The Company would appreciate receiving any further questions or comments that the Staff may have regarding this letter or the POSAM at the Staff’s earliest convenience. You should contact the undersigned at (212) 818 – 9200.

(the “Company”) Registration Statement on Form S-1 Filed February 1, 2018 File No. 333-222809 (the “Registration Statement) Dear Ms. Long: We serve as corporate counsel to the Company and have been requested to submit the following responses to the comment letter the Company received from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) dated February 26, 2018 regarding the Registration Statement. Page references in the Company’s responses to your comments are to the Pre-effective Amendment No. 1. COMMENT 1: GENERAL. We note that your registration statement on Form S-1, File no. 333-212770, has not been updated to include your audited financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2017, as required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act and your Item 512(a)(i) undertaking. Please advise whether any offers or sales have been made under that registration statement since December 31, 2017, the date by which information should have been updated. We may have further comment upon review of your response. Company Response to Comment 1: The Company has updated the filing to include its audited financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2017, as well as the interim unaudited financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2018, as required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act and its Item 512(a)(i) undertaking. Please be advised that, based upon enquiry of the Company’s stock transfer agent, since December 31, 2017 no sales of the Company’s shares have been made pursuant to the prospectus contained in the registration statement on Form S-1, File No. 333-212770. 1 Please also be advised that a stop transfer restriction has been placed on the Company’s shares registered for resale and all of the named selling stockholders have been advised that the prospectus contained in the registration statement cannot be relied upon until such time as the registration statement is declared effective. However, it is the Company’s view that should any of the named Selling Stockholders wish to utilize Rule 144 with respect to the sale of any of their registered shares, subject to compliance with requirements of Rule 144, such Selling Stockholders should be entitled to do so. COMMENTS 2 AND 3: CALCULATION OF REGISTRATION FEE TABLE. 2. The disclosure of the securities listed in the fee table and on the prospectus cover page and elsewhere in the prospectus appears to contain several errors. The prospectus cover page refers to 821,600 shares as underlying “Series P” instead of “Series S” warrants that are exercisable for $3.42 per share. Regarding shares previously registered for resale, the fee table does not indicate that any of these 1,527,445 shares are still subject to the exercise of Series P warrants, although the prospectus cover page indicates that 86,500 shares are issuable upon exercise of Series P warrants. Please revise as necessary to reconcile your disclosures between the cover page and fee table, and elsewhere in the prospectus as necessary. Company Response to Comment 2: The Registration Fee Table footnote no. 4 that corresponds to the 821,600 shares underlying the Series S Warrants properly references that these 821,600 shares are related to Series S Warrants and does not reference our Series P Warrants as indicated in Comment 2. Under the “Prospectus,” item (c), we have updated the reference to Series P Warrants to refer instead to Series S Warrants. Please refer to page ii. Under the “Offering,” “Shares Being Registered (c),” we have updated the reference to Series P Warrants to refer instead to Series S Warrants. Please refer to pages 1 and 4. 3. We note your footnote five disclosure that you are using Rule 457(g) to calculate the registration fee. Since the transaction you are registering is the resale of shares by selling stockholders at market prices, the registration fee for these shares should be calculated based on the highest of the price at which the warrants may be exercised or the price of securities of the same class determined in accordance with Rule 457(c), or the last sale reported for your securities on OTCQB within five business days prior to the filing of your registration statement. Please see Rule 457(c) and (g) and revise accordingly in your next amendment. Company Response to Comment 3: The registration fee calculation has been recalculated (as of the original filing date) in accordance with the Comment 3 (and the rule reference amended), resulting in an increase in the registration fee of $460.50, which amount has been paid. Please refer to page ii. Comment 4: Shares Outstanding upon Closing of the Offering, page 4. 4. Please disclose the number of shares outstanding assuming the exercise of all of the warrants overlying shares that may be sold under this registration statement. Company Response to Comment 4: The maximum number of shares that may be outstanding, assuming the exercise of the warrants results in the issuance of all of the underlying shares, has been disclosed. Please refer to page 4. 2 COMMENT 5: RISK FACTORS, PAGE 7. 5. We note the first risk factor under the heading ‘Risks related to our Business’ where you indicate that your auditor has issued a going concern explanation in their report on your most recent audited financial statement. We further note the audit report included on page F-14 which does not appear to include a going concern explanation. Please revise your filing to correct this discrepancy. Company Response to Comment 5: We have revised the registration statement to remove the wording “and our auditors have issued a going concern explanation in their report on our most recent audited financial statements.” Please refer to page 7. COMMENT 6: WE MAY COMPETE FOR THE TIME AND EFFORTS OF OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS, PAGE 8. 6. Please clarify whether your officers and directors owe fiduciary duties to any other companies or entities, and, if so, please revise your risk factors to disclose how such duties may affect your business and operations. Company Response to Comment 6: The risk factor disclosure has been expanded to include a discussion regarding the potential impact on the Company should its non-employee directors (all but one) not devote such time and effort to the Company’s business activities as may reasonably be required. Please refer to page 8. A similar disclosure has been added on page 44. COMMENT 7: THERE ARE WARRANTS TO PURCHASE SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK CURRENTLY OUTSTANDING, PAGE 16 7. Please reconcile the information about the number and range of exercise prices of warrants currently outstanding with the information disclosed under “Warrants” on page 52. Company Response to Comment 7: We have updated the number of warrants outstanding as disclosed on page 16 under Risk Factors and the warrant table on page 52 to reflect the number of warrants outstanding as of February 28, 2018 of 2,909,850 warrants. COMMENT 8: THERE IS A CONVERTIBLE NOTE IN THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF $3,000,000 … PAGE 16. 8. Please disclose the number of shares and warrants you would be obligated to issue if KCC elected to convert the entirety of amounts owing under the 2013 Note. Company Response to Comment 8: The number of shares and warrants issuable to KCC (if it were to convert its $3,000,000 convertible note (plus accrued interest of $1,116,377) has been included under Risk Factors on page 16 and totals 3,004,655 shares and 3,004,655 Warrants assuming conversion on April 20, 2018 at a conversion price of $1.37 per share. Please refer to page 18 COMMENT 9: WE HAVE ENTERED INTO REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEME NTS WITH KCC …, PAGE 16. 9. Please disclose the number of shares with respect to which KCC has registration rights. 3 Company Response to Comment 9: Pursuant to the October 7, 2013 registration rights agreement, KCC has registration rights as to 9,766,940 shares of the Company’s common stock. Please refer to page 18. COMMENT 10: DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE, PAGE 18. 10. Please confirm that that the underlying securities in the “units” disclosed in this section are not being registered in this offering and clarify why the conversion price of units is relevant to this offering. Company Response to Comment 10: This section has been revised so as to remove the references to units. Please refer to page 20. Comment 11: Market Price of and Dividends on our Common Stock . . . , page 19. 11. Please update the table to include, in addition to stock price information for the two most recently completed fiscal years, information for any subsequent interim period for which financial statements are required to be included. Please see Item 201(a)(1)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Company Response to Comment 11: We have updated the market price table so as to include the two most recently completed fiscal quarters. Please refer to page 20. COMMENT 12: TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS . . . , PAGE 49. 12. We note disclosure that you are required to report transactions in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000. Please note that as a smaller reporting company, you must disclose transactions that exceed the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of your total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years. Based on your audited financial statements, it appears that the threshold for you to disclose related party transactions is significantly less than $120,000. Please see Item 404(d) of Regulation S- K, and revise as necessary to describe the correct threshold and all related party transactions meeting that threshold. Company Response to Comment 12: We have updated the threshold description and the related transactions requiring disclosure. Please refer to pages 51, 52 and 53. COMMENT 13: WARRANTS, PAGE 52. We note disclosure in note 4 to the audited financial statements regarding the June 2016 private placement of units containing Series Q and Series R warrants and the March 2016 private placement of PPM Units containing Series O and Series P warrants. Please tell us whether the Series Q and Series O warrants were outstanding as of the date of the table, or include them in the table. Company Response to Comment 13: The warrant table has been updated as of the date indicated and includes all unexercised warrants. The Company issued two Q warrants for 468,750 shares each pursuant to the June 2016 private placement. Both were converted, in full, on a cashless basis on September 7, 2017. The Series O warrants expired on October 31, 2017 and were either exercised or expired unexercised. Please refer to page 54. 4 COMMENT 14: SELLING STOCKHOLDER TABLE, PAGE 57. 14.

Please disclose here whether you failed to file any required registration statements and whether amounts owned by selling shareholders include any additional shares of common stock you were required to issue.

Please revise your disclosure to indicate that your consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2017 and 2016 have been audited by Peterson Sullivan, LLP. Company Response to Comment 16: The revision has been made. Please refer to page 63. COMMENT 17: ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS, PAGE II-2. 17.

Response: We have revised the statement as requested. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management, page 45 Comment: 2. You state here and under “The Selling Stockholder,” on page 51, that KCC beneficially owns 24,052,201 shares out of 24,310,518 shares currently outstanding, which is 98.94% of the shares currently outstanding. However, you represent this as representing ownership of 62.3% of your common stock. You also state on page 51 that if all shares registered in this prospectus are sold, KCC will beneficially own 46.8% of your common stock, rather than the 74.26% of your stock that KCC’s remaining18,052,201 shares represents.

Any securities not outstanding which are subject to such options, warrants, rights or conversion privileges shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of outstanding securities of the class owned by such person but shall not be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of the class by any other person.” See 17 CFR 240.13d-3(d)(1)(i) Accordingly, the shares issuable to KCC upon exercise of outstanding warrants and conversion of the Convertible Note have been added to the current number of shares outstanding when calculating KCC’s beneficial ownership percentage. To mitigate any potential confusion by the reader we have revised the footnotes to the respective tables to include a more detailed explanation as to how the beneficial ownership percentage has been calculated. Exhibit 5.1 Comment: 3. On page 2 you state that your opinions are based on the assumptions that “any securities that consist of shares of capital stock will have been authorized and reserved for issuance, in each case within the limits of the then authorized but unissued and unreserved amounts of such capital stock; [and] the resolutions authorizing the company to issue, offer and sell the Securities will have been adopted by the Company’s Board … and will be in full force and effect at all times at which the Securities are offered or sold by the Company.” Please note that these assumptions are inappropriate.

