Prospectus Cover Page

 

2. Given your disclosure on page 5, it is unclear why you have included a reference to the OTC Bulletin Board on your prospectus cover page. Please advise or revise.

 

Response: We respectfully note the Staff’s comment, and we agree that the reference to the OTC Bulletin Board is not applicable. Therefore, we have revised, the prospectus cover page to delete this reference.

Risk Factors, page 7

 

5. Please include a separate risk factor about how the government regulations disclosed on pages 30 and 31 may affect your business.

 

Response: In reviewing your comment, we felt compelled to add two new separate risk factors which discuss the affects of reimbursement with regards to the Healthcare Reform and Government and Third Party Payor reimbursement. See new Risk Factors 18 & 19.

 

 

6. Please add a risk factor regarding the fact that your sole officer and director expects to devote approximately 10 hours per week to your business operations, as disclosed on page 3, even though you have no employees. Please also disclose in this risk factor Mr. Yeranossian's positions with other businesses, as indicated on page 31. Also, if your management will need to devote a substantial amount of time to compliance initiatives, as you disclose on page 13, then revise your document to explain clearly how you intend to achieve the goals noted in your plan of operation given the amount of time Mr. Yeranossian plans to devote to your business.

 

Response: We have added a risk factor that our sole officer and director expects to devote approximately 10-hours per week to our business operations. We have also disclosed in this risk factor that Mr. Yeranossian holds the position of CEO with A&A Medical Supply. To the second part of your comment, we have disclosed that our management has already sub-contracted the services of an accounting firm, auditor and corporate counsel to help him comply with the compliance initiatives. See new Risk Factor # 9.

 

 

7. Please add a separate risk factor to highlight that your common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act.

Since we are a development stage company …, page 7

 

8. Please tell us the basis for your statement that you have "begun [your] business operations" In this regard, we note your disclosure on page 26 that your operations have been limited to organizational, start-up and capital formation activities. Alternatively, revise to clarify that your business operations have been limited to the activities described on page 26.

 

Response: We agree that the statement "begun our business operations” is not appropriate. We have revised this section to state our business operations have been limited to organizational, start-up, and capital formation activities.

 

 

We expect our operating expenses to increase …, page 9

 

9. Please explain to us how the "proprietary software systems" referenced in this risk factor relate to your business. Similarly, please tell us how the "future computer programs" and "proprietary databases" mentioned on page 32 and your audio housing product referenced on page 33 relate to your business.

 

Response: These references were inadvertently placed in this Registration Statement by error. We apologize for any confusion they might have caused. The wording has been deleted and replaced with the appropriate disclosure.

 

 

Our largest shareholder owns approximately…, page 9

 

10. Please tell us the identity of the "three individuals" mentioned in the first paragraph on page 10 and explain to us how they relate to this risk factor. If individuals other than your largest shareholder are able to substantially control matters requiring shareholder approval, please revise this risk factor accordingly.

 

Response: Anton Yeranossian, our largest shareholder, who owns 55.3% of the class, he has enough votes to solely control matters requiring shareholder approval. The other major shareholders (Irina Seppanen, who owns 18.7% and A&A Medical Supply, who owns 18.4% of the class respectfully, do not have enough votes to control shareholder matters. We have revised the risk factor accordingly.

 

 

You may face significant restrictions…, page 17

11. We note your statement in the second paragraph that you plan to rely on exemptions from registration found in section 90.460 of the Nevada Revised Statutes; however, it does not appear that section 90.460 contains an exemption from registration, please advise or revise.

 

Response: We revised this section to state, “Our Selling Shareholders originally purchased shares in Tropical PC, a company we acquired. Topical PC received a Notice of Effectiveness from the Secretary of State, Securities Division, State of Nevada, dated November 30, 2004, File No. R04-151, which permitted Tropical PC to conduct this Offering.”

 

 

Selling Stockholders, page 18

Response: We have added the footnotes to which we refer in the paragraph numbered (1) following our selling stockholder table.

Products and Services, page 27

 

13. Please tell us the basis for the costs disclosed on page 28 to rebuild a wheelchair and the additional cost that might be recouped if special features were added.

 

Response: The basis for the costs is based on management’s past experience with A&A Medical Supply in repairing wheelchairs. The costs are dependent on the size of the project, the status of disrepair, the complexity of making the repairs and costs involved to add new features to the wheelchair. The repair costs can range from two thousand dollars to three thousand dollars, which is less expensive than replacing the old wheelchair with a new wheelchair. We have added disclosure that the numbers are based on management’s past experience with A&A Medical Supply in repairing wheelchairs.

 

 

Industry Background, page 30

 

14. We note your citation to a study concerning the market size for mobility device use that was undertaken in 2000 and which relied upon data from 1994-1995. Please tell us how you determined that this study provides the most recent available information such that it is appropriate to be included.

Response: We respectfully note the Staff’s comment, and we are impressed that the Staff completed additional research with regards to this study. Based on your comment, we added to the disclosure the study was undertaken in 2002 and relied upon data from 1994-1995.

