Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2021 Filed November 24, 2021 File No. 001-37606 Dear Ms. Baker and Mr. O’Brien: Anavex Life Sciences Corp. (the “Company”) is responding to the comment letter dated July 29, 2022 from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) with respect to the above-referenced filing. For your convenience, we have reproduced the Staff’s comment below in bold, followed by the Company’s response. Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2021 Management’s Discussion and Analysis Year Ended September 30, 2021, page 39 1. Given the importance of your research and development expenses to your operations, please provide disaggregated disclosures by product candidate or by nature of expenses incurred if you do not track these expenses by product candidate. If you do not track expenses separately by product candidate, please disclose this fact. The Company will provide the disaggregated disclosures by product candidate in its upcoming Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. The Company respectfully requests that it be permitted to provide such information prospectively since the Company engaged Grant Thornton as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on March 3, 2022 and dismissed BDO USA LLP (“BDO”) on March 1, 2022. BDO was the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 10, 2022 Page 2 September 30, 2021. Providing such information retroactively would result in significant cost and expense to the Company as the Company would be required to attempt to reengage BDO in connection with providing such information. If you have any additional questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me at 1-844- 689-3939 or sboenisch@anavexcorp.com Very truly yours, /s/Sandra Boenisch Sandra Boenisch Principal Financial Officer cc: Clayton E.

as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

Re: Anavex Life Sciences Corp.
Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-3
Filed August 26, 2016
File No. 333-207600
Dear Mr. Reynolds:
Anavex Life Sciences
Corp. (the “Company”) confirms receipt of the letter dated August 30, 2016 from the staff (the “Staff”)
of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) with respect to the August 26, 2016 filing
of the Company’s Amendment No. 2 to the registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”).
We are responding to the Staff’s comments as set forth below. The Company’s responses to the Staff’s comments
are in identical numerical sequence. For the convenience of the Staff, the comment is repeated verbatim with the Company’s
response immediately following:
The Lincoln Park Transaction, page
18
COMMENT 1: We
reissue prior comment 3. Please disclose the impact of the 2013 Lincoln Park resales on the market price of the company’s
stock. Please provide the basis for your statement that the sales did not have any discernable effect on the company’s stock
price. It appears that the stock price decreased after the effectiveness of the Form S-1 registering the resale of the Lincoln
Park shares.
RESPONSE: The
Company announced the purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”)
on July 8, 2013. The market price of the Company’s common stock closed at $0.58
on such date. The registration statement on Form S-1 went effective on October 23, 2013
and the market price of the Company’s common stock was $0.55. The market price
dipped to $0.50 on November 5, 2013. During the period from October 23, 2013 to November
5, 2013, LPC was issued 75,489 shares, which represented approximately 0.81% of the Company’s
outstanding shares of common stock as at October 23, 2013.
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
August 30, 2016
Page 2
Ninety percent of the shares sold
to LPC occurred during the period from July 13, 2015 through October 8, 2015. During this period, the Company’s stock price
increased from $2.12 ($0.53) to $7.99 ($1.98). We believe that the increase in the Company’s stock price in 2015 was due
to numerous factors in addition to the LPC transaction. As a result, we believe the conclusion that the LPC transaction had no
discernible effect on the Company’s stock price is a reasonable conclusion. However, we would propose adding language substantially
similar to the following language to the S-3 registration statement:
During the 2-week period subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement on Form S-1 relating to the 2013 LPC transaction, there
was a decrease in the market price of the Company’s common stock. During this period, the Company issued 75,489 shares
of common stock to LPC, which represented 0.81% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares as of the effective
date.
*********************************
In addition, we acknowledge
that we are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures made. We formally acknowledge that:
• The
adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in filing is the responsibility of the Company.
• Staff
comments or changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect
to the filing.
• The
Company may not assert Staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal
securities laws of the United States.
We trust this
response satisfactorily responds to your request. Should you require further information, please contact our legal counsel Clayton
E. Parker, Esq. of K&L Gates LLP at 305.539.3306.

