that

Notes to Financial Statements, page 17
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, page 17
General
33. It appears from disclosures in the "Marketing" section on page
4
you incur advertising expenses. Please revise this Note to
disclose
your accounting policy for these expenses. We assume it complies
with SOP 93-7.
Revenue Recognition, page 17
34. Your revenue recognition policy is too generic. Please tell
us
and revise the note to explain the brokerage transaction and when,
in
the brokerage transaction, revenues are actually recognized. We
note
you inspect the commodity before shipment. Are there acceptance
provisions in your contracts that would affect revenue
recognition?
35. In a related matter, we note disclosures herein indicate you
act
as a broker without assuming the risks and rewards of ownership of
the goods, therefore sales are reported on a net basis. It
appears
to us you have recorded transactions on a gross basis given
disclosures on page 2 that "you bought hay for $35,568 and then
sold
it for $43,568, for a profit of exactly $8,000". Please tell us
how
you comply with EITF 99-19. Also, revise the filing as necessary
to
clarify a reader`s understanding of how you present revenue
transactions in your financial statements and to eliminate the
referenced confusing disclosures. We may have further comments
after
reviewing your response and revisions.
Note 3 - Common Stock, page 18
36. Please reconcile your disclosure to the information provided
under paragraph 4 of Certain Relationships and Related Parties,
page
6, wherein you indicate a business plan was purchased from Fresh
Veg
Broker.com, Inc for 40,000,000 Common shares. Tell us and revise
the
filing to explain the following:
* the methods and assumptions used to value the stock,
* how you accounted for the transaction (discuss how SAB Topic
5(G)
impacts your required accounting) and
* the reason the share issuance resulted in a debit to additional
paid in capital in an amount equal to the value of the stock
issued.
Revise the filing as necessary based on our comment. We may have
further comments after reviewing your response and revisions.
Note 5 - Commitments, page 18
37. We see you disclose you are using office space provided by a
related party on a rent-free, month to month basis. Please tell
us
why your financial statements do not reflect an expense for the
fair
value of the monthly rent with an offsetting entry to donated
capital. Note the guidance at SAB Topic 1(B)(1) requires the
financial statements to include all costs of doing business.
Index to Exhibits, page 19
38. We note that Exhibit 3 (Bylaws) is incorporated by reference.
It
is unclear why two sets of bylaws are filed as exhibits. Please
clarify, and identify the document from which this exhibit is
incorporated by reference.
