1.

Provide us this information as of the date of the business combination and as of a recent date.

COMPANY RESPONSE

We have updated the disclosurein the penultimate sentence of the paragraph following paragraph (h) on page 5 to state “at the time of the business combination the companies had no revenue or profits and as of January 5, 2012 continues to have no revenue or profits.”

2. Refer to your disclosure in the last paragraph of this section. Please tell us the extent that Mr. Neher or his affiliates have historically engaged in transactions in the stock of shell companies they controlled before a business combination. Also, please provide us information regarding the timing of transactions

COMPANY RESPONSE

We have clarified our disclosure on page 6 to state “In prior blank check companies, Mr. Neher or his affiliates purchased shares from the companies when incorporated and in all cases have tender a certain number of shares back to companies in connection with the change of control. Mr. Neher or his affiliates have not engaged in the sale of securities before or after a business combination other than those securities owned and sold by the companies to complete the change of control (See “Prior Blank Check Company Experience on page 20)”.  

Form of Acquisition, page 6

3. Refer to the second paragraph on page 7. Please clarify the nature of the “certain types of transactions” that can be entered into without stockholder approval.

COMPANY RESPONSE

We have modified our disclosures on page 6 and 7 as follows “We do not intend to supply disclosure to shareholders concerning a target company prior to the consummation of a business combination transaction, unless required by applicable law or regulation.  In the event a proposed business combination involves a change in majority of directors, we will file and provide to shareholders a Schedule 14F-1, which shall include, information concerning the target company, as required. We will file a current report on Form 8-K, as required, within four business days of a business combination which results in ceasing to be a shell company. This Form 8-K will include complete disclosure of the target company, including audited financial statements”. “In the case of an acquisition, the transaction may be accomplished upon the sole determination of management without any vote or approval by stockholders. For example, we may enter into an acquisition by way of a “triangular” merger with a target company. Under this commonly used structure, we would create an acquisition subsidiary specific for the transaction. That subsidiary would enter into a merger agreement with the target company, to which we would also be a party as our company would be providing the merger consideration. Such a structure would not require the approval of our shareholders, although certain aspects of such transaction could require such approvals, such as any resulting changes to our articles of incorporation.  In the case of a statutory merger or consolidation directly involving the Company, it will likely be necessary to call a stockholders’ meeting and obtain the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding securities.  The necessity to obtain such stockholder approval may result in delay and additional expense in the consummation of any proposed transaction and will also give rise to certain appraisal rights to dissenting stockholders.  Most likely, management will seek to structure any such transaction so as not to require stockholder approval”.

For clarification and disclosure regarding the prior blank check companies Mr. Neher and his affiliated have been involved with, in all case there was change of control to an individuals or private company that resulted in changing the shell status. At the time of change of control Mr. Neher was the sole officer, director and shareholder and gave written consent for the change of control. Subsequently, each company filed a form 8-K describing the change of control that included Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Item 5.01 Change in Control of Registrant and Item 5.01 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers: Election of Directors, as described in the “Prior Blank Check Experience” section.

4. Refer to the last two sentences of the second paragraph on page 7. Please clarify how you provide to your stockholders “complete disclosure documentation concerning the potential target” if the transaction does not require shareholder vote or consent.

The business of Accelerated Acquisition, page 8

6. Refer to the penultimate sentence of this risk factor.

·   Given your disclosure in the second paragraph of page 23, please disclose here, if true, that Accelerated Venture Partners LLC is not subject to any binding obligation to pay the expenses.

COMPANY RESPONSE

We have modified the disclosure to state “Accelerated, a company affiliated with management, will pay all expenses incurred by the Company until a business combination is effected, without repayment and no loan agreement or other contract has been entered into regarding such payment by Accelerated”

·   Please reconcile your disclosure here that Accelerated Venture Partners LLC will pay all expenses with your disclosure in the first paragraph on page 9 that you will sustain operating expenses. Likewise, reconcile your disclosure at the bottom of page 15 which says both that (1) Accelerated Venture Partners LLC will pay all expenses and (2) you will meet costs through treasury funds, loans or investment proceeds.

COMPANY RESPONSE

We have revised the disclosure on page 9 and page 15 to state that “Accelerated, a company affiliated with management, will pay all expenses incurred by the Company until a business combination is effected, without repayment and no loan agreement or other contract has been entered into regarding such payment by Accelerated”

·   Your disclosure here suggests that Accelerated Venture Partners LLC will pay your expenses without repayment; however, your disclosure on page 10 that Accelerated Venture Partners LLC will pay expenses without reimbursement until the business combination “is effected” suggests that Accelerated Venture Partners LLC will seek reimbursement after the business combination. Please clarify.