(the “Company”) in connection with the preparation of the above referenced Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”). On behalf of the Company, please find the following response to the comment letter dated September 17, 2014. We apologize for the delay in our response, however the Company was in the process of preparing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 and we wanted to include the full fiscal year financial information in the Company’s pre-effective amendment on Form S-1/A. For ease of reference we have reproduced the comments below in bold, followed by our response. General Comment: 1. We note that you are seeking to register the resale of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series J Stock Purchase Warrants and Series K Stock Purchase Warrants, which are issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes. Please note that it is not appropriate to register the resale of shares of common stock underlying securities that have not yet been issued. As the Series J warrants and Series K warrants are not currently outstanding, it is not appropriate to register the resale of the shares that may be issuable upon exercise of these warrants. Please revise accordingly, and please file an appropriately updated legal opinion. Response: We have amended the Registration Statement so that the Company is now offering for resale by the Selling Stockholder only the shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible note and shares that were purchased by the Selling Stockholder from the Company, or its affiliates, in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Additionally, we have revised our legal opinion to cover the shares that are being offered for resale as described herein. 430 Park Avenue, Suite 702, New York, New York 10022 Tel: 212-246-3030 ● Fax: 212-246-3039 ● Web: www.SandCllp.com 1 Sierchio & Company, LLP Comment: 2. Your fee table includes the common stock that Kalen is offering for resale, as well as various warrants and units. Please clarify what transactions you are registering on this registration statement. For example, are you trying to register your issuance of the warrants and units to Kalen, or Kalen’s resale of the warrants and units? If you are only registering Kalen’s resale of common stock, note that you do not need to include the other securities in the table. Response: We have revised the fee table to register only the maximum number of shares issuable to the Selling Stockholder upon conversion of the convertible note and a fixed number of shares of common stock that were purchased by the Selling Stockholder from the Company, or its affiliates, in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Offering, page 9 Comment 3. You state here that you give the number of shares outstanding after closing of the offering without giving effect to the exercise of any warrants. Please also disclose the number of shares you would have outstanding upon the exercise of all warrants whose underlying shares you are registering for resale. Response: The Company is no longer registering for resale shares of common stock issuable to the Selling Stockholder upon exercise of warrants; accordingly, we have revised the disclosure of the number of shares outstanding upon closing of the offering to include the maximum number of shares issuable to the Selling Stockholder upon conversion of the convertible note, but not upon exercise of options or warrants.

Accordingly, the registration fee table, and the corresponding amount of registration fee payable, include both the shares of common stock included as part of the units and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series H Stock Purchase Warrants included as part of the units.
Additionally, the Form S-1 describes the Units as follows:
“Each Unit consists of:
·
one (1) share of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share (collectively, the “Unit Shares”); and
·
one-half (1/2) Series H Stock Purchase Warrant (collectively, the “Series H Warrants”).
Each full Series H Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional share of our common (the “Warrant Shares”) at a purchase price of $0.83 for a period of three years from the date of issuance; no fractional shares will be sold.”

Exhibit 23.1
3. Please have counsel revise the legality opinion to opine on the Units and each security component of the Units. Please note that counsel should provide a binding obligation opinion with respect to the legality of the Units. Since the warrants are contractual obligations issued pursuant to agreements, counsel must opine that the warrants, when issued, will be a binding obligation under the law of the jurisdiction governing the warrants. Counsel should provide an opinion with respect to whether the common stock will be, when sold: legally (or validly) issued; fully paid; and non-assessable. Please refer to Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19 available at http://www.sec.gov/interps/legal/cfslb19.htm for further guidance.
Response:
We have revised our legal opinion to opine on the Units and each security component of the Units. As part of the revised legal opinion we have opined that the warrants, if and when paid for in accordance with the terms of the Form S-1, will be valid and binding obligations of the Company, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors in general and the general principles of equity.
In accordance with Rule 461 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company hereby requests the acceleration of the effective date of the Form S-1 so that it be declared effective as of 12:30 p.m., Eastern Time, on Friday, January 11, 2013, or as soon as practicable thereafter.
In connection with this request for the acceleration of the effective date of the Form S-1, the Company acknowledges that:
·
should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;
·
the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and
·
the Company may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

Please tell us whether you made offers and sales using this prospectus during the period in which your audited financial statements were not current. If yes, please provide us with a legal analysis of your compliance with Sections 5 and 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act.
Response:
We have contacted the Company’s transfer agent and have confirmed that none of the selling stockholders named in the Form S-1 have sold any of the shares registered in the Form S-1 during the period of time from April 30, 2012, to the date of the Comment Letter. Additionally, the Company had previously contacted each of the selling stockholders named in the Form S-1 by email and indicated that the Commission was reviewing the Form S-1 and that the selling stockholders:
“are hereby advised that the prospectus part of the PEA [the Form S-1] may not be used by you to effect a sale of any of your shares registered for resale until such time as the PEA is declared effective by the SEC. We will inform you promptly when we receive notification from the SEC that the PEA has been declared effective.”

Dear Ms. Long,
We served as counsel to New Energy Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) in its preparation of its Post-effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “PEA”) and have been instructed by the Company to respond to the comment letter received by Mr. John Conklin, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, dated July 11, 2011.
In response to comment numbered 1, the Company is filing the PEA at the current time to update the Company’s financial information included in the original Registration Statement on Form S-1 the Company filed on October 9, 2009, and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 28, 2010 (the “Registration Statement”).
Additionally, the Company has had written and/or telephonic conversations with:
·
the Selling Stockholders on behalf of whom the PEA was filed and has confirmed that certain of the Selling Stockholders have sold their shares pursuant to exemptions afforded to them under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and that none of the Selling Stockholders have made any offer or sales for the shares registered for resale under the Registration Statement in reliance on the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement;
Sierchio & Company, LLP
·
the Company’s stock transfer agent to confirm that no transactions have been made by the Selling Stockholders for their shares in the Company registered for resale under the Registration Statement, other than those sales made by certain of the Selling Stockholders pursuant to exemptions afforded to them under Rule 144 of the 1933 Act; and
·
the Company has sent a letter to all of the Selling Stockholders informing them that the SEC is currently reviewing the PEA and that they are to refrain from effecting a transaction for their shares registered for resale under the Registration Statement using the prospectus contained therein until the PEA is declared effective.
Should you require any additional information please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Re: New Energy Technologies, Inc.--Response to Letter dated April 9, 2010 Regarding the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009 (File No. 333-127953) filed on December 15, 2009 (the “Form 10-K”).
Dear Sir:
I am authorized by New Energy Technologies, Inc (the “Company”) to submit the following responses on its behalf to your letter of April 9, 2010 (the “April 9th Letter”) setting forth various comments (collectively, the “Staff Comments”) with respect to the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009 (the “Form 10-K”).
We have simultaneously filed an Amended Form 10-K (the “10-K Amendment”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009 and an Amended Form 10-Q (the “10-Q Amendment”) for the quarterly period ended November 30, 2009 addressing the Staff’s Comments as set forth in the April 9th Letter .
1. Reference to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act and the safe harbor provisions of Section 21E and 27A have been removed from both the 10-K Amendment and 10-Q Amendment.
2. We have added the following summary disclosure on page 14 of the 10-K Amendment, which is the same as that included in the Amended Registration Statement.
“Testing of the SolarWindow™ Technology
Researchers at USF set out to determine the performance of the Company’s SolarWindow™ technology, currently under development, against commercially available solar cells when operating under various artificial light conditions. Under all three simulated, artificial
1
lighting conditions in these tests, the Company’s solar module outperformed the three commercially-available solar cells tested.”
We have added the following summary disclosure on page 64 of the 10-K Amendment, which is the same as that included in the Amended Registration Statement.
“The Company does not have a formal written policy for the review and approval of transactions with related parties. However, the Company’s Code of Ethics and Corporate Governance Principles require actual or potential conflict of interest to be reported to the Chairman of the Board. The Company’s employees are expected to disclose personal interests that may conflict with the Company’s and they may not engage in personal activities that conflict with their responsibilities and obligations to the Company. If any actual or potential conflict of interest is reported, the Company’s entire Board of Directors and outside legal counsel annually review all transactions and relationships disclosed and the Board makes a formal determination regarding each director's independence. If the transaction is deemed to present a conflict of interest, the Board of Directors will determine the appropriate action to be taken.”
3. We have included the exhibits required by Item 601 of Regulation S-K in the 10-K Amendment and incorporated such exhibits by reference to the Company’s report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended February 28, 2010 as filed with the Commission on April 16, 2010.

Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended November 30, 2009 Item 4T. Controls and Procedures, page 30 (a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
4. We have included the following disclosures in the 10-Q Amendment as provided in response to prior comments 4 and 5 in the January 28, 2010 SEC letter.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of November 30, 2009 that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information required to be disclosed in the Company’s United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management,
3
including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During the review of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended November 30, 2009, the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm identified an error in the Company’s calculation of the fair value of the Class F Callable Warrants as of November 30, 2009, resulting in a material adjustment to the financial statements that was required to appropriately account for the Company’s warrant liability. The Company measures the fair value of the Class F Callable Warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model. When calculating the volatility of the Company’s common stock, the Company, in error, used the historical stock prices for the wrong company. The difference between the fair value of the Class F Callable Warrants using the correct volatility and the incorrect volatility resulted in a material adjustment. The Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm discovered this error while performing their review procedures of the financial statements for the quarter ended November 30, 2009.
As a result, the Company has concluded that there is a material weakness regarding its internal control over financial reporting. In this regard, the Company has implemented a change in its internal review process in order to enhance its effectiveness and to mitigate any further weaknesses (please refer to (b) below).
(b) Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act), that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. As described in (a) above, subsequent to November 30, 2009, the Company has implemented an additional review process whereby the Chief Financial Officer reviews the Black Scholes models, recalculating the fair value for all equity instruments. The Company believes that this additional level of review will be effective in mitigating any further material weaknesses.
The Company acknowledges that the material weakness existed as of November 30, 2009. However, the Company has completed testing of its remediation efforts and has concluded that as of February 28, 2010, the improvement to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting was effective and that the material weakness discussed above did not exist at the quarterly period ended February 28, 2010.

