General
15.
In response to your comment we submit the following:
In
SEC Release No. 33-8587, published on July 15, 2005 (the “Release”), the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
defined a “shell company” as a company with no or nominal operations, and either no or nominal assets or assets consisting
of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. In adopting this definition, the Commission stated in the
Release that it was trying to better describe the type of companies that were involved in certain schemes referred to in the Release.
Specifically, it was focusing on companies which were essentially non-operating public companies that had no business or purpose
other than a potential business combination transaction. Thus, the purpose of the shell definition was to provide a mechanism
to address these types of schemes, and not to hamper the development of startups and development stage companies.
Further,
the Commission stated that it intentionally did not define the term “nominal” and it did not set a quantitative threshold
of what constitutes a shell company. The Commission stated, “We are not defining the term ‘nominal,’ as we believe
that this term embodies the principle that we seek to apply and is not inappropriately vague or ambiguous.”
As
previously stated, due to the less than precise definition of ‘nominal”, each issuer must be evaluated on a case by
case basis. In evaluating an issuer’s shell status, we must look at the requirements of the issuer to successfully operate
their business. What is more, the Commission has expressly stated in Footnote 172 of the Release, the restrictions of a shell
company as stated under Rule 144, generally, are not intended to “capture” startup companies with limited operating
history. Therefore, the fact that an issuer has limited operations and assets or is a development stage company does not make
an issuer a shell company, so long as it has taken active steps to implement a legitimate business plan, AND the issuer has no
intention of placing an operating business, with operations and/or assets in excess of nominal within the issuer in order to avoid
the restrictions of Rule 419 and seek an acquisition target otherwise.
We
do not believe that the Company is a “Shell” company. The Company is truly a company in the development stage. They
have been doing research on their business since 2010 and have paid outside consultants over $29,000 for extensive research. The
Company has a business plan and has made numerous steps toward the meeting its business plan, including visiting over 22 event
centers in three states, meeting with many individuals that could be involved in various ways, and continuing to develop the overall
concept. In addition the principal owners have devoted hundreds of hours over the last few years in gathering information and
talking to countless suppliers, event operators, and real estate developers to be in a position to move into an operational phase.
This offering will allow the Company to produce some tangible assets, such as drawings and construction bids to further its business
plan.
We
believe that we have responded to all your comments fairly and reasonably. Please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned as
soon as possible should you have any further questions or comments.
Thank
you for your cooperation and courtesies in this matter.
Very
truly yours,
Barnett