COMPANY RESPONSE

We have revised the disclosure on page 10 to state that “Accelerated Venture Partners, LLC, , will pay all expenses incurred by the Company until a business combination is effected, without repayment and no loan agreement or other contract has been entered into regarding such payment by Accelerated.

·   Also tell us whether Accelerated Venture Partners LLC paid the expenses of other blank check companies controlled by your affiliates, the amount of those expenses, and how Accelerated Venture Partners LLC recovered its costs.

COMPANY RESPONSE

Accelerated Venture Partners LLC has paid all expenses of other blank check companies controlled by affiliates, the estimated expenses per company is $20,000 a year and Accelerated has paid expenses of approximately $475,000 from 2008 through 2011in blank check expenses. It is anticipated that the Accelerated will recover its cost through the sale equity retained in the business combination once the business is successful and the necessary SEC requirements for share resale have been met. As of January 5, 2012, Mr. Neher or his affiliates purchased shares from the blank check companies when incorporated and in all cases have tender a certain number of shares back to companies in connection with the change of control. Mr. Neher or his affiliates have not engaged in the sale of securities before or after a business combination other than those securities owned and sold by the companies to complete the change of control (See “Prior Blank Check Company Experience on page 20)”.

·   With a view toward disclosure, please tell us the extent of Accelerated Venture Partners LLC’s assets. Also tell us whether Accelerated Venture Partners LLC has substantial assets and operations other than that related to blank check companies of your affiliates.

COMPANY RESPONSE

Accelerated Venture Partners, LLC’s primary assets are restricted securities that our related to prior business combinations completed and the end value will depend on the success of the particular venture. Example; Oro East Mining (FKA Accelerated Acquisitions I), the business combination was completed July 2010 and has taken Oro East Mining fifteen months to prepare a $3 stock offering as filed in form S-1 on October 25, 2011. If successful, shares held by Accelerated could be valued at as much as $9 million dollars at a $3 stock price. With regards to the other companies listed in the “Prior Blank Check Company Experience” section there is no way to determine the end value of the securities held by Accelerated until the they move through the full registration process and begin trading. Accelerated also has several private companies that it incubated in order to evaluate management, technology and the viability of opportunities, none of who have entered into a business combination. Although, Accelerated has substantial equity in many individual private companies we have not been able to capitalize on the opportunities to date. The primary financing of Accelerated since August 2007 (inception) has come from the founder Timothy J. Neher.  

The current difficult economic climate may affect…, page 10

7. Please clarify the basis for your belief that you “will have” capital that is sought by firms.

Also, with a view toward clarified disclosure, please provide us support for your belief that there are “numerous firms” seeking this capital. Trading of Securities in Secondary market, page 14

COMPANY RESPONSE

We have modified the disclosure on page 10, 14 and 16 for the current difficult economic climate. “Because of general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, our management believes that there are the perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation. Such perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation include, among other things, facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be obtained, providing liquidity for the principals of and investors in a business, creating a means for providing incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, and offering greater flexibility in structuring acquisitions, joint ventures and the like through the issuance of stock. Potentially available business combinations may occur in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex”.

8. Please provide us your analysis of whether recent changes to exchange listing standards for reverse merger companies affect your disclosure here and throughout your document regarding the listing of your securities. See for example Release No. 34-65708 (November 8, 2011).

COMPANY RESPONSE

In the analysis of the additional listing requirement regarding Reverse Merger companies we have added disclosure on page 13 and 15 stating “The Nasdaq Stock Market, New York Stock Exchange and NYSE Amex have adopted additional initial listing requirements for companies that go public through a reverse merger or similar transaction (“Reverse Merger companies”) to become exchange listed. Specifically, the new requirements would prohibit a Reverse Merger company from listing its shares on all three major U.S. stock exchanges until:

·   The company (i) has completed a one-year pre-listing “seasoning period” by trading in the U.S. over-the-counter market or on another regulated U.S. or foreign exchange following the reverse merger and (ii) has timely filed all required reports with the SEC (essentially requiring at least one full fiscal year of the Reverse Merger company’s periodic reports, including a Form 10-K with audited historical financial statements), and

·   The company has maintained the requisite minimum share price ($4 in the case of Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange and $3 for NYSE Amex) in the over-the counter market for a sustained period, and also for at least 30 of the 60 trading days immediately prior to submitting its listing application and the exchange’s decision to approve the application for listing (to counter any temporary effect of artificial stock manipulation or a company’s reverse stock split).

     The additional  listing requirements would not apply to a Reverse Merger company’s listing application if (i) the listing is in connection with a firm commitment underwritten public offering providing gross proceeds to the company of at least $40 million or (ii) the reverse merger occurred five or more years before applying to list so that at least four annual reports on Form 10-K with audited historical financial information have been filed by the Company with the SEC following the one-year trading period”.
