Files August 21, 2013
File No. 333-166057
Dear Ms. Haywood,
In response to your letter dated September 17, 2013 we respectfully answer as follows:
General
1. Please amend your Form 8-K/A to address the following comments.
Answer: See following
2. We note that you acquired 100% of the voting equity interest in Alpha Wise Assets, LLC. It appears your transaction may be a reverse merger. Please refer to ASC 805-40 and provide us with your basis for concluding your transaction represents a business combination.
Answer: We have revised the financial statements to account for the transactions as a reverse merger.
3. If you conclude your transaction was a reverse merger, please disclose this fact and also identify the accounting acquirer and the accounting acquiree. In addition, please ensure that your accounting will comply with the following bullet points:
- Prior to the date of the reverse merger, the historical financial statements are required to be those of the accounting acquirer and should only include the historical results and operations of the accounting acquirer;
- The historical financial statements (the accounting acquirer) are required to reflect the shares issued by the accounting acquiree “to acquire” the accounting acquirer as outstanding for all periods presented in a manner similar to a stock split. This may require a recalculation of the weighted average shares outstanding for EPS purposes. Differences in the par value of the accounting acquirer and the accounting acquiree’s stock should be offset to additional paid-in capital;
- The historical financial statements (the accounting acquirer) are required to reflect the reverse merger of the accounting acquiree on the acquisition date. On the acquisition date, the accounting acquiree’s outstanding shares should be reflected as being issued by the accounting acquirer to acquire the accounting acquiree; and
- Subsequent to the date of the reverse merger, the historical financial statements are required to be those of the accounting acquirer and the accounting acquiree on a consolidated basis.
Answer: The amended filings show the historical financial statements to be those of the accounting acquire.
