Please describe in more detail the preliminary market testing you discuss in this section, including who performed the testing, which markets were tested, how results were measured and what constitutes “consumer acceptance.”

Company response: The Company has added the following disclosure to page 26:

Brain Keasberry, our President and sole Director, has at various time conducted all of our tests, beginning in 1999.  Besides testing various solutions on his own vertical blinds, Mr. Keasberry also repaired vertical blinds belonging to family members and friends of Mr. Keasberry.  Mr. Keasberry concluded from this testing experience that there may be a consumer market for a vertical blind repair kit, designed the blind repair kit owned by BRK and had several thousand sample blind repair kits made by a third-party manufacturer.  Next, Mr. Keasberry, started a website, www.blindrepairkit.com, and with no advertising whatsoever, sold those several thousand sample blind repair kits to people who contacted him through the website, and that experience led Mr. Keasberry to believe that there is a consumer market for a vertical blind repair kit, whereupon he decided to form BRK, Inc. in order to commercialize a vertical blind repair kit.

Competition, page 27

  12.
Please revise your disclosure to provide all information required by Item 101(h)(4)(iv) of Regulation S-K. In this regard, we note that you have not described your competitive position and methods of competition.

Company response: The Company has restated its competition section in its entirety as follows:

The company has identified a market opportunity for vertical blind repair kits in the blind repair industry.  We have several competitors, such as Fix My Blinds, Fix a Slat, and Shop Home Trends, all of whom appear to already sell blind repair kits.  Existing or new competitors may enter this segment of the blind repair kit industry with superior repair kits or solutions, thus rendering our blind repair kit obsolete and nullifying our competitive advantage at the time, if any.  There may be manufacturers in certain vertical markets, such as the manufacturers of entire vertical blinds systems, could enter the blind repair kit industry and have financial, technical, manufacturing or marketing capacities superior to our own or have long standing business relationships with homeowners, our primary potential customers.

General

  15.
We refer to your disclosure on page 5 and elsewhere in the registration statement where you state that you have 4,099,920 shares of common stock outstanding prior to the offering. In this regard, please explain to us the reason your balance sheets and statements of shareholders’ deficit do not reflect 4,099,920 common shares outstanding or, alternatively, revise your financial statements as appropriate. Additionally, to the extent that you have not used the appropriate weighted average number of shares outstanding in your net loss per share calculation, please also revise your “Statements of Expenses” as appropriate.

Company response:  The statement of shareholders equity is as of July 31, 2011, and accordingly it will not reflect the shares issued after July 31, 2011.  All shares, except those held by Brian Keasbarry and Melissa Carroll, were issued after July 31, 2011.

Statements of Expenses, page F-4

  16.
Please rename your statement of expenses as a “statement of operations”. In addition, please have your independent registered public accounting firm revise the first paragraph of their audit report accordingly.

Note 7 – Construction in Progress, page F-9

  17.
Please tell us what consideration you have given to accounting for the costs of your untested, and recently completed, machine as a research and development cost as provided in FASB ASC 730-10-25. Please also refer to the definition of “development” which includes prototypes as provided in the Glossary found in ASC 730-10-20.

Company response:  The machine that is being constructed is not for development or testing but being built to begin production of the product upon completion.  Therefore the machine is accounted for as construction in progress and will become a fixed asset when it begins producing product.

Note 9 – Subsequent Events, page F-10

  18.
We refer to your disclosure on page 36 where you state that the convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $73,089 are convertible into an aggregate of 14,671,800 common shares. Please tell us if the convertible promissory note that was converted on October 14, 2011 is the same promissory note that you refer to on page 36 and, if so, the facts and circumstances that resulted in the note being converted into only 1,599,920 common shares.

Company response:  The Company has revised note 9 on page F-10 to include the following information:

On November 8, 2011 the Company issued 1,599,920 shares of common stock to eight entities for partial conversion of the convertible promissory note. The Company converted $7,999.60 of the total of $73,089 of convertible promissory notes at $0.005 per share.  The balance of convertible notes after conversion was $65,089.40.  The balance of the notes after conversion is convertible into 13,017,880 shares of common stock.

On November 18, 2011 the Company issued non-interest bearing demand note for $8,000

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities, page II-2

  19.
We note your disclosure in the last paragraph. The amount of shares of common stock issued on conversion equals the amount of shares offered by the selling stockholders on your registration statement. Please revise to disclose the date on which the debt was issued and tell us whether any of the common stock received on conversion is common stock offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this registration statement.

Company response:  The Company has added the following sentence to page II-2:  “The Company issued the debt between December 16, 2010 and July 19, 2011, and all 1,599,920 shares issued upon conversion of such debt are being registered in this Registration Statement on Form S-1.”

  20.
Given the disclosure in Note 9 on page F-10, it appears that the debt discussed here are convertible promissory notes. However, on page II-2 you indicate that $7,999.60 was received but on page F-10 you state that $78,089 of convertible promissory notes were converted into common stock. Please revise your registration statement to address this inconsistency or otherwise advise us.
 
Company response:  The Company has revised Note 9 on page F-10 to clarify that only $7,999.60 of debt was converted.

Please contact the undersigned with any questions, comments or other communications to the Company.
 
  Very truly yours,
