Form 12b-25 filed on March 31, 2009 and May 15, 2009


SEC Comment

4.

Please clarify the statement that your “Certifying Accountant is still in the process of reviewing the Registrant’s [filing]…”  Explain to us why your independent registered public accounting firm affects your ability to file our Form 10-K and Form 10-Q timely.  Please confirm that you will, in future filings, include an exhibit that contains a statement signed by your independent registered public accounting firm stating the specific reasons why they are unable to furnish the required opinion, report or certification on or before the date such reports must be filed, pursuant to the Rule 12b-25(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.


Company Comment

4.

How our independent registered public accounting firm affects our ability to file your form 10-K is that we must receive their sign off on the Audit Report that forms part of the Financial Statement and Notes portion of the 10-K and we in addition request that they, because of their exposure to reading many 10-K’s, do an informal review with comments of the complete 10-K before we release it for filing.


With regards to our 10-Q we also have our independent registered public accounting firm carry out an informal review with comments of the completed 10-Q before we release it for filing.


These reviews on occasion may result in requests for further information to assist them in the preparation of suggestions on presentation and/or content which due to our limited staff can cause conflicts in time allocations which in turn result in delays in responses.


Because of our limited staff and the resulting time conflicts, which is usually cause for the delays in getting information back to our independent registered public accounting firm, a more accurate description may be “The reason causing the inability to file timely could not be eliminated by the registrant without unreasonable effort or expense.”


We confirm that  in future filings, pursuant to Rule 12-b25(c) under the Securities Act of 1934, that if the un-timely filing “relates to the inability of any person, other than the registrant, to furnish any required opinion, report or certification, the Form 12b-25 shall have attached as an exhibit a statement signed by such person stating the specific reasons why such person is unable to furnish the required opinion, report or certification on or before the date such report must be filed.”


We understand that (1) the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; (2) staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and (3) the company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.


Yours truly,

1st NRG, Corp.
