File No. 333-176093


Dear Mr. Dobbie:

The purpose of this letter is to provide the Company’s responses to the May 24, 2012 Comment Letter (the “Comment Letter”) to Alexander Bafer, Chief Executive Officer of Brick Top Productions, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”).  For your convenience, we have restated the comments from the Comment Letter below followed by the Company’s response.  

General

COMMENT 1.

Since you appear to qualify as an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, please disclose on your prospectus cover page that you are an emerging growth company and revise your prospectus to:

·

Describe how and when a company may lose emerging growth company status;


·

Briefly describe the various exemptions that are available to you, such as exemptions from Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Section 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and


·

State your election under Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act:

·

If you have elected to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b), include a statement that the election is irrevocable; or


·

If you have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1), provide a risk factor explaining that this election allows you to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. Please state in your risk factor that, as a result of this election, your financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. Include a similar statement in your critical accounting policy disclosures.


In addition, consider describing the extent to which any of these exemptions are available to you as a Smaller Reporting Company.

Response:

We have revised the Registration Statement to disclose on the prospectus cover page that the Company is an emerging growth company and to:

·

Describe how and when the Company may lose emerging growth company status;


·

Briefly describe the various exemptions that are available to the Company; and


·

State the Company’s election under Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1).  We have inserted risk factors explaining that this election allows the Company to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies, and that, as a result thereof, the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.


We have included a similar statement in our critical accounting policy disclosures.

COMMENT 2.

Please update the second paragraph to include information and net loss data pertaining to your fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

Response:

We have updated the second paragraph to include information and net loss data pertaining to the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and the interim three month period ended March 31, 2012.

Risk Factors, page 4

We have accrued $87,500 in compensation for our CEO and $62,500, page 6

COMMENT 3.

Please reconcile the disclosure in this risk factor and its heading with the statement on page 4 that you have accrued executive salary expense of $175,000. We note that the sum of $87,500 and $62,500 is $150,000, not $175,000. To the extent necessary please also revise the second-to-last sentence in the risk factor titled "Our sole employee is also our sole director, and therefore has the ability to set his own compensation."

Response:

We have revised the statement on page 4 that the Company has accrued executive salary expense of $175,000 to properly reflect that the Company has accrued executive salary expense of $150,000.  The foregoing was a typo.

Selling Shareholders, page 10

COMMENT 4.

We note that the total number of shares in the column "Total Shares to be Registered Pursuant to this Offering" now exceeds the 7,118,500 shares listed on the registration statement cover page and the prospectus cover page. Please revise accordingly.

Response:

We have revised the “Total Shares to be Registered Pursuant to this Offering”, and the other applicable sections of the Registration Statement, to provide that the Company is registering 7,243,500 shares of common stock.
