Subject: SEC Comment Letter: Dynamic Energy Alliance Corporation Form 10-K 2011
Gentlemen,
Pursuant to the initial response letter submitted by securities counsel of Dynamic Energy Alliance Corporation (the “Company”) to your office on June 26, 2012, and the follow up conversation with our securities counsel, we kindly submits the following response to the original SEC comment letter dated June 19, 2012.
After review by our accountants and auditors, the following are comments from the Company’s management, in the same order and numbering as detailed in the SEC comment letter.
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20011
1. | Report of Independent Registered Accounting Firm - Page F-2 |
Comment:
“We note that your independent auditors’ report refers to your consolidated statement of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2010. We further note the aforementioned financial statements include a reference to the year ended December 31, 2010. Please have your auditor revise its report to clarify why it only refers to the six month period rather than the full year. The report could state, if true, that the period audited is from June 30, 2010 (date of inception) through December 31, 2010. In this regard, please also revise the heading to the financial statements as appropriate to properly state the period covered in the December 31, 2010 column.”
Page 2 of 8
Response:
The SEC reviewer comments that the period should be “from June 30, 2010 (date of inception) through December 31, 2010”, rather than “for the six months ended December 31, 2010”. This is correct, since the exact date for incorporation of the DEDC was June 30, 2010.
The auditors have now revised their audit report to refer to the period from June 30, 2010 (inception) through December 31, 2010, rather than to a six month period. Accordingly, the headings in both the financial statements and the Form 10-K/A have been revised to properly state this period covered in the December 31, 2010 columns.
For background, DEDC was incorporated on June 30, 2010 (per note 1 disclosure in the December 31, 2010 audited financial statements). Further, note 3 (b) in the December 31, 2011 financial statements discloses that under reverse acquisition accounting and GAAP, prior to March 9, 2011 the financial statements reflect only operations of DEDC, i.e. from June 30, 2010 to December 31, 2010.
2. | Consolidated Statements of Operations, Page F-4 |
Comment:
“Please explain to us why there are no amounts reflected in the December 31, 2010 column here or in your consolidated statement of cash flows. Reconcile the amounts presented here with the amounts presented in the Form 8-K filed on March 16, 2011 which reflects a net loss of $1.1 million for the six month period. Please revise as appropriate.”
Response:
The Company’s management has reviewed the Form 8-K filed on March 16, 2011 which includes the audited financial statements of DEDC for the six-month period to December 31, 2010.
The Company’s management agrees that disclosure should be revised to reflect this net loss of $1.1 million in the 2010 comparative figures of the 2011 Consolidated Statements of Operations, Statements of Cash Flows and in certain note disclosures.
3. | Note 3, Merger with DEDC, page F-8 |
Comment:
“We note your disclosures here that you accounted for the merger between Mammatech Corporation and you as a recapitalization and that you provide the details of the terms of the merger. We further note from page F-5 that you present two line items within your consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit on page F-5 entitled “private company common shares issued in exchange transaction” and “recapitalization.” Please explain to us in more detail how you accounted for the recapitalization based upon the terms of the merger. Cite the accounting the literature relied upon and how it applied to your situation.”

Response:
Although the disclosed terminology categorizing the transaction as “a recapitalization”, as suggested by the auditors, may be a sweeping generalization, and an alternative wording may have been more descriptive, it is still relevant.
Under a reverse merger, the private company DEDC did in fact acquire control of the public vehicle and it became the acquirer and its retained earnings (deficit) and shares became the opening financial position of the public company. The shareholdings in DEDC became “recapitalized” by exchanging their private company shares in those of the public company.
Accordingly, the financial statements had been correctly prepared as if the reverse merger had occurred retroactively and the shares and share amounts reflect the effects of the recapitalization for all periods presented. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805-40-25.1 (“GAAP”), which provides that the merger of a private operating company into a non-operating public corporation without significant net assets typically results in the owners and management of the private company having actual or effective operating control of the combined company after the transaction, with the shareholders of the former public corporation continuing only as passive investors.
Pursuant the SEC’s specific request to explain and further detail two line items within the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Deficit, we offer the following explanation.
(a) Line item regarding recapitalization - 22,871,100 common shares issued, booked at par value of $2,287, and having an overall effect to Stockholders’ Deficit of $322,000, with the difference of $324,287 to APIC.
Prior to the reverse merger, the total issued common shares of the public company aggregated 52,409,888 shares, of which the 85.5% control block of 44,786,188 shares were owned by Verdad Telecom. This control block was purchased by the Company for $322,000 and the shares were returned to Treasury, resulting in 7,623,700 outstanding shares (22,871,100 post-split shares) immediately prior to the reverse merger. This net equity transaction had been categorized as a “recapitalization” of the former private company equity interests. Accordingly, the disclosure of this transaction appears correct and in accordance with GAAP.
(b) Line item regarding private company 45,110,076 common shares issued in a share exchange transaction, $4,511 credited to par value of common shares and debited to Additional Paid-in Capital (“APIC”).
Prior to the reverse merger, DEDC issued 15,036,692 private company shares to various investors (45,110,076 post-split shares), which were then converted to public company shares on the reverse merger. Accordingly, the disclosure of this transaction appears correct and in accordance with GAAP.

Conclusion:
The Company’s management and accountants have prepared and reviewed a revision of the 2010 comparative figures in the 2011 financial statements, and have completed a red-line (and, final) amended version Form 10-K for review.
Please be so kind as to provide the Company with a letter of acceptance from the SEC to the proposed response changes so that management can prepare and file the Form 10K/A, within a timely manner.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
