Dear Mr. Allegretto:
This letter sets forth additional responses to our previously filed response dated May 19, 2016 for Harrison, Vickers and Waterman Inc. (“HVW” or the “Company”) to the Staff’s comment letter dated March 15, 2016. If the responses below as well as the audited financial statements to be submitted satisfactorily address the comments, we will move forward to include all previous responses as well as this response in the completion of Amendment 1 to the Form 10-K that was previously filed on September 15, 2015 as well as to complete Amendment 1 to the Form 8-K that was previously filed on April 27, 2015. In addition, we will soon thereafter where applicable file Amendment 1 to the Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2015 that was filed on November 16, 2015 and where applicable file Amendment 1 to the Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2015 that was filed on February 16, 2016. After these amendments, we will then file Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2016.
Comment Letter Dated May 5, 2016
Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2015
Note 1 – Organization and Operations, page F-7, and
Form 8-K filed April 27, 2015
1. We have read your response to comments 2 and 4 in your letter dated May 2, 2016 where you indicate you will account for the April 21, 2015 transaction with ABH as a reverse acquisition. Please note that it is the Company’s responsibility to determine the correct financial statements to file under the federal securities laws. In this regard, please represent in your response letter whether you have sought council from your independent auditor or other accounting expert as to the proper financial statements to be included in your filings under the Exchange Act. Based on your representations in your response, we are unclear as to how you determined that ADI is the acquirer, please explain in detail. If you continue to believe ADI is the acquirer, explain why you propose to present ABH’s, as opposed to ADI’s, financial statements in the amended Forms 8-K and 10-K. In any event, a pro forma income statement(s) and balance sheet that reflect the acquisition of HVW should also be included in the amendment to your Form 8-K. Pro forma financial statements should contain separate columns for the acquirer, HVW and any adjustments related to the acquisition of HVW. Please note that adjustments to HVW should be explained via footnote. Such audited and pro forma financial statements should be as of a date within the most recently completed fiscal period of the accounting acquirer at or prior to the acquisition date. The pro forma financial statements should also describe the nature of “all expenditures associated with the financing” and how you and your auditor considered whether some or all of such expenditures represented acquisition-related costs of HVW as defined in ASC 805-10-25-23. Lastly, your amended Form 10-K should contain audited financial statements for the fiscal year-end of the acquirer with the results of HVW included from the acquisition date. Footnote disclosure should be comprehensive and explain your accounting for the acquisition along with all the applicable disclosure called for by ASC 805-10-50-2. Please also note that all Form 10- Q’s filed subsequent to the acquisition date will also need to be amended to reflect the acquisition of HVW. We may have further substantial comment upon review of the amendments.
Additional Response:
In addition to our previous responses, we propose to add more footnote disclosures and language to amendment 1 to Form 10-K for June 30, 2015 to address the sales transaction between the applicable entities (ADI, ABH and HVW) under common control as follows:
“Under ASC 805, control is defined as a controlling financial interest. The usual determination whether common control or controlling financial interest exists is ownership of a majority voting interest and therefore as a general rule, ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the outstanding voting shares of another entity. In this case, ADI has common control by owning 51% voting rights and the majority of the common shares of HVW. Common control transactions are transfers and exchanges between entities that are under the control of the same parent (ADI), or are transactions in which all of the combining entities are controlled by the same party or parties before and after the transactions and that control is not transitory. When accounting for transfers of assets or exchanges of shares between entities under common control using the provisions of ASC 805-50-30, the entity (HVW) that receives the net assets or equity interests of ABH is required to measure the recognized assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts (historical cost) in the accounts of the transferring entity at the date of transfer. Fair value and/or goodwill calculations are not applicable and will not be reflected in the amended financials. While combinations among entities or businesses under common control may result in a change in control from the perspective of a standalone reporting entity, common control transactions do not result in a change in control at the ultimate parent (ADI) of the controlling shareholder level. In accordance with ASC 805-50-45, the financial statements of the receiving entity (HVW) shall report results of operations for the period in which the transfer occurs as though the transfer of net assets or exchange of equity interests had occurred at the beginning of the period. Results of operations for that period will thus comprise those of the previously separate entities combined from the beginning of the period to the date the transfer is completed and those of the combined operations from the date to the end of the period. As such, HVW will restate and present its June 30, 2016 financial statements as though the assets and liabilities of ABH had been transferred at the beginning of the period ( in this case to include the acquired ABH entity from its inception in December, 2014 through June 30. 2015 as there are no prior year comparisons for ABH). Based on these changes, listed below are the revised financial statements for HVW at June 30, 2015:”
