1. We note that you attribute the increase in revenue from 2012 to 2013 to the addition of eight new customers during 2013. You report a smaller operating and net loss from 2012; however it is unclear what underlying reasons accounted for the year-over-year changes in revenue and expense. In this regard, please revise to:
· | clearly disclose and quantify each material factor that contributed to the change in revenue and cost of sales; |
· | provide insight into the underlying business drivers or conditions that contributed to these changes; and |
· | describe any known trends or uncertainties that have had or you expect may reasonably have a material impact on your operations and if you believe that these trends are indicative of future performance. |
For further guidance, please refer to Item 303 of Regulation S-K and the Commission’s Interpretive Release on Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation on our website at: http://www.sec.gov/rules/interp/33-8350.htm.
Response: The Company has made revisions and provided additional disclosure in this section to address these matters.
Note 4. Going Concern, page 20
2. Please revise to expand your description of the financial difficulties giving rise to the going concern opinion issued by your auditors and provide a discussion of a viable plan that has the capability of removing the threat to the continuation of your business.
Response: The Company has made revisions and provided additional disclosure in this section to address these issues.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact Lee W. Cassidy at (202) 387-5400 or the undersigned at (310) 709-4338.