Re: New Energy Technologies, Inc.--Response to Letter dated March 12, 2010 Regarding the Pre Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-162417) Filed on October 9, 2009 (the “Registration Statement”).
Dear Sir:
I am authorized by New Energy Technologies, Inc (the “Company”) to submit the following responses on its behalf to your letter of March 12, 2010 (the “March 12th Letter”) setting forth various comments (collectively, the “Staff Comments”) with respect to the Registration Statement on Form S-1. The numbered responses are keyed sequentially to the numbered paragraphs in the March 12th Letter.
A Pre-Effective Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No.3”) addressing the Staff’s comments as set forth in the March 12th Letter has been simultaneously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in Amendment No.3. Page references are to Amendment No. 3 as filed.
Comment No. 1 Selling Stockholders, page 64
As requested in comment 4 of our letter dated February 16, 210, please describe the transaction in which Mr. Patel acquired his shares. Please also clearly disclose whether these shares underlie options that have already vested. We note disclosure in footnotes 11, 12 and 13 that clearly states that options for Messrs. Bhogal, Livesey and Sierchio have vested. If the have vested, please explain which of the conditions specified in note (1) to the Summary Compensation Table were met, and when they were met. In this regard, we note disclosure under "Options Vested and Exercised" that as of November 30, 2009, none of the options had vested.
1
The Company has addressed the Staff’s comments as follows:
First, although the reference to the granting of an option to Mr. Patel permitting him to purchase up to 250,000 shares of our common stock was described on pages 57-58 of Amendment No. 3, the Company has expanded the footnote 10 to the “Selling Stockholders” table appearing on page 71 of Amendment No. 3, as follows:
“(10) On December 15, 2009, we granted a stock option to Mr. Meetesh Patel, our President and Chief Executive Officer permitting Mr. Patel to purchase up to 250,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.44 per share, the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The fair market value of our common stock is the closing price of the common stock as quoted on the OTCBB on December 15, 2009 or, if our common stock is not traded on the date of grant, the first day of active trading following the date of grant. The stock option granted to Mr. Patel is fully vested and exercisable upon grant and expires five years from the grant date, on December 15, 2014.”
Secondly, with respect to the shares being registered for resale by Messrs. Bhogal, Livesey and Sierchio, footnotes 11, 12 and 13 have been revised to reflect the basis, dates and the number of shares as to which the respective options granted to these individuals vested.. The footnotes now read as follows:
“(11) This amount does not include 2,800,000 shares owned by 1420527 Alberta Ltd., a private Alberta corporation wholly owned by the Heritage Family Trust dated August 28, 2008, of which Amritpal Kaur Tanda is the trustee, for the benefit of Mehar Singh Bhogal, Mr. Jatinder Bhogal’s son. Mr. Jatinder Bhogal is not a beneficiary or trustee of the aforementioned trust, nor does he otherwise have any voting or disposition authority over the shares owned by 1420527 Alberta Ltd. Accordingly, Mr. Jatinder Bhogal disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares.
On September 9, 2008, we granted a stock option (the “Bhogal September 2008 Option”) to Mr. Bhogal permitting him to purchase, subject to applicable vesting provisions, up to 50,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.85 per share. The Bhogal September 2008 Option vests in five equal annual installments of 10,000 options each, commencing on September 9, 2009, and annually thereafter. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Bhogal September 2008 Option has vested as to 10,000 shares (on September 9, 2009).
In addition on December 15, 2009, we granted Mr. Bhogal an additional option (the “Bhogal December 2009 Option”) permitting him to purchase, subject to applicable vesting provisions, 50,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.44 per share, the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The Bhogal December 2009 Option expires five years from the date of grant, on December 15, 2014 and vests as follows: (a) as to 20,000 shares on December 16, 2009; (b) as to 15,000 shares on December 16, 2010; and (c) as to 15,000 shares on December 16, 2011. As of the date of this Prospectus, the December 2009 Option has vested as to 20,000 shares.
Accordingly, as of the date of this Prospectus, stock options granted to Mr. Bhogal have vested with respect to an aggregate of 30,000 shares, which are included in the registration statement as to which this Prospectus is part.
(12) On March 10, 2008, we granted a stock option (the “Livesey March 2008 Option”) to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Livesey at an exercise price of $1.66 per share. The Livesey March 2008 Option vests in five equal annual installments of 10,000 options each, commencing on March 10, 2009, and annually thereafter. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Livesey March 2008 Option has vested as to 20,000 shares (10,00 on each of March 10,2009 and March 10, 2010).
2
In addition on December 15, 2009, we granted Mr. Livesey an additional option (the “Livesey December 2009 Option”) permitting him to purchase, subject to applicable vesting provisions, 50,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.44 per share, the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The Livesey December 2009 Option expires five years from the date of grant, on December 15, 2014 and vests as follows: (a) as to 20,000 shares on December 16, 2009; (b) as to 15,000 shares on December 16, 2010; and (c) as to 15,000 shares on December 16, 2011. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Livesey December 2009 Option has vested as to 20,000 shares.
Accordingly, as of the date of this Prospectus, stock options granted to Mr. Livesey have vested with respect to an aggregate of 40,000 shares, which are included in the registration statement as to which this Prospectus is part.
(13) We have previously registered (SEC File No. 333- 149665) 50,000 shares of common stock for resale by Mr. Sierchio. These shares consist of 25,000 shares of our common stock purchased by Mr. Sierchio and 25,000 shares issuable upon exercise of an outstanding warrant entitling Mr. Sierchio to purchase up to an aggregate of 25,000 shares of common stock at $1.25 per share. These shares are not part of the shares registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this Prospectus is part.
On September 9, 2008, we granted a stock option (the “Sierchio September 2008 Option”) to Mr. Sierchio permitting him to purchase, subject to applicable vesting provisions, up to 50,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.85 per share. The Sierchio September 2008 Option vests in five equal annual installments of 10,000 options each, commencing on September 9, 2009, and annually thereafter. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Sierchio September 2008 Option has vested as to 10,000 shares (on September 9, 2009).
In addition on December 15, 2009, we granted Mr. Sierchio an additional option (the “Sierchio December 2009 Option”) permitting him to purchase, subject to applicable vesting provisions, 50,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.44 per share, the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The Sierchio December 2009 Option expires five years from the date of grant, on December 15, 2014 and vests as follows: (a) as to 20,000 shares on December 16, 2009; (b) as to 15,000 shares on December 16, 2010; and (c) as to 15,000 shares on December 16, 2011. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Sierchio December 2009 Option has vested as to 20,000 shares.
Accordingly, as of the date of this Prospectus, stock options granted to Mr. Sierchio have vested with respect to an aggregate of 30,000 shares, which are included in the registration statement as to which this Prospectus is part. Mr. Sierchio is a member of Sierchio & Company, LLP, which firm is our legal counsel.”
Thirdly, with respect to the Staff’s reference to the “Options Vested and Exercised” table, for clarity the Company has changed the heading to reflect the fact that the options referred to were options granted in the three months ended November 30, 2009 and the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009. However, please note that the table refers only to options granted to the named executive, Mr. Patel, and not to Messrs. Bhogal, Livesey and Sierchio. Also it should be noted that as of the dates referenced, option granted to Mr. Patel with respect to 2,500,000 shares had not vested. None of the shares related to that option are included in the registration statement. Please refer to page 62 of Amendment No. 3.
For purposes of additional clarity and to avoid any further possible ambiguity the Company has expanded the disclosure on pages 57-58 of Amendment No. 3 (see also pages 66-67) relating to the options granted on December 15, 2009 to each of Messrs. Bhogal, Livesey and Sierchio to read as follows:
“On December 15, 2009, we granted a stock option to each of our three of non-employee directors (Messrs. Bhogal, Livesey and Sierchio) permitting each to purchase, subject to applicable vesting provisions, 50,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.44 per share, the fair market value of our
3
common stock on the date of grant. Each stock option expires five years from the date of grant, on December 15, 2014 and vests as follows: (a) as to 20,000 shares on December 16, 2009; (b) as to 15,000 shares on December 16, 2010; and (c) as to 15,000 shares on December 16, 2011. The stock options are further subject to the terms and conditions of a stock option agreement between each director and us. Under the terms of the stock option agreement, the stock option agreement will terminate and there will be no further vesting of stock options effective as of the date that the director ceases to be one of our directors. Upon termination of such service, the director will have a specified period of time to exercise vested stock options, if any. As of the date of this Prospectus, the stock option granted to Messrs. Bhogal, Livesey and Sierchio in December of 2009 have vested as to an aggregate of 60,000 shares.”
The Company also directs the Staff’s attention to further clarifications contained in the footnotes to table in the “Compensation of Non-Employee Directors appearing on page 57 of Amendment No. 3
The filing has been generally updated and otherwise revised as appropriate.
We hope that you find the foregoing responsive to your comments.

