Re: Futronix Systems Corp.: Withdrawal of Registration Statement on
Form S-1 (No. 333-11439)
Dear Mr. Vicencio:
As counsel to Futronix Systems Corp. (the "Company"), and in accordance with
the provisions of Rule 477 of Regulation C under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, we hereby request on behalf of the Company withdrawal of the
above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the "Registration
Statement"). The Company did not sell any securities under the proposed
offering.
The Company was formed as a Delaware corporation in connection with the merger
(the "Merger") of Wire & Cable Specialties Corporation, a Georgia corporation
("Wire & Cable"), and Futronix Corporation, a Texas corporation ("Futronix"),
with and into the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary. The offering of the
Company's common stock pursuant to the Registration Statement was postponed
after Kent Electronics Corporation, a Texas corporation ("Kent"), expressed an
interest in a merger with Wire & Cable and Futronix. On January 17, 1997, a
merger (the "Kent Merger") of Wire and Cable and Futronix with and into
Futronix Acquisition Company, a Texas corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Kent, was consummated pursuant to a Reorganization Agreement dated as of
September 25, 1996 among the parties. Kent filed a Registration Statement on
Form S-4 (No. 333-13701) in connection with the Kent Merger.