COMMENT 2.
Please revise your proposed tabular disclosure to reflect
any provisions in the convertible note that could result in a change in
the conversion price per share upon the occurrence of certain events.
Please also identify any such provisions in the convertible note. In this
regard, we note the disclosure in your Form 8-K filed March 19, 2014 with
respect to the Securities Purchase Agreement indicating that the initial
conversion price for the debentures is subject to adjustment for
distributions payable in shares of common stock, subdivisions of
outstanding shares of common stock into larger number of shares,
combinations, and reclassification events.
RESPONSE:
In response to the Staff’s comment above, the Company
notes that there are no set, or prescribed, pre-determined
adjustments to the conversion price per share under the convertible
debentures that can be represented in tabular form. Pursuant to the
terms of the convertible debentures (Section 5(a)), there are four
(4) circumstances in which the conversion price of such instruments
would change, which is intended to maintain the initial ratio of
conversion shares to be issued relative to the initial conversion
price. Such four circumstances are: If the Company, at any time
while the convertible debenture is outstanding: (i) pays a stock
dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in
shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common
Stock”) on shares of Common Stock or any common stock
equivalents (which, do not include any shares of Common Stock
issued by the Company upon conversion of the convertible debentures),
(ii) subdivides the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of
a reverse stock split) the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event
of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of
capital stock of the Company, then the conversion price shall be
multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event,
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event (which
effectively maintains the initial ratio of conversion shares issued
to debt amount outstanding under each such convertible
debenture).

Registration Statement on Form S-1
Filed April 11, 2014
File No. 333-195225
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Anavex
Life Sciences Corp. (the “Company”) confirms receipt of the letter dated
April 30, 2014 from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) with respect to the
above-referenced filing (the “Registration Statement”). We are responding
to the Staff’s comments as set forth below. The Company’s responses to the
Staff’s comments are in identical numerical sequence. For the convenience of the
Staff, each comment is repeated verbatim with the Company’s response immediately
following.
COMMENT 1.
We note that you are registering the sale of 101,000,004
shares of common stock by various selling stockholders. Given the size
relative to the number of shares outstanding held by non-affiliates, the
nature of the offering and the selling security holders, the transaction
appears to be a primary offering. Because you are not eligible to conduct
a primary offering of this size on form S-3 you are not eligible to
conduct a primary at-the- market offering under Rule 415(a)(4).
If you disagree with our analysis, please advise the
staff of the company’s basis for determining that the transaction is
appropriately characterized as a transaction that is eligible to be made
under rule 415(a)(1)(i). In your analysis, please refer to Securities Act Rules C&DI Question 612.09 and address the following among any other relevant factors:
Jeffrey P. Riedler