Re: New Energy Technologies, Inc.--Response to Letter dated January 28, 2010
Regarding the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009 (File No. 333-127953) filed on December 15, 2009 (the “Form 10-K”).
Dear Sir:
I am authorized by New Energy Technologies, Inc (the “Company”) to submit the following responses on its behalf to your letter of January 28, 2010 (the “January 28th Letter”) setting forth various comments (collectively, the “Staff Comments”) with respect to the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009 (the “Form 10-K”).
We acknowledge that we need to file an Amended Form 10-K (the “10-K Amendment”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009 addressing the Staff’s Comments as set forth in the January 28th Letter . We intend to file the 10-K Amendment as soon as we receive clearance from the Commission that the responses incorporated into the Amended Registration Statement filed with the Commission on January 28, 2010 are deemed acceptable by the Staff.
Page references are to the Form 10-K as filed with the Commission on December 15, 2009.
1. The Company acknowledges that many of the Staff’s Comments in your letter of November 5, 2009 (the “November 5th Letter”) pertaining to our Registration Statement on Form S-1 also pertain to disclosures that appear in our Form 10-K. The following numbered responses are keyed sequentially to the numbered paragraphs in the November 5th Letter.
1
General
1 – 4. Staff comments are not applicable to the Form 10-K.
5. As suggested by the Staff, we have added under “Item 1. Business-Description of Business” in the Form 10-K disclosures relating to (i) the issuance by our auditors of a “going concern” opinion (ii) our lack of revenues and (iii) our development stage status. Please refer to page 5, first full paragraph.
6 – 7. Staff comments are not applicable to the Form 10-K.
MD&A
8. The Company is currently operational. Since inception the Company has been working to develop energy-related and biotechnologies. With the spin out of its biotechnology subsidiary, MicroChannel Technologies Corporation in 2007, the Company committed itself to the development of energy related technologies: first, with its ongoing development of SolarWindow™ technology, a transparent solar glass window technology capable of generating electricity, and; subsequently, with the addition of its MotionPower™ technology, currently under development, for harnessing the kinetic energy of moving vehicles in order to generate electricity.
As the Company has noted, both of its current technologies are in the early stages of development; it is too early to determine whether the technologies will evolve into commercially viable, marketable products. As the Company’s research and development activities proceed, the Company anticipates that it will be assessing the value of continuing its ongoing efforts with respect to each of its technologies.
As of August 31, 2009 the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $2,736,221. Based upon our current level of operations and expenditures we believe that absent any modification or expansion of our existing activities research, development and testing, the cash on hand should be sufficient to enable us to continue operations at least through August 31, 2010. However, any significant expansion in scope or acceleration in time of our current research and development activities, or commencement of any marketing activities, will require additional funds. Please refer to page 20, seventh paragraph and page 21, first full paragraph.
Description of our Business and Property
9. An expanded discussion of each of the terminated UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement and the Oakland Sponsored Research Agreement has been added to Item 1. Business under the section thereof titled “Description of Business” in the Form 10-K. Please refer to page 10.
10. We have added the following disclosures to the MD&A. Please refer to pages 20-21:
2
“Ultimately, the Company plans to market the MotionPower™ Technology and/or SolarWindow™ Technology products, if any, subject to receiving any requisite regulatory approvals, through co-marketing, co-promotion, licensing and distribution arrangements with third party collaborators. The decision as to which method or methods of commercialization the Company will pursue will depend on various factors including, but not limited to, the Company’s financial resources at the time, manufacturing costs, market acceptance of the product(s), and competing technologies or products at the time.
The Company believes that this approach could provide immediate access to pre-existing distribution channels, therefore potentially increasing market penetration and commercial acceptance of its products and enabling it to avoid expending significant funds for development of a large sales and marketing organization. Currently no such products or arrangements exist, nor can the Company currently project with any degree of accuracy when, if ever, such products or arrangements may exist. If the Company does not ultimately commercialize products derived from the Company’s MotionPower™ Technology and/or SolarWindow™ Technology it will not generate revenues from its operations as currently conducted.
The Company’s success will be dependent upon its ability to develop products that are superior to existing products and products introduced in the future, and which are cost effective. In addition, the Company may be required to continually enhance any products that are developed as well as introduce new products that keep pace with technological change and address the increasingly sophisticated needs of the marketplace. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to keep pace with the technological demands of the marketplace or successfully develop products that will succeed in the marketplace.
The Company cannot currently estimate with any accuracy the amount of either the additional funds or time required to successfully commercialize either technology, because the actual cost and time may vary significantly depending on results of current basic research and development and product testing, cost of acquiring an exclusive license, changes in the focus and direction of the Company’s research and development programs, competitive and technological advances, the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing patent claims, the regulatory approval process, manufacturing, marketing and other costs associated with commercialization of products following receipt of regulatory approvals and other factors.
As of August 31, 2009 the Company had working capital of $2,528,790. Based upon the Company’s current level of operations and expenditures it believes that absent any modification or expansion of its existing activities research, development and testing, the cash on hand should be sufficient to enable the Company to continue operations at least through August 31, 2010. However, any significant expansion in scope or acceleration in time of the Company’s current research and development activities, or commencement of any marketing activities, will require additional funds.”
A summary disclosure of the foregoing has also been included in Item 1. Business. Please refer to pages 8 and 14.
3
Our MotionPower™ Technology and our SolarWindow™ Technology
11. The following disclosure has been included in Item 1. Business under the section thereof titled “Description of Business” in the Form 10-K. Please refer to pages 7 and 14.
“Through KEC, the Company has filed nine patent applications related to its MotionPower™ Technology (collectively, the “MotionPower™ Patents”). The MotionPower™ Patents are directed to devices and methods for capturing energy from moving vehicles. Each of the MotionPower™ Patents applications has been filed in the name of the individual inventors. Each of the inventors has assigned and transferred to KEC, the full and exclusive right to these inventions in the United States of America, its territories, dependencies and possessions and the entire right, title and interest in and to any patents which may be granted therefore in the United
States of America, its territories, dependencies and possessions, and in any and all foreign countries, and to any and all divisions, reissues, continuations, conversions and extensions thereof for the full term or terms for which the same may be granted.”
“The SolarWindow™ Technology is subject to two patent applications filed by USF (the “USF Patent Applications”). The Company also has an active trademark registration in progress, “SolarWindow™” Technology. Currently all of the Company’s patent applications are pending. There is no assurance that such patent applications can or will be successfully prosecuted.”
12. Please refer to paragraph 10 above.
13. Please note that the Company’s technologies are not currently at a level of development where we can accurately determine the industries in which we intend to compete and how the Company intends to distribute any commercial products. However, please refer to the disclosure in paragraph 10 above.
The Company would like to direct the Staff’s attention in general to the “Market Overview of Our MotionPower™ Technology” portion of the section of Item 1. Business under the section thereof titled “Description of Business” in the Form 10-K. Please refer to page 8.
In addition, the Company would like to direct the Staff’s attention in general to the “Market Overview of Our SolarWindow™ Technology” portion of the section of Item 1. Business under the section thereof titled “Description of Business” in the Form 10-K which states in relevant part:
“The Company believes that a significant market opportunity exists for its SolarWindow™ Technology, which enables transparent glass windows to generate electricity by coating their glass surfaces with the world’s smallest known solar cells. Rising energy costs, increasing electricity consumption, and the need for a cleaner alternative to today’s non-renewable energy sources, all contribute to the growing demand for clean, renewable alternative energy sources. …. . The Company believes that the commercial opportunity to install transparent glass windows capable of generating electricity in homes and commercial buildings is significant. There are nearly 5 million commercial buildings in America, according to the
4
Energy Information Administration, and more than 80 million single detached homes.” Please refer to page 12.
14. Please note that pursuant to Rule 24b-2 we submitted a request for confidential treatment of certain portions of the USF Option Agreement which pertains to the ongoing research and development of our SolarWindow™ technology; our request was granted on June 11, 2009. Accordingly, these terms of the USF Sponsored Research Agreement have not been disclosed. Please also refer to paragraphs 9, 10 and 11 above.
15. The Company has provided disclosure to note that it is developing two energy harvesting devices, the MotionPower™-Heavy device for heavy trucks, buses, and long-haul rigs, and the MotionPower™-Auto device for cars and light trucks. Please refer to “How the MotionPower™ Technology Works” on Page 7.
16. The Company has provided disclosure regarding its field testing. Please refer to pages 6 and 7.
“The Company has conducted durability field tests of its MotionPower™-Auto technology for generating electricity from the kinetic energy of moving vehicles. These field tests were conducted at a BurgerKing® franchise drive-thru in Hillside, New Jersey, the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington, DC, and the Holiday Inn Express® in Baltimore, Maryland. These tests were undertaken as part of the Company’s ongoing research and development of its MotionPower™ Technology, and were conducted in order to evaluate the ‘real-world’ functionality of the design, user response, and durability of materials used in the tested prototype. The Company anticipates further field tests as development of its MotionPower™ technology is advanced.”
17. A disclosure describing how the Company’s MotionPower™ technology works is provided in the “How the MotionPower™ Technology Works” portion of Item 1. Business under the section thereof titled “Description of Business” in the Form 10-K. Please refer to page 7.
Also the Company provided disclosure under “Government Regulation of the MotionPower™ Technology” describing the new roadway technologies that are involved with the MotionPower™ Technology products by adding the following disclosure. “The production, marketing, and installation of the Company’s MotionPower™ Technology products, currently under development, may be construed by regulatory agencies as a new technology for roadway implementation, which, accordingly, could be subject to existing safety regulations and may be subject to yet unknown regulations.” Please refer to page 8.
Since our two known competitors are small, privately-held companies, information available regarding their respective technologies is limited. As provided in the “Competition Against the MotionPower™ Technology” portion of Item 1. Business under the section thereof titled “Description of Business” in the Form 10-K, the Company discloses that “These companies’ systems rely on the transfer of vehicle weight to hydraulically pump fluids to electrical generators. The Company believes these methods are substantially different from its
5
MotionPower™ Technology which makes use of otherwise wasted kinetic energy when cars and trucks slow down, and, as such, the Company does not consider either company to pose a direct competitive threat to its MotionPower™ Technology.” Please refer to page 9.
18. Please refer to the “Development of the MotionPower™ Technology” portion of Item 1. Business under the section thereof titled “Description of Business” in the Form 10-K on page 6. When filed, the Company will include in its exhibit table to the 10-K Amendment, all material contracts.
Our Solar Window Technology
19. The redacted version of the USF Sponsored Research Agreement and USF Option Agreement as previously filed will be included as exhibits to the 10-K Amendment.
20. Researchers at USF set out to determine the performance of New Energy’s SolarWindow™ technology, currently under development, against commercially available solar cells when operating under various artificial light conditions. Researchers designed and executed their experiments as follows:
1. Tests of three commercial solar cells (monocrystalline Si, a CIS thin film solar cell, and a flexible amorphous silicon solar cell) were conducted against the Company’s solar array (a 2.2cm2 photovoltaic mini-module with 20 cells in series) under three, simulated indoor artificial light conditions:
a. normal windowless office lighting (~500lux);
b. bright windowless office lighting (500~1000lux); and
c. windowed office lighting (2000~3000lux).
2. Researchers undertook these tests under ambient light, and mimicked the three desired artificial light conditions using a 27W florescent lamp (VisionMax model #15815-0