 

Since there has not been many studies concerning the number wheelchairs in use, we concluded that this study would be appropriate to include. People who have an ambulatory disability, generally do not recover from this disability. They are wheelchair bound for the remainder of their lives. Therefore, although the data in this study is somewhat dated, we do not expect the statistics have change very much, based on this type of disability.

 

We did find some more recent data from the U.S. Census bureau which we included as the last paragraph under Industry Background.

 

 

Wheelchair Reimbursement, page 30

 

15. Please tell us the basis for the statement about management's "market position" and "technical expertise," given the current status of your business operations.

 

Response: We deleted the wording “strong market position” as we agree it is not applicable; however we left unchanged “technical expertise,” based on the Mr. Yeranossian’s seven years working experience in the field of medical supplies and appliances. This experience gives him the technical expertise to handle reimbursement regulatory changes.

 

 

 

Plan of Operation, page 33

 

16. We note disclosures in the first paragraph of this section that "As of the date of this Registration Statement, we have serious concerns as to whether we have, and will have, sufficient cash flow to continue to operate for the next twelve months if we are not successful in finding a market for our audio housing product." Please explain in detail, with a view toward expanded disclosure, the nature of the referenced product market and how it relates to your overall business operations. Also, tell us how the previous disclosures are consistent with disclosures in the cash requirements section on page 34 that "We estimate that our current cash resources will be sufficient to finance our operations, at the current level of activity, for a period of twelve months, which estimate includes the additional expenses the Company will incur upon becoming a reporting company." Please revise the filing as necessary to remove or clarify the disclosures noted in this comment.

 

-6-

 
 

 

 

Response: As stated in comment No. 9 above, this references was inadvertently placed in this Registration Statement by error. Based on the Company’s cash on hand of $31,991, and its prepaid legal fees of $10,000, management believes, without any additional funding or revenues, the Company has sufficient cash to finance its operations, for a period of twelve months, which estimate includes the additional expenses the Company will incur upon becoming a reporting company. We have reconciled the first paragraph on page 33.

 

 

Results of Operations. page 34

 

17. We note your disclosures that your general and administrative expenses included $10,000 related to acquisition costs of a dormant entity, Tropical PC, Inc. Please tell us how long Tropical PC was dormant prior to the date you acquired it and confirm it had no assets or operations as of the acquisition date. Also, explain to us what your business purpose was for making the acquisition and the expected benefit to be derived therefrom.

 

Response: We added to the disclosure, that “Tropical PC has been dormant for approximately three years. At the time of acquisition it had no assets or operations. We acquired Tropical PC to give us a shareholder base in order to position ourselves for future listing on the OTC-BB.”

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 34

 

18. We see that you have recorded prepaid expenses of $10,000. We further note that this is the same amount paid to acquire 25 million shares in Tropical PC, Inc. Please tell us and revise the filing to disclose the nature of the prepaid expense. Provide us with references to the authoritative U.S. GAAP you considered when determining the amount referenced qualifies as an asset.

 

Response: There are two separate $10,000 expenses. The first $10,000 fee was spent to acquire 25 million shares of Tropical PC. This is classified an expense under general and administrative expenses. The second $10,000 fee was spent on prepaid legal fees. This prepaid fee is listed as an asset on the books of the Company. In order to avoid confusion, we added under this section that this represents a prepaid “legal” fees.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management, page 42

 

19. We note your disclosure on page 31 that your CEO is also CEO of A&A Medical Supply, LLC, which owns 18.4% of your outstanding shares of common stock. We also note your disclosure on page 43 that your CEO co-owns A&A. Please explain to us why the shares held by A&A are not also reflected in your CEO's beneficial holdings. Refer to Instruction 2 of Item 403 of Regulation S-K.

 

Response: A&A Medical Supply, LLC is owned by Mr. Frounz Yeranossian, the father of Anton Yeranossian, as disclosed in the security ownership table. It was erroneously stated on Page 31 that A&A Medical Supply is co-owed by Anton Yeranossian. Mr. Yeranossian has no ownership of A&A Medical Supply. This error has been corrected to state A&A Medical Supply is “managed” by Anton Yeranossian. It is for this reason the shares held by A&A are not also reflected in our CEO's beneficial holdings.

 

 

Service Agreement, page 43

 

20. Please expand to disclose the material terms of this agreement. Please also reconcile your statement in the second paragraph that your CEO co-owns A&A Medical Supply with your disclosure in the following paragraph that A&A is owned by your CEO's parents.

 

Response: We have expanded and disclosed the material terms of our service agreement with A&A Medical Supply. We have also reconciled our statement in the second paragraph that our CEO manages A&A Medical Supply. We deleted the reference that he co-owns A&A Medical Supply.

 

 

Promoters, page 43

 

21. We note your statement that Anton Yeranossian can be considered a promoter. Please revise to include the information required by Item 404(c).

 

Response: We added disclosure indicating that Mr. Yeranossian received 1,500,000 restricted common shares, Irina Seppanen received 500,000 restricted common shares, and Frounz Yeranossian of A&A Medical Supply, LLC received 500,000 restricted common shares. They paid par value, $0.001, cash for their founder’s shares. These are promoters of the Company. since they each own more than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares and each are considered founders of the Company, pursuant to the definition of a Promoter in Rule 405 or Regulation C.