•
How long the selling shareholders have held the shares;
•
The circumstances under which they received them;
•
Their relationship to the issuer;
•
The amount of shares involved;
•
Whether the sellers are in the business of underwriting securities; and
•
Whether under all the circumstances it appears that the seller is acting as a
conduit for the issuer.
RESPONSE:
None of the shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) to be registered under the Registration Statement are currently directly held by any of the selling security holders listed therein (such holders, the “Selling Security Holders”); none of such shares have been issued by the Company. The shares of Common Stock to be registered under the Registration Statement underlie convertible securities (senior debentures, the “Debentures”, and warrants, the “Warrants”, collectively, the “Securities”) issued to the Selling Security Holders pursuant to the securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) entered into by and among the Company and the Selling Security Holders on March 13, 2014 (such transaction, the “Investment”). As such, the Selling Security Holders are currently indirect beneficial owners of the shares of Common Stock to be registered under the Registration Statement. The debt evidenced by the Debentures has a thirty (30) year maturity date, and until the maturity date, such debt is convertible into shares of Common Stock in satisfaction thereof. The Warrants have a term of five (5) years. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and ancillary documents, the Company agreed to register all of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Debentures and Warrants on behalf of the Selling Security Holders. Upon exercise of the Warrants, or conversion of the Debentures, an applicable amount of shares of Common Stock shall be issued to the exercising or converting Selling Security Holder. The Company shall not receive any proceeds from the sale of such shares of Common Stock sold by the Selling Security Holders under the Registration Statement.
Jeffrey P. Riedler
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
May 22, 2014
Page 3
None of the Selling Security Holders had any business relationship or
entered into any securities related transactions with the Company prior to
the Investment. To the Company’s knowledge, none of the Selling Security
Holders are in the business of underwriting securities.
With respect to the amount of shares of Common Stock involved, the
Company has only submitted the Registration Statement pursuant to its
obligations to the Selling Security Holders under the terms of the Securities
Purchase Agreement and ancillary documents, not on its own behalf, and is
willing to submit for registration only that amount of shares underlying the
Debentures and Warrants as would be acceptable to the Commission to
constitute a Rule 415(a)(1)(i) offering, which the Company anticipates will
be approximately one-third of its public float, or 11,011,422 shares (the “1/3 Shares”) of its current public float of 33,034,265 shares.
Considering the foregoing relevant factors, the Selling Security Holders are
acting on their own behalf in accordance with their own investment intent
and not as a conduit for the Company, and as such, the Company does not
believe that the offering constitutes a primary offering, but rather qualifies
as a Rule 415(a)(1)(i) offering.
COMMENT 2.
Please provide us, with a view toward disclosure in the prospectus, with the total
dollar value of the securities underlying the convertible notes that you have
registered for resale (using the number of underlying securities that you have
registered for resale and the market price per share for those securities on the
date of the sale of the convertible notes).
RESPONSE:
On the date of the sale of the Securities, March 18, 2014, the closing price
of the Common Stock was $0.44 per share. As such, the dollar value of the
33,333,336 shares initially listed in the Registration Statement underlying
the Debentures would be $14,666,668. The dollar value of the 101,000,004
shares underlying all of the Securities would be $4,440,002, and the dollar
value of the 1/3 Shares would be $4,845,026.
COMMENT 3.
Please provide us, with a view toward disclosure in the prospectus, with tabular disclosure of the dollar amount of each payment (including the value of any
payments to be made in common stock) in connection with the transaction that
you have made or may be required to make to any selling shareholder, any
affiliate of a selling shareholder, or any person with whom any selling
shareholder has a contractual relationship regarding the transaction (including
any interest payments, liquidated damages, payments made to “finders” or
“placement agents,” and any other payments or potential payments). Please provide footnote disclosure of the terms of each such payment. Please do not include any repayment of principal on the convertible notes in this disclosure.

Further, please provide us, with a view toward disclosure in the prospectus, with disclosure of the net proceeds to the issuer from the sale of the convertible notes, and the total possible payments to all selling shareholders and any of their affiliates in the first year following the sale of convertible notes.
RESPONSE:
In response to the Staff’s comment above, the Company has set forth below the dollar amount of each payment (including the value of any payments to be made in common stock) in connection with the issuance of the Securities to the Selling Security Holders made by the Company or that may be required to be made by the Company to any Selling Security Holder, any affiliate of a Selling Security Holder, or any person with whom any Selling Security Holder has a contractual relationship regarding the Investment (including any interest payments, liquidated damages, payments made to “finders” or “placement agents,” and any other payments or potential payments):

COMMENT 4.
Please provide us, with a view toward disclosure in the prospectus, with tabular disclosure of:
•
the total possible profit the selling shareholders could realize as a result of the conversion discount for the securities underlying the convertible note, presented in a table with the following information disclosed separately:
•
the market price per share of the securities underlying the convertible note on the date of the sale of the convertible note;
•
the conversion price per share of the underlying securities on the date of the sale of the convertible note, calculated as follows:
- if the conversion price per share is set at a fixed price, use the price per share established in the convertible note; and
•
the total possible shares underlying the convertible note (assuming no interest payments and complete conversion throughout the term of the note);
•
the combined market price of the total number of shares underlying the convertible note, calculated by using the market price per share on the date of the sale of the convertible note and the total possible shares underlying the convertible note;

