Registration
Statement on Form 20-F
Filed
April 29, 2009
File
No. 0-53646
Dear Mr.
Schwall:
On behalf
of our client, Eugenic Corp., an Ontario, Canada corporation (the “Company”) and
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), we hereby
submit via EDGAR, Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Company’s
Registration Statement on Form 20-F (File No. 0-53646) (the “Registration
Statement”), including certain exhibits thereto. Separately, we are
delivering to the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”)
three additional copies of the Amendment marked to show changes from the
Registration Statement originally filed.
By letter
dated May 26, 2009 (the “Comment Letter”) from H. Roger Schwall, Assistant
Director, the Company was informed of the comments of the Staff with respect to
the originally filed Registration Statement. In addition to
responding to the Staff’s comments, the Company has amended the Registration
Statement to update the financial statements and certain other information
contained in the Registration Statement. Set forth below are the
Staff’s comments, indicated in bold, together with responses thereto by the
Company.
Form
20-F
General
|
1.
|
The
Form 20-F registration statement will become automatically effective 60
days from the date of the first filing. Upon effectiveness, you will
become subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, even if we have not cleared all comments. As this is a
voluntary filing, you may withdraw the filing so that it does not become
effective in a deficient form. Please contact us if you need to discuss
this alternative.
|
We are
aware of the automatic effectiveness and consequences thereof.
|
2.
|
You
will expedite the review process if you address each portion of every
numbered comment that appears in this letter. Provide complete responses
and, where disclosure has changed, indicate precisely where in the marked
version of the amendment you file we will find your responsive changes.
Similarly, to minimize the likelihood that we will reissue comments,
please make corresponding changes where applicable throughout your
document. For example, we might comment on one section or example, but our
silence on similar or related disclosure elsewhere does not relieve you of
the need to make appropriate revisions elsewhere as
appropriate.
|
We have
addressed all of the comments contained in the Comment Letter and indicated
herein the location of the related revisions. Further, where
necessary, we have made corresponding changes, when applicable, throughout the
document.
|
3.
|
Please
provide updated disclosure with each amendment. For example, given the
current economic environment the statement at page 39 that "during the
past year, the economic recovery combined with increased commodity prices
has caused an increase in new equity financings in the oil and gas
industry" seems outdated.
|
The
amendment contains updated disclosure throughout including the revisions to the
disclosure referenced above. Further, outdated information has been
removed.
|
4.
|
Please
avoid the use of repetitive disclosure. For example, we note that share
capital is discussed in two different places in your
filing.
|
Repetitive
disclosure such as that pertaining to share capital has been
removed. The disclosure of share capital now only appears in Item
10.A.
Risk Factors, page
8
|
5.
|
Please
eliminate statements that mitigate the risk you present. For example,
rather than stating that there can be no assurance or no guarantee of a
particular outcome revise to state the extent of each risk plainly and
directly.
|
Throughout
the risk factor disclosures we have removed statements that serve to mitigate
the presented risk.

History and Development of
the Company, page 15
|
6.
|
Please
provide all of the information required by Item 4.A.3, including the
legislation under which you operate and the address and telephone number
of your registered office.
|
The
requested information has been added to the disclosure under History and
Development of the Company.
Operating and Financial
Review and Prospects, page 23
Share Capital, page
32
|
7.
|
Please
disclose the number of shares that are issued and fully paid and issued
but not fully paid. See ltem 10.A.1.(b) of Form
20-F.
|
The Share
Capital discussion in Item 10.A has been revised to include the requested
disclosure.
August 31,
2008-2007
|
8.
|
We
note your statement at page 34 that “[f]or the year ended August 31, 2008
revenue decreased compared to revenue in the comparable period in 2007
primarily a result of decreased natural gas sales volumes.” We further
note your statement at page 36 that the decrease in revenue for this
period was due to “a decrease in natural gas sales volumes and decreased
commodity prices received.” Please reconcile. In addition, where two or
more factors contributed to a material change, quantify the impact of each
factor.
|
The
conflicting information has been reconciled. The quantification of
the production volume factor appears in the first paragraph under the
“Production Volume” subheading at the bottom of page 38. The
quantification of the commodity price factor appears in the first paragraph
under the “Commodity Price” subheading on page 39.
November 30,
2008-2007
|
9.
|
We
note your statement that “[t]he decrease in assets for the three months
ended November 30, 2008 was primarily attributed to a decrease which was
partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable.” Please indicate
the factor that led to the decrease in
assets.
|
The
discussion on page 38 has been updated to cover the six month period ended
February 28, 2009 and expanded to provide the requested
disclosure.
3
Depletion, page
36
|
10.
|
We
note that between August 31, 2008 and August 31, 2007 depletion decreased
and that it increased between August 31, 2007 and August 31, 2006. We
further note that both the increase and decrease were attributed to
production declines. Please explain how production declines attributed to
an increase and decrease in depletion,
respectively.
|
The
discussion has been revised. The increase in depletion is now
properly attributed to a reduction in reserves.
Safe Harbor, page
40
|
11.
|
Please
note that the safe harbor provided in Section 27 A of the Securities Act
and Section 21E of the Exchange Act only applies to forward-looking
information provided pursuant to Item 5.E and F of Form 20-F. See Item 5.G
of Form 20-F. Please eliminate the suggestion that the safe harbor applies
to all of Item 5.
|
The
disclosure has been revised to reflect the limitation discussed
above.
Directors and Senior
Management, page 41
|
12.
|
Please
indicate whether Ms. Hall devotes less than 100% of her time to your
business. If so, please also include a risk factor addressing the impact
on your company arising from the fact that she is also involved with other
businesses.
|
The
discussion has been expanded to provide the requested disclosure including the
addition of a related risk factor.

