49. | We have taken your Comment under advisement and addressed as required. |
50. | We have considered your Comment and have revised the March 31, 2005 financial statements to properly reclass the 2005 ownership draws to compensation expense. |
51. | We have considered your Comment and have revised the March 31, 2006 financial statements to include the issuance of warrants which was valued at $20,000. The value was determined to be appropriate based on the following: Kinder Travel is a start-up company and Daniel L. Baxter serves as our CEO in addition to providing accounting services to us through Mardan Consulting, Inc. Since the Company’s operations are relatively small, the involvement of Mr. Baxter is limited, even as our CEO. As a full-time CEO for a Company such as ours, Mr. Baxter could expect to earn in excess of $200,000, an amount that we have pro-rated to compensate him. Additionally, Mr. Baxter has agreed to accept for slightly less than the market rate for the potential upside that his shares will be worth should the Company be successful in executing its business plan. The March 31, 2006 financial statements have also been revised to include reference to the outstanding warrants in the earnings per share accounting policy that states the warrants are anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net losses. |
52. | At the time of the acquisition management’s best estimate of the value of the shares was US $.05 per share. At the actual date of conversion there was no reasonable basis to determine the fair value of the Company so the recapitalization was recorded at the par value of the stock as converted to Canadian dollars for reporting purposes. The original entry to record the $20,000 was reversed within the reporting quarter when the shares were issued. No gain or loss was converted on the conversion (this was not considered to be an extinguishment of debt). Prior to the acquisition of KTT, the Company was a ‘shell company’ as defined in Section 7.21.1 of the SEC Accounting and Reporting Manual. The intent of the parties entering into the transaction was for the stockholder of KTT to become the stockholder of the Company. Therefore, while the US $20,000 note could legally have been redeemed for cash, it was the intent of all parties from the beginning to convert the note to stock which occurred in March 2006. Considering the principle of substance over form, the transaction met the definition of a public shell merger as defined in Section 10.516 Accounting Interpretations of the SEC Accounting and Reporting Manual, and was treated as a recapitalization of the Company. The $466 was charged against retained earnings since the balance of additional paid in capital was zero. The shares were issued in June 2006. |
53. | We have updated the Registration Statement as necessary to clarify the period covered in the Management Discussion and Analysis during 2005, which is the entire year. Please refer to page(s) 28 - 33. The financial statements present the operations of the sole proprietor from January 1, 2005 through October 31, 2005 and of the sole proprietor as combined with the Company from November 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005 as described in Note 2 of the 2005 audited financial statements. Therefore, the information presented in the financial statements is for the full 12 months of 2005 as labeled. |
54. | We have considered your Comment and have added language to Note 2 of the Financial Statements that gives the proforma earnings per share for 2005 as if the 400,000 shares of common stock had been outstanding since January 1, 2005. |
55. | We have considered your Comment and have reconciled the discrepancy to unequivocally state that the demand loan is from an unrelated party. Additionally, please accept the following in response to your comment. The loan was a short term advance from an unrelated party (the "Lender"). This Lender agreed to provide up to CDN $100,000 for 18 months without interest in exchange for favorable rates on family travel packages. The company drew down CDN $50,000 in January 2005, CDN $25,000 in January 2006, and paid it all back in July 2006. The Company has no plans to draw further funds from this source. |
56. | We have considered your Comment and a summary of our cancellation policy has been added to our financial statements. This policy may also be cross referenced elsewhere in our Registration Statement on page(s) 30. |
57. | We have considered your Comment and specific disclosures have been added to the 2005 financial statements for both revenue and accounts receivable concentrations as applicable. |
58. | We have considered your Comment and respond in the following manner: Although work was done pertaining to our website in 2005, such work only related to design and concept. In fact, the company we originally hired, Corasen Communications, never produced an actual working web page. We terminated our agreement with them for lack of performance in 2005. We put future development on hold until we entered into a new corporate branding and website development agreement with Core Associates in March 2006. They began work on the website in the 2nd quarter of 2006 based on our original design work. Accordingly, all costs incurred during 2005 and through March 31, 2006, have been related to the planning stage as defined by Exhibit 00-2A in EITF 00-2 and have been expensed as incurred in accordance with EITF 00-2, paragraph 4. A policy disclosure for web site costs has been added to the 2005 financial statements. |
59. | We have considered your Comment and respond in the following manner: The 2005 financial statements have been revised to reflect the actual amount of net operating loss carry forwards available to offset future taxable income as well as to disclose the resulting deferred tax asset which has been fully reserved. The reference to the deferred tax liability has been removed. Foreign Exchange Transaction Gains/Losses was a loss of $244 in 2005 and a gain of $141 in the first quarter of 2006. |
60. | We have considered your Comment and updated have provided an updated legal consent. Please refer to Exhibit 5.1. |
61. | We have considered your Comment and updated have provided an updated legal consent. Please refer to Exhibit 5.1. |
62. | We have considered your Comment and respond in the following manner: Exhibit A has been previously filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Registration Statement. Exhibit B was omitted from filing since the parties waived the requirement for financial statements. |
In addition to the above, on August 31, 2006, the Company filed via the Edgar online system Amendment No. 1 to its Registration Statement, with the requisite consents, additional necessary exhibits and all signatures.