•
the total possible shares the selling shareholders may receive and the combined conversion price of the total number of shares underlying the convertible note calculated by using the conversion price on the date of the sale of the convertible note and the total possible number of shares the selling shareholders may receive; and
•
the total possible discount to the market price as of the date of the sale of the convertible note calculated by subtracting the total conversion price on the date of the sale of the convertible note from the combined market price of the total number of shares underlying the convertible note on that date.
If there are provisions in the convertible note that could result in a change in the price per share upon the occurrence of certain events, please provide additional
tabular disclosure as appropriate.

Dear Sirs/Mesdames:
Re:
Anavex Life Sciences Corp. (the
“Company”)
Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended
September 30, 2009
File Number: 000-51652
Thank you for your letter of March 12, 2010 regarding the
annual report noted above. The Company provide here written responses to your
comments. Our responses are numbered in a manner that corresponds with your
comments as set out in your letter.
Item 2. Properties, page 29
1.
As at September 30, 2009, the Company was continuing to
pay Eurogenet Labs an amount of $70,000 per month (the amount has recently
increased) by way of a lease for the premises in which our research and
development activities are being performed. This lease expense has been
included with research and development expenses in the financial
statements for each of the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. We
previously had a lease agreement with a CASAD, a Swiss company for the
rent of premises in Switzerland. This lease ended in July, 2008 and it was
not renewed. The agreement with CASAD was for office space in respect of
the Company’s administration; the amount of $75,000 reflected in the
Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2008 was in
respect of this lease. At the time the CASAD lease terminated, the
Company’s administration was moved to British Columbia and the Company has
not been charged rent for its administration since that
time.
Consolidated Financial Statements
Report of the Independent Registered Accounting Firm
2.
The Company’s President, who also holds the title of
Chief Financial Officer, is resident in British Columbia. The President is
responsible for the administration of the Company. The majority of the
Company’s assets, primarily cash, are located in British
Columbia.
- 2 -
The accounting records of the Company
are maintained in British Columbia and the majority of the audit work was
performed in British Columbia. The Company’s auditors performed their audit in
British Columbia and there were no other auditors relied upon.
BDO Canada LLP is registered with the
PCAOB. We believe that our connection to Canada and our status as a reporting
issuer to the British Columbia Securities Commission make the selection of and
auditor that is registered with both PCAOB and the Canadian Public
Accountability Board (“CPAB”) appropriate. It is practical and cost effective
for us to engage an auditor who is registered with both PCAOB and CPAB and who
is located in Canada. We have no knowledge of or relationship with an auditor
who is registered with both entities and who is located in the U.S.
The majority of our tangible assets and
liabilities are located in British Columbia including maintenance of bank
accounts, which are with Canadian financial institutions.
Our company is a reporting issuer with
the British Columbia Securities Commission due to its connection with British
Columbia, Canada. Therefore, we believe it is reasonable to have an auditor
located in Canada and in the best interests of our company to have an auditor
registered and in good standing with the Canadian Public Accountability Board.
BDO Dunwoody is such a firm.
In 2009, our audit was performed
entirely in Vancouver, British Columbia by a engagement team based in Vancouver.
We do not expect this to change for 2010. The audit partner in Vancouver was and
will continue to be responsible for PCAOB auditing standard compliance.
The “filing reviewer” procedures
outlined in Section 1000.08n of the PCAOB Interim Quality Control Standards was
and will continue to be applied. BDO (in the United States) will provide a
filing reviewer.
BDO Canada LLP currently performs the
audits of 36 SEC registrants (including dual listed clients). The
Vancouver-based engagement team uses BDO’s PCAOB GAAS/US GAAP checklists in the
audit. The audit partner responsible for the engagement in Vancouver, together
with the manager and certain staff attend BDO sponsored education programs,
which cover US GAAP, PCAOB audit standards, independence and SEC rules and
regulations.
Foreign Currency Translation
3.
The Company’s functional currency is the US dollar given
that all of the Company’s financing is done in the US dollar as well as
the majority of its expenses are incurred in US currency. In future
filings, the disclosure will be revised to identify the functional
currency. The Company does hold small, insignificant balances of Canadian
dollars and Euros. As such, the effect of exchange rate changes on cash is
immaterial to disclose as a separate part of the reconciliation of the
change in cash and cash equivalents.
- 3 -
The Company acknowledges that:
the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure
in the filing;
staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do
not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the
filing; and
the Company may not assert staff comments as a defence in any proceeding
initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of
the United States.
We look forward to any further comments you may have with
respect to our responses.