Re: New Energy Technologies, Inc.--Response to Letter dated February 16, 2010, Regarding the Pre Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-162417) Filed on October 9, 2009 (the “Registration Statement”).
Dear Sir:
I am authorized by New Energy Technologies, Inc (the “Company”) to submit the following responses on its behalf to your letter of February 16, 2010 (the “February 16th Letter”) setting forth various comments (collectively, the “Staff Comments”) with respect to the Registration Statement on Form S-1. The numbered responses are keyed sequentially to the numbered paragraphs in the February16th Letter.
A Pre-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No.2”) addressing the Staff’s comments as set forth in the February 16th Letter has been simultaneously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in Amendment No.2. Page references are to Amendment No. 2 as filed.
Comment No. 1. Please respond to the comments we issued by separate letter dated January 28, 2010 on your Form 10-K prior to requesting acceleration of effectiveness of the registration statement.
Company Response: The Company has filed its response to your separate letter dated January 28, 2010. A copy of its response letter is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
Comment No. 2. We note your response to prior comment 4; however, we believe it is premature to register for resale shares underlying options which may never vest, or which are subject to significant time and/or performance conditions having been met. Based on your disclosure, we believe you are registering 50,000 shares subject to
1
unvested options for resale by Messrs. Bhogal, Livesey and Sierchio. Please remove these shares from the registration statement. We do not object to registering the resale of shares underlying vested options held by any selling shareholder.
Company Response: The Company has reduced the number of shares underlying granted options from 490,000 to 350,000. This represents a reduction of a total of 140,000 shares versus the 150,000 shares noted by the Staff as a result of an additional 10,000 options granted to Mr. Livesey having vested in February of 2010.
Comment No.3. We note your response to prior comment 24. Please tell us supplementally what five shareholders own 59% of your outstanding common stock, as you disclose in the risk factors. Based on the information in the beneficial ownership table, your principal stockholder and management only own 25,489,600 shares, or 43.5% of your outstanding 58,600,600 shares outstanding.
Company Response: In addition to the 25,489,600 shares owned by the Company’s principal stockholder and management, as noted in the Registration Statement, an additional 10,265,000 shares are owned by four unaffiliated stockholders as as set forth below.

Comment No. 4. As requested in prior comment 26, please describe the transaction in which Mr. Patel acquired his shares. Footnote 10 only states that the number of shares attributed to him "includes" options to purchase up to 250,000 shares. Please clarify whether these shares underlie options that have already vested.
Company Response: Footnote 10 has been revised to reflect the fact that all of the shares registered on behalf of Mr. Patel are shares issuable upon vested options.
Comment No. 5. Please file Exhibit 21.1 with your next amendment.
Company Response: Exhibit 21.1 has been filed.

Comment No. 6. Exhibit 5.1 appears to relate to the 10,190,000 shares being registered for resale by the selling shareholders. As such, please revise the first sentence of the opinion to refer to the resale of shares by the selling shareholders, rather than by the company. Please also revise the penultimate paragraph of the opinion to link counsel's opinion to the issuance, delivery and payment for the Option Shares as such terms are described in the registration statement.
Company Response: A revised and update opinion has been filed as Exhibit 5.1 incorporating the noted changes.
Comment No. 7. Exhibit 5.2 appears to relate to the 10 million shares being offered by the company. Please revise the first paragraph of the opinion to refer to the sale, as opposed to the resale of these shares.
Company Response: A revised and update opinion has been filed as Exhibit 5.2 incorporating the noted changes.
As previously noted, the filing has been generally updated and otherwise revised as appropriate.
We hope that you find the foregoing responsive to your comments.

Re: New Energy Technologies, Inc.--Response to Letter dated November 5, 2009
Regarding the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-162417)
Filed on October 9, 2009 (the “Registration Statement”).
Dear Sir:
I am authorized by New Energy Technologies, Inc (the “Company”) to submit the following responses on its behalf to your letter of November 5, 2009 (the “November 5th Letter”) setting forth various comments (collectively, the “Staff Comments”) with respect to the Registration Statement on Form S-1. The numbered responses are keyed sequentially to the numbered paragraphs in the November 5th Letter.
A Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No.1”) addressing the Staff’s comments as set forth in the November 5th Letter has been simultaneously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in Amendment No.1. Page references are to Amendment No. 1 as filed.
General
1. The Company acknowledges the updating requirements of Rule 8-08 of Regulation S-X; and, in connection therewith has included audited financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2009 and the three months ended November 30, 2009 in Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement and updated the entire filing, including but not limited to the inclusion of updated updated disclosures, as appropriate, throughout the registration statement as noted.
2. The Company acknowledges that you may have additional comments with respect to the Company’s responses to the November 5th Letter.
Facing Page
1
3. The Facing Page has been revised to indicate that the approximate date of commencement of the proposed sale of the securities to the public will occur “As soon as practicable after this registration statement becomes effective.” Please refer to the Facing Page.
Calculation of Registration Fee
4. The number of shares underlying options being registered has been reduced to 490,000 and are comprised of the following:
One hundred forty thousand (240,000) of these shares underlie the Options granted to non employee directors but which have not vested as of the date hereof, represent only those shares underlying options that have vested and that will in fact vest simply with the passage of time during the period (the “Effectiveness Period”) that the Company has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement of which this Prospectus is part, continuously effective under the Securities Act. This period is the lesser of two years or until all of the securities covered by such registration statement have been sold, or may be sold without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 or any successor rule.
An additional 250,000 shares granted to Meetesh Patel on December 15, 2009 all of which have vested; please refer to the Cover Page of the Prospectus and page 70.
5. As suggested by the Staff, we have added under the caption “About Us and Our Business” disclosures relating to (i) the issuance by our auditors of a “going concern” opinion (ii) our lack of revenues and (iii) our development stage status. Please refer to page 3.
Risk Factors
6. We have added a risk factor discussing the fact that Selling Stockholders may compete with the Company for buyers of the Company’s common stock, making it potentially more difficult for the Company to raise money and also noting that the proposed sale by the Company of a large number of shares may adversely affect the price at which the Selling Stockholders may be able to sell their stock. Please refer to page 7.
7. The referenced financial information has been replaced. Please refer to page 6.
With respect to the Staff’s suggestion that a separate risk factor be added regarding the risks associated with the additional funds we will require or the time required to successfully commercialize the Company’s technology we have added a new risk factor titled “Even if financing were available to us, because we cannot currently estimate the amount of funds or time required to commercialize our technologies we may secure less funding than will actually be required for us to effectuate our business plan.” Please refer to page 7.
We also direct your attention to the risk factor titled “We may require additional financing to expand, accelerate or sustain our current level of operations beyond August 31, 2010” on page8 which states:
“Our cash requirements may vary materially from those now planned. We cannot currently estimate with any accuracy the amount of additional capital we may require because the amount needed may vary significantly depending on results of current basic research and development and product testing, cost of acquiring an exclusive (versus non-exclusive) license of the technologies, changes in the focus and direction of our research and development programs, competitive and technological advances,
2
the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing patent claims, the regulatory approval process, if any, that must be addressed, manufacturing, marketing and, finally, other costs associated with commercialization of products following receipt of regulatory approvals and other factors.
If adequate funds are not available or prohibitively expensive when required, the consequences would be a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects. We may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or terminate one or more or all of our research programs; to obtain funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to SolarWindow™ Technology, or other technologies or products based upon such technologies that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves; or to license the rights to such technologies or products on terms that are less favorable to us than might otherwise be available. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or debt securities, further dilution to stockholders may result and new investors could have rights superior to existing stockholders.”
The Company is of the view that the above referenced risk factors address the Staff’s comments in paragraph 7 of the November 5th Letter.
MD&A
8. The Company is currently operational. Since inception the Company has been working to develop energy-related and biotechnologies. With the spin out of its biotechnology subsidiary, MicroChannel Technologies Corporation in 2007, the Company committed itself to the development of energy related technologies: first, with its ongoing development of SolarWindow™, a transparent solar glass window technology capable of generating electricity, and; subsequently, with the addition of its MotionPower™ technology, currently under development, for harnessing the kinetic energy of moving vehicles in order to generate electricity.
As the Company has noted, both of its current technologies are in the early stages of development; it is too early to determine whether the technologies will evolve into commercially viable, marketable products. As the Company’s research and development activities proceed, the Company anticipates that it will be assessing the value of continuing its ongoing efforts with respect to each of its technologies.
As at November 30, 2009 the Company had cash and cash equivalents balance of $2,060,348; based upon our current level of operations and expenditures we believe that absent any modification or expansion of our existing activities research, development and testing, the cash on hand should be sufficient to enable us to continue operations at least through August 31, 2010. However, any significant expansion in scope or acceleration in time of our current research and development activities, or commencement of any marketing activities, will require additional funds. Please refer to page 23.
Description of our Business and Property
9. An expanded discussion of the terminated UIUC Sponsored Research Agreement and the Oakland Sponsored Research Agreement has been added to the section of the Prospectus titled “Description of our Business and Property:” Please refer to page 45-46.
10. We have added the following disclosures to the MD&A (Please refer to pages 23):
3
“Ultimately, we plan to market MotionPower™ Technology and/or SolarWindow™ Technology products, if any, subject to receiving any requisite regulatory approvals, through co-marketing, co-promotion, licensing and distribution arrangements with third party collaborators. The decision as to which method or methods of commercialization we will pursue will depend on various factors including, but not limited to, our financial resources at the time, manufacturing costs, market acceptance of the product(s), and competing technologies or products at the time.
We believe that this approach could provide immediate access to pre-existing distribution channels, therefore potentially increasing market penetration and commercial acceptance of our products and enabling us to avoid expending significant funds for development of a large sales and marketing organization. Currently no such products or arrangements exist, nor can we currently project with any degree of accuracy when, if ever, such products or arrangements may exist. Please refer to “RISK FACTORS.” If we do not ultimately commercialize products derived from our MotionPower™ Technology and/or SolarWindow™ Technology we will not generate revenues from our operations as currently conducted.
Our success will be dependent upon our ability to develop products that are superior to existing products and products introduced in the future, and which are cost effective. In addition, we may be required to continually enhance any products that are developed as well as introduce new products that keep pace with technological change and address the increasingly sophisticated needs of the marketplace. There can be no assurance that we will be able to keep pace with the technological demands of the marketplace or successfully develop products that will succeed in the marketplace.
We cannot currently estimate with any accuracy the amount of either the additional funds or time required to successfully commercialize either technology, because the actual cost and time may vary significantly depending on results of current basic research and development and product testing, cost of acquiring an exclusive license, changes in the focus and direction of our research and development programs, competitive and technological advances, the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing patent claims, the regulatory approval process, manufacturing, marketing and other costs associated with commercialization of products following receipt of regulatory approvals and other factors.
As of November 30, 2009 the Company had working capital of $1,818,126. Based upon our current level of operations and expenditures we believe that absent any modification or expansion of our existing activities research, development and testing, the cash on hand should be sufficient to enable us to continue operations at least through November 30, 2010. However, any significant expansion in scope or acceleration in time of our current research and development activities, or commencement of any marketing activities, will require additional funds.
A summary disclosure of the foregoing has also been included in the section of the Registration Statement titled “Description of our Business and Property.” Please refer to pages 44 and 50.
11. The following disclosure has been added the section of the Registration Statement titled “Description of our Business and Property.” Please refer to pages 41-42,
“Through KEC, we have filed nine (9) Provisional Utility Patent Applications in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office related to its MotionPower™ technology. These confidential applications are directed to devices and methods for capturing energy from moving vehicles.
Each of these applications has been filed in the name of the individual inventors. Each of the inventors has assigned and transferred to KEC, the full and exclusive right to these inventions in the United States of America, its territories, dependencies and possessions and the entire right, title and
4
interest in and to any and all Letters Patent(s) which may be granted therefore in the United States of America, its territories, dependencies and possessions, and in any and all foreign countries, and to any and all divisions, reissues, continuations, conversions and extensions thereof for the full term or terms for which the same may be granted.”
An expanded disclosure has been added the section of the Registration Statement titled “Description of our Business and Property.” Please refer to page 43.
12. Please refer to paragraph 10 above.
13. Please note that the Company’s technologies are not currently at a level of development where we can accurately determine the industries in which we intend to compete and how the Company intends to distribute any commercial products. However, please refer to the added disclosure in paragraph 10 above.
The Company would like to direct the Staff’s attention in general to the revised Market Overview of Our MotionPower™ Technology portion of the section of the Registration Statement titled “Description of our Business and Property.” Please refer to page 49.
In addition, the Company would like to direct the Staff’s attention in general to the “Market Overview of Our SolarWindow™ Technology” portion of the section of the Registration Statement titled “Description of our Business and Property” which states in relevant part:
“We believe that a significant market opportunity exists for our SolarWindow™ Technology, which enables transparent glass windows to generate electricity by coating their glass surfaces with the world’s smallest known solar cells. Rising energy costs, increasing electricity consumption, and the need for a cleaner alternative to today’s non-renewable energy sources, all contribute to the growing demand for clean, renewable alternative energy sources…. .We believe that the commercial opportunity to install transparent glass windows capable of generating electricity in homes and commercial buildings is significant.” Please refer to pages 49-50.
14. Please note that pursuant to Rule 24b-2 we submitted a request for confidential treatment of certain portions of the USF Option Agreement which pertains to the ongoing research and development of our SolarWindow™ technology; our request was granted on June 11, 2009. Accordingly, these terms of the USF Sponsored Research Agreement have not been disclosed. Please also refer to paragraphs 9, 10 and 11 above.
5
15. The Company has expanded its disclosure to note that it is developing two energy harvesting devices, the MotionPower™-Heavy device for heavy trucks, buses, and long-haul rigs, and the MotionPower™-Auto device for cars and light trucks. Please refer to “How our Technology Works” on Page 42.
16. The Company has expanded the disclosure regarding its field testing. Please refer to

