your expedited response to Mr. Braverman's response to comment 32 set
forth below of your comment letter dated October 27, 2005 in connection with the
above-referenced filing. Once we have your response to this comment, we will
proceed to file a 4th Amendment to Fuego Entertainment's SB-2 along with our
complete response letter.
32. Additional disclosures have been added to Note 1-Investment, to
incorporate the requested information and as per paragraph 10 of SFAS
No.50, and we have also added additional information below for your
understanding of the investment which will not been disclosed in the
footnote. Please respond as the completeness of the information we have
provided.
Footnote disclosure:
INVESTMENT
The Company invested a total of $57,400 in a series of shows to be
presented in 5 cities in the United States, from which it was to receive the
return of its investment based on a percentage of ticket sales from all shows
performed, and then participate in the net income of all of the shows after
their completion which is anticipated to occur at the end of the summer of 2006.
The three shows performed as of May 31, 2005, exhausted the budgeted funds
available by the producer/promoter since the promoter/promoter decided to incur
additional costs for high definition filming, production costs for a live
recording of a compact disc, and a substantial payment to secure the services of
an Oscar Winner Film Director. In the opinion of the president/CEO, whose
background includes substantial tour production, the majority of shows on tour
typically incur front-end costs of this type and magnitude, prior to realizing
the financial benefits from subsequent shows during the tour.
As a result of these increased show costs, the initial royalty agreement
with the Company was renegotiated to allow deferral of the initial payment to
the Company of its investment until the December 31, 2005 show is performed. The
Company does not consider this deferral as a basis for amortization of its
investment or impairment thereof,
In addition to expecting full recovery of the investment in December 2005,
the Company believes additional shows may be added to the tour depending on the
success achieved during the remaining shows.
The tour being presented is a more expanded version of the same show being
presented semi-weekly at the Stardust hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, which has
enjoyed near sell-out performances.
Information not disclosed in the footnote:
(from Mr.Cancio)
As part of the 6 city Celebration tour of Havana Night Club, the
producer/promoter was supposed to present only one show in Miami, however, after
the original show sold out within a week after tickets went on sale and six
weeks prior to the day of the show, the producer/promoter decided to add two
additional shows in Miami in order to provide for the filming of a high
definition DVD, the hiring of an Oscar winning director and the recording of a
CD/Sound Track. These three shows combined, used up all funds available for the
tour.
Understanding the business as I do, having produced many of them, I understood
that being able to release a high definition DVD directed by a renown Oscar
winning director and releasing a live album prior to a tour would dramatically
impact future ticket sales for the remaining shows of the tour. I therefore
decided to allow the shows' producer/promoter to defer the repayment of the
Company's original investment for the next 5 shows to take place. However, this
was agreed with the understanding that I/fuego participate in any additional
shows added to the next 5 pending shows as the result of a sold out event in any
of the cities, which, if it happens, it will automatically trigger an additional
show.
An example of this is the next show which is scheduled for December 31s. at the
Miami Arena, a 15,000 seat venue. This will be the fourth time the show is
presented in the same city as the result of its popularity. It is my belief that
this show alone will allow total recovery of our original investment, and then
some.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.
Very truly yours,
/s/William D. O'Neal