Item 2. Properties, page 29
1. We note that your disclosure here indicates that the research facility the Company
rents from Eurogenet Labs houses a ll of Anavex’s operations, including
administration, research and developm ent, for a lease of $70,000 per month.
However, in “Results of Operations” on pa ge 33, you disclose that the lease expired
during 2008 and that, as a consequence, you pa id no rental or administration fees for
the year ended September 30, 2009 and only $75,000 for the previous year. Please
revise your disclosure to rectify this apparent disc repancy. If you have not been
paying rental fees to Eurogenet Labs since 2008, please disclose the information

Re. Thrifty Printing, Inc.
Registration Statement on Form SB-2
Amendment No. 3 filed July 29, 2005
File No. 333-122005
Dear Mr. Wu:
We have reviewed your filing and have the following
comments.
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

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. Please note that the page numbers
referred to below refer to the numbering of the non-EDGAR marked
copy.
General
1. As noted in our first comment letter, Section (a)(2) of Rule
419
defines a blank check company as a company that is issuing penny
stock that is "a development stage company that has no specific
business plan." In discussing this definition in the adopting
release, the Commission stated that it would "scrutinize . . .
offerings for attempts to create the appearance that the
registrant .
. . has a specific business plan, in an effort to avoid the
application of Rule 419." See Security Act Release No. 6932
(April
13, 1992). We note that throughout the prospectus, when the
company
discusses its business plan, the company uses terms such as
"should
strive," "plan," "expect," or "may raise." Also, it is unclear
whether officers and directors will contribute funds necessary to
implement the business plan or whether the company will attempt to
raise additional capital. Please
significantly revise the disclosure to include a specific business
plan in which the company has a clear plan to obtain funding and
to
implement its plan. Otherwise, please provide disclosure to
comply
with Rule 419. See our comments in the MD&A section.
Prospectus Summary, page 4
Our Business, page 4
2. We note the statements that "[i]n order to fund our plan of
operation, we anticipate that we will require an additional
$59,000
to $82,000 for the next three months. We have a plan to raise the
funds through a private placement or loans from directors of the
company." Please revise in light of comment one and our comments
in
the MD&A section.
Number of Shares Being Offered, page 4
3. We note your cross-reference to the "Plan of Distribution"
section. Revise the registration statement to delete the use of
cross-references from the forepart of the prospectus except for
the
cross-reference to the risk factors on the cover page.
Risk Factors, page 5
Risks Associated with Our Common Stock, page 8
4. In risk factor three under this subsection, we note the
subheading
that states "could affect the ability of our stockholders to
realize
any current trading price of our common stock." We note that the
company`s stock is currently not trading. Please revise.
Securities and Exchange Commission`s Public Reference, page 10
5. Please include the Commission`s new address: 100 F Street,
N.E.,
Washington, DC 20549.
Description of Business, page 18
Marketing, page 19
6. We note the statement "[w]e will need to raise additional funds
to
carry out the advertisement." Please describe whether the company
will raise the additional funds.
7. Please describe whether the company has listed its website
address
on Google or Yahoo. If not, please explain when the company will

