Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The options were not offered via general
solicitation to the public but solely to the aforementioned purchaser or service
provider. No sales commissions or other remuneration was paid
in connection with these issuances.
In
summary, for fiscal 2009 we issued 661,303 shares of common stock valued at
$639,673 to service providers who provided various services. We also
received $300,000 in cash in exchange for 533,332 common shares. In fiscal 2009,
we also issued 111,111 preferred shares for $100,000. In 2008, we
issued 3,456,550 shares of common stock valued at $1,823,400 to service
providers who supported largely our research and development
activities. In fiscal 2008, we also issued 1,000,000 shares
of preferred stock for $500,000. Further, for fiscal 2009, we
issued warrants to purchase 1,374,421 shares of Common Stock with exercise
prices ranging from $0.60 to $1.75 per share. The warrants vest
immediately and have a contractual life ranging from 1.5 to 5 years. The total
value of the warrants issued in conjunction with services provided and
convertible preferred debt amounted to $195,288. The value was
determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with input assumptions of (1)
volatility of 64% - 148%, (2) expected life ranging from 1.5 to
5 years, (3) risk free rate ranging from 0.85% to 1.55%, and (4)
expected dividends of zero.”
FORM 10K FOR
THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2010
We note the statement on page 31 that
the company “has had no related party transactions for the fiscal years ended
June 30, 2009, 2008 or December 31, 2007”. We note, however, that
patent assignment agreements dated July 1, 2008 entered into between your wholly
owned subsidiary and Messrs. Gordon and Gorodnitsky. Please revise or
advise.
We are assuming this comment refers to
Item 13 set forth on page 41 of the 2010 10-K filing which reads as
follows:
“In
accordance with item 404 (a) of regulation S-K, the company has had no related
party transactions during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 or
2009.”
Accordingly, we have taken your comment
into advisement and have prepared the following
revision:
In
accordance with item 404 (a) of regulation S-K, the company has had no related
party transactions during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 or 2009, with the
exception that:
On July
1, 2008, our wholly owned subidiary entered into Patent Assignment Agreements
with both our President, Igor Gorodnitsky, and our CEO, Roman Gordon, where
certain devices and methods involved in the hydrodynamic cavitation processes
invented by the President and CEO have been assigned to the
Company. In exchange, we agreed to pay a royalty of 5% of future
gross revenues to each of the CEO and President for future licensing, leasing,
and/or rental revenue generated from products using the assigned
technologies. These were subsequently assigned to Cavitation
Technologies on May 13, 2010.
On April
30, 2008, our wholly owned subsidiary entered into an employment agreement with
a Varvara Grichko, for any technologies invented by Ms. Grichko, the Company
shall pay a royalty of 5% of future revenues received in the first year and 3%
in subsequent years from licensing, leasing, and rental revenues associated with
patents assigned from Ms. Grichko.
We
have reviewed your response to comment eight in our letter dated October 22,
2010. With a view to clarifying disclosure, advise us which sections
of the January 2010 agreement cover the terms relating to “a minimum number of
units” and “a variable commission”. Also we note from the Form 8-K
filed November 19, 2010 that a new agreement superseded the January 2010
agreement. With a view to disclosure in future filings, please advise us if and
how the new agreement changed the minimum unit and commission
terms.
Response
to SEC.
Article
9.01(b) describes the minimum number of units to be purchased and Article
7.01(b) describes the variable commission. As a result of the
November 2010 agreement, the minimum number of units remains unchanged while the
variable commission increased.
We
believe the number of units and variable commission are confidential information
that could be of value and provide a competitive advantage to our
competitors. We intend to file a request to delete this information
from the agreement that we intend to file with our next 10Q. If you
request, we will confide in you these numbers, but we believe that revealing the
minimum number of units and variable commission to our competitors is not in the
best interests of our shareholders or out company.
Comment
4
We have reviewed
your response to prior comment nine. Please revise to disclose the
material terms. See Regulation S-K Compliance and Disclosure
Interpretation No. 146.04 as guidance. In this regard, it is unclear
how the monthly payment was determined or whether and how such amount may change
as the arrangement continues “into the foreseeable future”.
We will
insert the following description into the 10K/A with respect to our arrangement
with the South Carolina refining plant.
In June
2010 we completed a pilot test of our 40 GPM NANO Neutralization System at
a 200 tons/day commercial crude vegetable oil refining plant in South Carolina.
The system has been integrated and is operating at the plant. We have received
monthly payments of $5,000.00 from this facility for use of our system since May
2010. Because there is no written agreement with this client, amounts
received were recorded as Deferred Revenue in our balance sheet as of September
30, 2010. The company is uncertain as to how long these payments
will continue. Although there is no written agreement, our understanding of
the material elements of this verbal agreement are that this facility will
continue to pay us $5,000 monthly for the continued use of our
system. The amount
was based on the rental value of the equipment. The amount is
expected to remain unchanged as long as we continue to receive payments which is
uncertain.
