Re: Westmoore Holdings, Inc.
Form 10-KSB for the Year Ended December 2007
Form 10-QSB for the Period Ended March 31, 2008
File No. 000-33153
Dear Mr. Rosenberg:
In a letter addressed to Mr. Matthew Jennings, dated September 16, 2008, you made the following comments:
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
1. We note that in your amended 10-KSB your management has again concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the financial year. In our letter dated July 29, 2008, we asked you to consider whether management’s failure to provide its report ion internal control over financial reporting impacts its conclusion regarding the effectiveness of your disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal year. Please tell us the factors you considered and highlight for us those factors that supported your conclusion. In particular, please explain how you considered the definition of disclosure controls and procedures provided in Rule 13a-15(e), which indicates that effective controls and procedures would ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. In addition, as discussed in Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 115.02. which you can find at http://www.sec.gov/disvisions/corpfin/guidance/regs-kinterp.htm, failure to file management’s report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting rendered your annual report materially deficient and also rendered the company not timely or current in its Exchange Act Reporting. In light of these facts, please explain how you could conclude that disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Alternatively, please further amend the 10-KSB to disclose management’s revised conclusion on the effectiveness of your disclosure controls and procedures, i.e., that DC&P were not effective as of the end of the fiscal year.
Westmoore Holdings, Inc. response to comment Number 1:
We have amended the 10-KSB to include the following language on Pg. 10:
Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded (as of December 31, 2007 and as amended on September 8, 2008 as a result of management’s further review of these matters), that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the untimely filing of the management report on the internal controls. We have since taken steps to ensure that our disclosure controls and procedures will be effective in that we will be able to timely file the management report in all future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
General
2. We note that a letter was not filed as CORRESP with your amended Form 10- KSB. In our letter dated July 29, 2008 we requested that management furnish, in a letter, a statement from the company acknowledging that management furnish, in a letter, a statement from the company acknowledging that:
· | The company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing. |
· | 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 |
· | 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. |