Competition, page 20
8. On page 21, under the subheading "Significant cost savings," we
note the statement "we are able to offer approx. 50% off of
average
price referred to in the above chart." It appears that table does
not include all photofinishing companies that offer their services
over the internet. Please remove this statement and include a
statement which provides that the chart does not include all
competitors.
9. On page 21, under the subheading "Convenience," we note the
statement "[t]he more corner store dealers we have, the more
customers we will have." This statement appears to be
promotional.
Please provide a reasonable basis for the statement or remove.
Growth Strategy, page 21
10. Please describe whether the company will contact website
affiliates to establish relationships and enter into arrangements
where the company will place its website ad on the affiliate`s
website.

22

11. We note the statement ""[o]ur operating activities during this
period consist of primarily . . . establishing our core presence
as
an internet website." Please describe how the company has been
establishing its core presence as an internet website.
12. Please explain the statement "[h]owever, until we receive lots
of
orders after the website is fully operational with new additional
features in the future, we will not generate any significant
revenue." Will the company receive lots of orders after the
website
is fully operational with additional features? Why will the
company
receive lots of orders? Why does the website need the additional
features to receive orders? How is the website fully operational
if
it needs these additional features? Please explain.
13. On page 23, we note the statement that "[i]n our management
opinion to effectuate our business plan in the next twelve months
the
following events need to occur or we should strive to reach the
following milestones in order for us to become profitable."
Please
revise to state that the company will effectuate or will make
every
attempt and a good faith effort to effectuate the business plan in
the next twelve months.
14. On page 23, we note in the first milestone that the company
states "(1) We must further improve the quality of our website by
adding the following features." Please revise to state, if true,
that the company will add the following new features to improve
its
website.
15. On page 23, we note the statement that "(2) we must continue
to
increase online promotional efforts to sell our services,
encouraging
customers to download their photographs for photofinishing by us."
Please revise to state, if true, that the company will undertake
such
efforts. Please revise similar disclosure such as "plan to carry
on
low cost advertisements through printed media," "we plan to join
the
`Print Ontario` trade show," "we will also try to list our
website,"
and "we also plan to list our website on all of these kinds of
search
websites."
16. Please explain the statement on page 23 that "[i]n the opinion
of
management, available funds will probably not satisfy our working
capital requirements through September 30, 2005." Please
describe
the company`s capital requirements. Please describe whether
officers
and directors will contribute the necessary capital. Please
explain
how much capital officers and directors will contribute, when such
contribution will be made and on what terms, e.g., loans.
17. On page 23, we note the statement "[w]e anticipate that we
will
need to raise additional capital to continue operations." Please
explain why the company needs additional capital to continue its
operations. If the company only needs to raise capital to
implement
its business plan please clarify. Please explain how much capital
the company will need to implement its business plan and/or to
continue with its operations. It may be helpful to discuss how
much
capital the company will need to raise, if any, in order for the
company to generate revenues.
18. We note the statement that "[s]uch additional capital may be
raised through public or private financing as well as borrowing
and
other sources." In light of the disclosure of the immediate cash
requirements of the company, please specifically explain how the
company will obtain the additional funding.
Cash Requirements, page 23
19. On page 24, we note the statement that "[o]ur directors and
officers intend to contribute by way of loan up to an additional
$50,000 of their own funds collectively toward our Company first
before we need to seek financing through private placement and
will
lend the fund when it is required." Please specifically describe
which milestones the company will implement with the $50,000.
Also
describe which milestones the company will implement if it raises
capital. Please describe at what stage in the business plan the
company will generate revenues and/or be able to sustain
operations.
20. In light of the company`s poor financial condition, please
explain why the company is only registering the resale of common
stock and not raising capital in this offering. If the company`s
business plan does not include raising capital in a public
offering
please explain.
21. On page 24, we note the statement "[t]here are no assurances
that
we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued
operations." Please reconcile this statement with the disclosure
on

way of loan up to an additional $50,000."