Re: Octillion Corp.
Pre-effective Amendment 3 to Registration Statement on Form
SB-2
Filed December 16, 2005
File No. 333-127953
Dear Ms. DuMoulin:
We reviewed the filing and have the accounting comments
below.
Experts, page 52
1. Identify Clancy and Co., P.L.L.C. and Berenfeld, Spritzer,
Shechter and Sheer as experts in auditing and accounting in your
next
amendment. It is unclear why the disclosure was removed in pre-
effective amendment 2. We note that the change was not identified
in
the redline version of the amendment that you filed on the EDGAR
system. When you file a redline version of the document on the
EDGAR
system, ensure that it is complete for changes made from the prior
amendment.
Exhibit 23.2
2. The consent references pre-effective amendment 1 rather than
pre-
effective amendment 2. Obtain and include in your next amendment
an
updated consent from your auditors that refers to the most current
amendment.
Exhibit 23.4
3. The consent references the use of reports dated November 20,
1998,
November 1, 2000, and October 16, 2001. While your registration
statement does include the report dated October 16, 2001, it does
not
include reports dated November 20, 1998 and November 1, 2000.
Obtain
and include in your next amendment a revised consent that does not
include references to reports not included in your registration
statement.
Closing
File an amendment to the SB-2 in response to the comments.
To
expedite our review, Octillion may wish to provide us three marked
courtesy copies of the amendment. Include with the filing any
supplemental information requested and a cover letter tagged as
correspondence that keys the responses to the comments. If
Octillion
thinks that compliance with any of the comments is inappropriate,
provide the basis in the letter. We may have additional comments
after review of the amendment, the responses to the comments, and
any
supplemental information.
We urge all persons responsible for the accuracy and adequacy
of
the disclosure in the registration statement reviewed by us to
ensure
that they have provided all information investors require for an
informed decision. Since Octillion and its management are in
possession of all facts relating to the disclosure in the
registration statement, they are responsible for the adequacy and
accuracy of the disclosures that they have made.
If Octillion requests acceleration of the registration
statement`s effectiveness, Octillion should furnish a letter at
the
time of the request, acknowledging that:
* Should the Commission or the staff acting by delegated authority
declare the registration statement effective, it does not
foreclose
the Commission from taking any action on the filing.
* The action of the Commission or the staff acting by delegated
authority in declaring the registration statement effective does
not
relieve Octillion from its full responsibility for the adequacy
and
accuracy of the disclosure in the registration statement.
* Octillion may not assert our comments and the declaration of the
registration statement`s effectiveness as a defense in any
proceedings initiated by the Commission or any person under the
United States` federal securities laws.
The Commission`s Division of Enforcement has access to all
information that Octillion provides us in our review of the
registration statement or in response to our comments on the
registration statement.
We will consider a written request for acceleration of the
registration statement`s effectiveness under Rule 461 of
Regulation C
under the Securities Act as confirmation that those requesting
acceleration are aware of their responsibilities under the
Securities
Act and the Exchange Act as they relate to the proposed public
offering of the securities specified in the registration
statement.
We will act on the request and by delegated authority grant
acceleration of the registration statement`s effectiveness.
You may direct questions on accounting comments to Meagan L.
Caldwell, Staff Accountant, at (202) 551-3754 or Scott Watkinson,
Senior Staff Accountant, at (202) 551-3741. You may direct
questions
on other disclosure issues to Edward M. Kelly, Senior Counsel, at

The loan from Mr. Rayat is due April 27, 2006, and bears interest at the rate of 8.75% per annum.” Management 3. The requested clarification was added to the disclosure appearing on page 39, by revising the last sentence of Ms. DuMoulin’s biographical information to read as follows: “Ms. DuMoulin has served as a Director of the Company since February 17, 2003 through January 2005, while serving as an officer, director and employee of other companies. Since January of 2005 Ms. DuMoulin has devoted her full time and efforts on our behalf.” Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 4.

Please refer to Page F-4. Notes 5. Related Party Transactions 6. The referenced language has been relocated to the section titled “Our Business.” Please refer to page(s) 24 and 25. Risk Factors 6. The Statement of Cash Flows has been revised in accordance with the December 5th Letter. Please refer to page F-9 7. The following has been add to footnote 5 of the financial statements appearing on page F-14: “As of August 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, there were 13,333,200 shares held by two directors and a major shareholder of the Company that are considered “restricted shares” as that term is defined in Rule 144 as promulgated under the Securities Act. Restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rules 144, 144(k) or 701 promulgated under the Securities Act.” Exhibit 99 8. For clarification the reference to “Exhibit A” in the subscription agreement and in the section entitled “Method of Subscribing” has been changed to Annex A; each reference to Annex A is to the Form 45-106F4 as attached to Subscription Agreement. The Company has decided not to limit sales of units in British Columbia to accredited investors; this necessitated the noted revisions. Form 45-106F4 is the form that an investor is required to sign and deliver if the issuer of the securities is relying, as is the Company, on the exemption from the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act (British Columbia) afforded by Section 2.9 [Offering Memorandum] of National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus and Registration Exemptions. Form 45-106F4 (along with National Instrument 45-106) is available for viewing and downloading on the British Columbia Securities Commission website at: www.bcsc.bc.ca.