Please
briefly describe the business engaged in by

discussion has been expanded to provide the requested disclosure.

46
|
14.
|
We
note that your audit committee is to be comprised of at least three
directors, but that it only includes two directors. Please advise or
revise.
|
The
discussion has been revised to reflect that the Audit Committee consists of at
least three directors, two of whom are independent and that Sandra Hall is the
third member of the Audit Committee. The amended Audit Committee
Charter proving for same has been filed as Exhibit 4.7.
4
Major Shareholders, page
51
|
15.
|
Please
indicate whether your major shareholders have different voting rights, or
provide an appropriate negative statement. See Item 7.A.1.(c) of Form
20-F.
|
The
discussion has been revised to indicate that the major shareholders have the
same voting rights as the other shareholders.
Material Contracts, page
59
|
16.
|
Please
indicate that you have provided a summary of your material contracts for
the previous two years and, if you have not, provide such
disclosure.
|
We have
revised the disclosure to indicate that the section contains a summary of all of
our material contracts during the past two years.
Taxation, page
60
|
17.
|
Please
eliminate any suggestion that the discussion of tax consequence is a
summary. In addition, it is inappropriate to indicate that holders should
consult their own tax advisors, although you may suggest this course of
action.
|
The
objectionable language has been eliminated throughout.
Dividends and Paying Agents,
page 64
|
18.
|
If
material, please provide the information required by Item 10.F of Form
20-F. In addition, it is inappropriate to indicate that Item 10.F does not
apply to this registration
statement.
|
Section
10.F has been revised to provide the requested information and remove the
inappropriate statement.
Pro Forma Financial
Statements, page F-37
General
|
19.
|
Please
arrange the ordering of your Pro Forma financial statements in a manner
consistent with that of your interim and annual financial statements.
Please also add an introductory paragraph with the information prescribed
under Rule 11-02(b)(2) of Regulation
S-X.
|
The Pro
Forma Statements have been arranged in a manner consistent with that used for
the other financial statements appearing in the registration
statement. The requested introductory paragraph has been added under
Note 1., Basis of Presentation.
5
|
20.
|
We
note that you have presented pro forma balance sheets as of November 30,
2008 and August 31, 2008. Please adhere to the guidance in Rule 11-02(c)(
I) of Regulation S-X by presenting only a pro forma balance sheet as of
the end of the most recent period for which historical financial
statements are included in your
filing.
|
The
November 30, 2008 pro forma financials have been replaced by February 28, 2009
pro formas and the November 30, 2008 financial statements of the Company have
been replaced with February 28, 2009 financial statements of the
Company. The February 28, 2009 balance sheet of the Company reflects
the February 27, 2009 acquisition of 1354166 Alberta Ltd. and as such we have
not provided a February 28, 2009 pro forma balance sheet. Further, we have
deleted the August 31, 2008 pro forma balance sheet.
|
21.
|
We
note that your Pro Forma Balance Sheet includes an adjustment to increase
the basis of your oil and gas interests as a result of the application of
purchase accounting. However, it does not appear as though you have given
effect to the related depletion of this asset in your adjustments to your
Pro Forma Statement of Operations for either the annual or interim
periods. Please explain this inconsistency or include an adjustment for
depletion in both your annual and interim pro forma financial
statements.
|
An
adjustment for depletion has been included in both our annual and interim pro
forma financial statements
|
22.
|
Please
provide pro forma SFAS 69 reserve information covering the acquisition of
1354166 Alberta Ltd., following the guidance IRQ 6 of SAB Topic
2:D.
|
Pro Forma
reserve information respecting 1354166 Alberta Ltd. has been added under Item
4.D beginning on page 22.

We
believe that the changes in the accompanying Amendment and the explanations
contained in this letter will be considered by the Staff to be satisfactory
responses to the comments contained in the Comment Letter. If the
Staff has any questions or comments with respect to the changes made to the
Registration Statement by the Amendment, please contact me at
212-400-6900.
Very
truly yours,