File No. 333-122005
Registration Statement on Form SB-2
Amendment 1 filed March 17, 2005
Dear Mr. Wu:
We have reviewed your filing and have the following
comments.
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. We note your response to our previous comment one and repeat
the
comment in part. If you believe that you do not fall within the
definition of a blank check company, appropriate disclosure should
be
included in your prospectus to demonstrate your status as a non-
blank
check company, including the assurance of the company`s intention
not
to enter into a merger or acquisition. Please also include a
specific plan for implementing such business plan.
2. We note your response to our previous comment two. We note
that
on page 19 of the initial SB-2 filing filed on January 13, 2005,
you
state that 2,000,000 shares of common stock were outstanding on
December 31, 2004. In amendment one, on page 20, you state that
3,200,000 shares were outstanding on February 28, 2005. In
amendment
one, in the Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities section, you
state that the company further sold 1,200,000 shares of common
stock
to its directors and officers on December 31, 2004. We note that
this transaction was not disclosed in the initial registration
statement. Please explain why neither the additional 1,200,000
shares outstanding nor the transaction involving the company
selling
the 1,200,000 shares to its officers and directors was disclosed
in
the initial registration statement. In addition, please explain
why
the interim statements of operations for the three months ended
December 31, 2004 reflect the weighted average number of shares
outstanding as 2,000,000 shares. We may have further comments.

provide
services with cheaper price than supermarket stores and

referring

removed.
26. In general, some of the information in the business section
appears promotional, rather than factual, and should be revised to
remove all promotional statements. We refer, for example, to the