Pre-effective Amendments 1 and 2 to Registration Statement on
Form SB-2
Filed November 22 and 28, 2005
File No. 333-127953
Dear Ms. DuMoulin:
We reviewed the filings and have the comments below. Unless
indicated otherwise, page references below are to pre-effective
amendment 2.
Risk Factors, page 6
1. Refer to prior comment 4. Revise also the first sentence of
the
twenty-second risk factor on page 16 to clarify that this is a
best
efforts offering with a minimum requirement to sell 500,000 units.
Use of Proceeds, page 22
2. Disclose the identity of the affiliated shareholder whom you
will
repay with proceeds of the offering, the total amount of the loan,
the maturity of the loan, and the interest rate. See instruction
1
to Item 504 of Regulation S-B.
Management, page 38
3. Refer to prior comment 15. Confirm that Ms. Terri DuMoulin has
held also the positions of president, chief executive officer, and
chief financial officer since February 17, 2003 while employed
elsewhere. We note the disclosure that Ms. DuMoulin served as
president of Edeal.net, Inc. from December 2000 to January 2005.
Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, page
F-2
4. We have reviewed your response to prior comment 32. The
auditors`
report obtained from Ernst & Young LLP states that the financial
statements for the cumulative period from inception (May 5, 1998)
to
August 31, 2002 were audited by other auditors whose report dated
December 18, 2003 expressed an unqualified opinion on those
statements. It also states that its opinion on the statements of
stockholders` deficiency, operations, and cash flows as it relates
to
these periods are based on the report of the other auditors.
However, the opinion included in the auditors` report from Clancy
and
Co., P.L.L.C. dated December 18, 2003 for those financial
statements
appears to cover only the fiscal year ended August 31, 2002.
Also,
it appears that the auditors` report obtained from Berenfeld,
Spritzer, Shechter & Sheer covers the fiscal year ended August 31,
2001 and the period May 5, 1998 (inception) to August 31, 2001.
If
Ernst & Young LLP relied on both of these auditors` reports,
obtain
from Ernst & Young LLP and include in your amended filing a
revised
audit report that references both audit reports. Conversely, if
Ernst & Young LLP did not rely on each of the audit reports
mentioned
above, obtain from Ernst & Young LLP and include in your amended
filing a revised audit report that includes only those periods for
which Ernst & Young LLP expresses an opinion.
Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, page
F-4
5. The auditors` report obtained from Berenfeld, Spritzer,
Shechter &
Sheer and included in your filing does not include the city and
state
of your auditor. Obtain and include in your amended filing a
revised
audit report that includes this information.
Note 5. Related Party Transactions, page F-14
6. We reviewed your response to prior comment 17. Your revised
disclosure states that on December 13, 2004 you borrowed $5,000
from
Ms. Terri DuMoulin that was repaid in full on May 24, 2005.
However,
it does not appear that you have revised your statements of cash
flows to reflect these transactions. Please revise.
7. We reviewed your response to prior comment 34. Revise the
notes
to your financial statements to disclose the number of shares
subject
to restriction as of each balance sheet date and to describe the
nature of the restrictions.
Exhibit 99
8. We note that annex A is substantially revised. Confirm that
annex
A and exhibit A referenced in section 3 of exhibit 99 are the same
document. Confirm also that annex A`s subcaption "Form 45-106F4"
is
a form approved and required by the province of British Columbia,
Canada to sell the securities being registered to a resident of
that
province.
Closing
File an amendment to the SB-2 in response to the comments.
To
expedite our review, Octillion Harbors may wish to provide us
three
marked courtesy copies of the amendment. Include with the filing
any
supplemental information requested and a cover letter tagged as
correspondence that keys the responses to the comments. If
Octillion
thinks that compliance with any of the comments is inappropriate,
provide the basis in the letter. We may have additional comments
after review of the amendment, the responses to the comments, and
any
supplemental information.
We urge all persons responsible for the accuracy and adequacy
of
the disclosure in the registration statement reviewed by us to
ensure
that they have provided all information investors require for an
informed decision. Since Octillion and its management are in
possession of all facts relating to the disclosure in the
registration statement, they are responsible for the adequacy and
accuracy of the disclosures that they have made.
If Octillion requests acceleration of the registration
statement`s effectiveness, Octillion should furnish a letter at
the
time of the request, acknowledging that:
* Should the Commission or the staff acting by delegated authority
declare the registration statement effective, it does not
foreclose
the Commission from taking any action on the filing.
* The action of the Commission or the staff acting by delegated
authority in declaring the registration statement effective does
not
relieve Octillion from its full responsibility for the adequacy
and
accuracy of the disclosure in the registration statement.
* Octillion may not assert our comments and the declaration of the
registration statement`s effectiveness as a defense in any
proceedings initiated by the Commission or any person under the
United States` federal securities laws.
The Commission`s Division of Enforcement has access to all
information that Octillion provides us in our review of the
registration statement or in response to our comments on the
registration statement.
We will consider a written request for acceleration of the
registration statement`s effectiveness under Rule 461 of
Regulation C
under the Securities Act as confirmation that those requesting
acceleration are aware of their responsibilities under the
Securities
Act and the Exchange Act as they relate to the proposed public
offering of the securities specified in the registration
statement.
We will act on the request and by delegated authority grant
acceleration of the registration statement`s effectiveness.

Statement of Stockholders’ Deficiency 33. There are no interim financials included at this time. Please refer to the audited financial statements for the period ended August 31, 2005 and 2004. Notes to Financial Statements 34. This item is not included in the Notes since it occurred during a period not covered by the financial statements. However, an appropriate disclosure is included in the body of the registration statement II-3. Note 2(c). Foreign Currency Transactions 35. The statements of operations have been amended to show the foreign exchange gain (loss) involved for different periods according to paragraph 30 of SFAS52. There is no amendment required for the statements of cash flows to follow the requirements of paragraph 25 of SFAS95 as both the functional currency and base currency of the Company are in U.S. dollars even though the office of the Company is stated outside the United States. Please refer to the audited financial statements for the period ended August 31, 2005 and 2004. Note 4(b). Related Party Transactions. 36. The required disclosure has been made. The notes to the financial statements have been amended accordingly. See note 5 of the notes to the financial statements for details. Please refer to the audited financial statements for the period ended August 31, 2005 and 2004. See Note 5 thereto. Note 8(d). Subsequent Events. 37. The Company will use the relative fair value method to allocate the proceeds from this offering to the common stock and the attached warrants. Please refer to the audited financial statements for the period ended August 31, 2005 and 2004. Also please note, that the Company’s common stock is thnly traded. Since August 12, 2005 (the original filling date) through November 21, 2005 only 72,500 shares have traded (an average of approximately 1,036 shares per trading day) at prices ranging from $050 to $1.47 per share. Because of the limited trading market for the Company’s common stock on the “pink sheets” the Company does not necessarily view the “market price” as a true reflection of the Company’s common stock, or that any shares constituting a part of the units can be sold or resold at such “market price.” Accordingly, the Company has taken into account other factors in pricing the units and has included a new section entitled, “Distribution of Offering Price” in the filing to more fully disclose the basis upon which the offering price was determined. 38. Please refer to the audited financial statements for the period ended August 31, 2005 and 2004. Exhibits 39. The Company will file its exhibits using appropriate exhibit tags in Edgar and ensure that the exhibit index identifies all exhibits. Exhibit 10.1 40. Please note that Section 9.0 reads as follows: “Material Transfer. Should tangible proprietary materials (e.g. biological materials, seeds, software, prototypes) be transferred between the Parties during the term of this Agreement, a copy of the fully executed material transfer agreement shall be attached as Appendix C.” As of this date, no such transfers have been made, hence there is no Appendix C. Signatures 41. The appropriate disclosures regarding the offices and positions of the signatories have been added. Please refer to page(s) II-5. We hope that you find the foregoing responsive to the Staff’s comments. The Company appreciates your prompt attention to this filing. Very truly yours, Joseph Sierchio cc. Octillion Corp.