Re: Thrifty Printing, Inc.
File No. 333-122005
Registration Statement on Form SB-2
Filed January 13, 2005
Dear Mr. Wu:
We have reviewed your filing and have the following
comments.
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. Section (a)(2) of Rule 419 defines a blank check company as a
company that is issuing penny stock that is "a development stage
company that has no specific business plan or purpose or has
indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or
acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, or other
entity." In discussing this definition in the adopting release,
the
Commission stated that it would "scrutinize . . . offerings for
attempts to create the appearance that the registrant . . . has a
specific business plan, in an effort to avoid the application of
Rule
419." See Security Act Release No. 6932 (April 13, 1992).
Your disclosure indicates that you are a development stage company
that intends to be an on-line photofinishing company. Your
disclosure also shows, that you have no assets other than cash of
$28,110, no revenues, no operations, no developed website, no
experience in the on-line photofinishing business and no full-time
employees. We note that the company is not raising any capital in
this offering. It is uncertain from your disclosure whether the
company will be able to implement its business plan based on the
amount of its current cash position. It is unclear if and how the
company will raise additional capital. Also, it appears from the
disclosure that the company may not be able to make a profit based
on
the expenses and revenues in the proposed business. Furthermore,
we
note that the company lacks a specific plan of operations for the
next twelve months.
In view of the foregoing, it appears that your proposed business
may
be commensurate in scope with the uncertainty ordinarily
associated
with a blank check company. Accordingly, please revise your
disclosure throughout your registration statement to comply with
Rule
419 of Regulation C or supplementally provide a detailed
explanation
as to why Rule 419 does not apply to this offering. If you
believe
that you do not fall within the definition of a blank check
company,
appropriate disclosure to demonstrate your status as a non-blank
check company should be included in the prospectus as well as a
specific business plan. We offer the following comments to help
you
revise your disclosure.
2. We note the registration statement covers the resale of 76% of
the
shares of common stock outstanding of Thrifty Printing, Inc. in
your
initial public offering. Under these facts, your offering appears
to
be an "at the market offering of equity securities by or on behalf
of
the registrant" under Rule 415(a)(4) of Regulation C through the
selling security holders who appear to be underwriters under the
Securities Act. Because Thrifty Printing, Inc. does not qualify
to
conduct an offering "at the market," please revise the terms of
your
offering to provide that all offers and sales will be made at a
disclosed fixed price for the duration of the offering, as would
be
required in a primary offering by Thrifty Printing, Inc. Under
Rule
415(a)(1)(ix), the offering must be prompt
and continuous for the duration of the offering. Note that
Thrifty
Printing, Inc. does not
appear to qualify to conduct a delayed offering under Rule
415(a)(1)(x). Please expand
the disclosure to explain how the offering will be conducted in a
prompt and continuous manner. If you disagree that the offering
should be considered a primary offering by Thrifty Printing,
please
provide your analysis supplementally.
3. In Note 1 to the financial statements, the company states
"[m]anagement has plans to seek additional capital through a
public
offering of its common stock." We note that the company is not
seeking to raise capital in this offering. Further, it appears
that
there is no reference in the registration statement to the company
raising capital in a public offering. Please explain throughout
the
applicable parts of the registration statement the company`s plan
to
raise capital in relation to the disclosure in Note 1.
4. On the prospectus cover page, and throughout the prospectus,
you
make reference to getting the company`s shares listed on the OTC
Bulletin Board. Wherever such disclosure is provided, additional
disclosure should be provided to the effect that there can be no
assurances that the company will be approved for listing on the
OTC
Bulletin Board. We note, for example, the language in the
footnote
on page 10 of the prospectus.
Table of Contents
5. We note that most your table of contents is in all capital
letters. All capital letters impede the readability of the
disclosure. Instead of all capital letters, use bold face type or
italics to highlight the information. Revise throughout the
prospectus as necessary.
Prospectus Summary
6. We note that the company states that it has commenced
operations
on October 1, 2004 and that "[w]e are an on-line photofinishing
company." Please reconcile with the disclosure on page 21 of the
business section that "[w]e are a development stage company that
has
not commenced business operations." If the company has begun
operations, please briefly describe such operations.
7. Please include a brief summary of your proposed business plan.
See Item 503 of Regulation S-B.
8. We note the statement that the company has not "generated any
significant revenue since inception." Please revise to indicate
that
the company has not generated any revenues since inception. In
addition, please include that the company has had a net loss.
9. We note the statement that "we anticipate that we will require
an
additional $25,000 to $30,000 through October, 2005." Please
indicate whether the company has any plans to raise capital.
10. We note that the company states that "[o]ur financial
statements
contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances
that
lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors." Instead of
referring to the note in the financial statements, it may be more
useful for readers to summarize the note in this section. Please
revise.
Risk Factors
11. Please revise risk factor one to focus only on the risk in the
subheading that the company has had no cash flow from operations
and
the risk to the company if it is unable to obtain future
financing.
We note that the company refers to satisfying its cash
requirements
until December 31, 2004. Please update this information to
discuss
how the company will satisfy its cash requirements for the next 12
months. Please include the risk to the company if it is unable to
obtain additional capital. Does the company have a plan to raise
capital in the next 12 months? The risks regarding unexpected
expenses, dilution and increase liabilities from commercial loans
are
separate risks. Please revise. In addition, the first risk
factor
states that the company`s year end is both September 30 and
December
31. Please revise and clarify these statements here and
throughout
the prospectus as necessary.
12. You should present as risk factors only those factors that
represent a material risk to investors in this offering. Do not
include risk factors that could apply to any issuer or to any
other
offering. Several of your risk factors seem to fit into this
category and you should revise to cite a particular risk, or
remove
them. For example, please see risk factors 2, 8, 10 and 21.
13. In risk factor three, it may be more useful for reader to
discuss
whether the company will likely generate revenues in the next 12
months or will it be dependent upon raising capital.
14. Risk factor four is similar to risk factor one and you may
want
to consider combining these risk factors. You may want to specify
whether the company currently has enough funds for expanding the
website and marketing before September 30, 2005. If not, please
explain in more detail the company`s plan for funding. In
addition,
you should revise to remove other risk factors such as dilution
and
defaulting on future debts.
15. In risk factor five, please specify the assets. In addition,
please specify the country, China. It may be important to discuss
the possible difficulties for investors to enforce civil
liabilities