<DOCUMENT> <TYPE>LETTER <SEQUENCE>1 <FILENAME>filename1.txt <TEXT> September 21, 2005 By facsimile to (212) 246-2225 and U.S. Mail Ms. Terri DuMoulin President Octillion Corp. 1628 West 1st Street, Suite 123 Vancouver, British Columbia, V6J 1G1, Canada Re: Octillion Corp. Registration Statement on Form SB-2 Filed August 30, 2005 File No. 333-127953 Dear Ms. DuMoulin: We reviewed the filing and have the comments below. Where indicated, we think that you should revise the document in response to the comments. If you disagree, we will consider your explanation why a comment is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. Be as detailed as necessary in your explanation. To understand better your disclosure, we may ask you in some comments to provide us supplemental information. We may raise additional comments after reviewing this information. Our review`s purpose is to assist you in your compliance with applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your document. We look forward to working with you to achieve these objectives. We welcome any questions that you may have about comments or any other aspect of our review. You may call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter. General 1. Include in the next pre-effective amendment to the registration statement updated financial statements and other financial disclosures as necessary to comply with Item 310(g) of Regulation S- B. 2. Since there is no established market for the securities being registered, provide the disclosure of the factors considered in determining the offering price of $0.50 per unit as required by Item 505 of Regulation S-B. We note the disclosure in the twenty-third risk factor that the offering price of $0.50 per unit represents the last sale price of Octillion`s common stock before the registration statement`s filing. 3. We note the disclosure that funds obtained from the offering will be held in a separate account under Octillion`s control and that the account is not an escrow, trust, or similar account. Confirm that an escrow, trust, or similar account until the minimum offering is sold is not required under applicable state law. Provide appropriate risk factor disclosure that you will not use an escrow account. Prospectus` Outside Front Cover Page 4. Remove references to an "all of none" offering throughout the prospectus since you will continue the offering even if you do not sell all one million units that you are offering. Similarly, the disclosure that the offering will be on an "all or none" basis for the first 500,000 units and a "best efforts" basis for the remaining units is confusing. Revise to clarify that this is a best efforts offering with a minimum requirement to sell 500,000 units and a maximum of one million units. Table of Contents, page 2 5. Move the paragraph immediately before the table of contents and the two paragraphs immediately after the table of contents so that they follow the summary and risk factors sections. See Items 502 and 503(c)(2) of Regulation S-B. Risk Factors, page 6 6. This section`s first paragraph includes the statement that "however, they are not the only risks we face." Since Octillion must disclose all risks that it believes are material, delete this statement. 7. Include in each risk factor`s discussion information necessary to assess the risk, including its magnitude. For example: * The third risk factor states that Octillion will require substantial funds besides this offering`s net proceeds to conduct additional basic research and development activities, preclinical studies, clinical trials, and other activities relating to the ISURF nerve regeneration technology`s successful commercialization. Quantify the known or estimated "substantial funds" that Octillion will require. Alternatively, if Octillion is unable to quantify the known or estimated substantial funds that it will require, so indicate and explain briefly why. We note the disclosure under "Use of Proceeds." * The fifth risk factor states that Octillion anticipates that it will remain engaged in research and development for a considerable period of time. Quantify the known or estimated "considerable period of time" that Octillion anticipates that it will remain engaged in research and development. * The twenty-seventh risk factor states that the market price of Octillion`s common stock has been and is expected to continue to be highly volatile. State the high and low market prices of Octillion`s common stock during the most recent 52 week period. 8. Avoid generic conclusions in the risk factors` captions or headings and discussions that Octillion`s results of operations, business, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected or harmed. For example, refer to the third, fourth, ninth, eleventh, thirteenth, fourteenth, eighteenth, and thirtieth risk factors. Rather, explain specifically what the risk`s consequences or effects are for Octillion and its stockholders. 9. Some risk factors include language like "There can be no assurance," "There is no assurance," "we cannot assure," and "we cannot guarantee." For example, refer to the fourth, fifth, sixth, eighth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, sixteenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, twenty-second, and thirty-first risk factors. Since the risk is the situation described and not Octillion`s inability to assure or guarantee, revise. 10. Generally, each risk factor should discuss a single risk. For example, refer to the thirty-first risk factor, and revise to separate into two distinctly captioned risk factors. 11. Disclosure in note 2(c) to the financial statements states that Octillion is located and operates outside of the United States. Address in a discrete risk factor the consequences or effects of Octillion`s location and operation outside of the United States for investors. Our Business, page 24 12. Explain the meaning of any abbreviation or acronym when introduced in the prospectus. For example, refer to "ERG" on page 27. Market Overview, page 28 13. Amend the language in this section`s first paragraph`s last sentence to remove the implication that you are disclaiming responsibility for information that you have chosen to include in the prospectus. Competition, page 34 14. Amend the language in this subsection`s first paragraph`s last sentence to remove the implication that you are disclaiming responsibility for information that you have chosen to include in the prospectus. Management, page 38 15. Disclosure on page 25 that Mr. Harmel Rayat resigned from the board of directors and as chief executive officer in February 2003 and that Ms. Terri DuMoulin succeeded to Mr. Rayat`s positions appears inconsistent with disclosure in this section`s table and Ms. DuMoulin`s biographical paragraph that Ms. DuMoulin has held the positions of director, president, and chief executive officer since December 20, 2002. Please revise or advise. 16. Disclosure in this section`s table indicates that Mr. Tareq Ghazaleh has held his positions as director, secretary, and treasurer since April 22, 2002. Disclosure in Mr. Ghazaleh`s biographical paragraph indicates that he was employed from August 1999 through October 2003 with The Hynes Group and from October 2003 through August 2005 with Bakers Delight Holdings International and Canadian Business. Confirm that Mr. Ghazaleh has held his positions as Octillion`s secretary and treasurer since April 22, 2002 while employed elsewhere. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, page 42 17. It is unclear how the note payable to Ms. Terri DuMoulin has been reflected on the statements of cash flows or as a supplemental non- cash disclosure for the nine months ended May 31, 2005. Please advise or revise. Description of Securities, page 43 18. Remove from this section`s first paragraph the statement that the description of Octillion`s securities is "qualified in its entirety" by information outside the prospectus. This section should include all of the information required by Item 202 of Regulation S-B. Plan of Distribution, page 47 19. Amend this section`s first sentence to make clear that Octillion is offering units and not subscription rights. 20. Disclose that the persons offering the securities on Octillion`s behalf may be deemed to be underwriters of the offering within the meaning of that term as defined in section 2(11) of the Securities Act. 21. We note the disclosure that Octillion has retained no broker for the sale of units being offered and that Octillion will file an amendment to the registration statement if Octillion does retain a broker. Describe briefly in the prospectus the circumstances under which Octillion would retain a broker to sell units in the offering. 22. Disclose more detail about the manner in which the securities will be offered. For instance, will the responsible individuals solicit investors through direct mailings or personal contact? 23. Tell us whether Octillion intends to advertise the offering. Provide us copies of any materials that Octillion intends to use. 24. Disclose whether you will register as broker dealer or issuer dealer under the state law of all states where you are offering the units and such registration is required. 25. Clarify in this section that investors will not be allowed to withdraw their investments if you successfully sell the minimum amount but have not yet terminated the offering. 26. Tell us whether Octillion has any arrangements with any third party to host or access the preliminary prospectus on the Internet. If so, identify the party and the website, describe the material terms of the agreement, and provide us a copy of any written agreement. Also provide us copies of all information concerning the issuer or prospectus that has appeared on the third party`s website. If Octillion enters subsequently into such an arrangement, supplement promptly the response. 27. Discuss whether Ms. Terri DuMoulin, Messrs. Kesar S. Dhaliwal and Harmel S. Rayat, or any other affiliate of Octillion may purchase units in this offering to meet the required minimum of 500,000 units. If so, disclose the number of units that may be purchased. If the number of units that may be purchased is material, include risk factor disclosure to that effect. Further, the prospectus should indicate that any such person is purchasing the units for investment and not resale. 28. State clearly in the prospectus that changes in the offering`s material terms after the registration statement`s effectiveness will terminate the original offer and that investors would then be entitled to a refund. Examples of material changes include: * Extension of the offering period. * Change in the offering price. * Change in the application of proceeds. 29. We note the disclosure that Octillion will return promptly funds received by Octillion if the minimum offering is not sold within the specified period of time as required by Rule 10b-9 under the Exchange Act. We have taken the position that "promptly" means the next business day or as soon as possible after the offering`s termination. Revise to disclose this requirement. Additional Information, page 50 30. Since Octillion will not become a reporting company until the registration statement is declared effective, revise this section`s first sentence to reflect that fact. 31. Delete the language that statements contained in the prospectus on the contents of any contract or other document filed as an exhibit "are not necessarily complete" and the language that such a statement is "qualified in all respects." Rule 411(a) of Regulation C under the Securities Act allows qualification of information inside the prospectus by reference to information outside the prospectus only to the extent that the form explicitly permits it or where the form requires a summary of the document. If Octillion retains the language that statements on the contents of any contract or other document "are not necessarily complete," disclose that all material provisions of those contracts and other documents are discussed in the prospectus. Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, page F- 10 32. Amend your filing to include the auditors` report and consent related to the audit of the period from inception to August 31, 2002 as required by Rule 2-05 of Regulation S-X. See note 2 to Item 310 of Regulation S-B. Statement of Stockholders` Deficiency, page F-13 33. It is unclear why you have presented a February 29, 2004 subtotal in your statement of stockholders` deficiency. Please revise or advise. Notes to Financial Statements, page F-16 34. You disclose on page 42 that you issued restricted common shares to Mr. Kesar S. Dhaliwal. Expand your disclosure to discuss the nature and terms of the restricted common shares. Include in your disclosure the number of shares that are restricted as of the balance sheet date and as of the date of the filing of this registration statement. Note 2(c). Foreign Currency Transactions, page F-16 35. Revise your disclosure to include the amount of transaction gain or loss that was included in determining net income for the years ended August 31, 2004 and 2003 and for the cumulative from inception (May 5, 1998) to August 31, 2004. Also ensure that your treatment for the effect of exchange rate changes on cash balances held in foreign currencies is shown as a separate part of the reconciliation. See paragraph 30 of SFAS 52 and paragraph 25 of SFAS 95. Note 4(b). Related Party Transactions, page F-19 36. If true, revise the notes to your financial statements to disclose that your officers and directors provide their services for no compensation and the periods during which their services were uncompensated. Note 8(d). Subsequent Events, page F-20 37. You disclose on page 16 that $0.50 per unit represents the last sale price of your common stock before the registration statement`s filing. Expand your disclosure to discuss how you intend to value the attached warrants. Also tell us what consideration you gave to the recent increase in your stock price and the effect that this will have on your unit price and the allocation of the amounts received for the units between your common stock and your warrants. 38. You disclose that you plan to offer up to a total of 1,000,000 units at $0.50 in July 2005. Update this disclosure. Exhibits 39. It appears that you have attached the exhibits to the Form SB- 2 and that you did not file separately the exhibits on the EDGAR system. File the exhibits with the appropriate EDGAR tags with the next pre-effective amendment to the registration statement. Exhibit 10.1 40. Absent an order granting confidential treatment, Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-B requires the filing of material contracts, including attachments, in their entirety. Attachments include, for example, annexes, appendices, exhibits, and schedules. Since Octillion did not file the appendix referenced in section 9.0 of appendix C, please revise or advise. Signatures, page II-5 41. Octillion`s principal financial officer and controller and principal accounting officer also must sign the registration statement. Further, any person who occupies more than one of the specified positions, for example, principal financial officer and controller or principal accounting officer, must specify each capacity in which he signs the registration statement. See instructions 1 and 2 for signatures on Form SB-2, and revise. Closing File an amendment to the SB-2 in response to the comments. To expedite our review, Octillion Harbors may wish to provide us three marked courtesy copies of the amendment. Include with the filing any supplemental information requested and a cover letter tagged as correspondence that keys the responses to the comments. If Octillion thinks that compliance with any of the
