File No.  000-28536
 
Dear Mr. Woody:
 
On behalf of New Century Equity Holdings Corp. (“New Century”), I am responding to the Staff’s letter of comment dated June 5, 2008 with respect to the above-referenced filing.  My response to the Staff’s comment is set forth below.  For your convenience, I have repeated the Staff’s comment immediately preceding my response.
 
Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2007
Financial Statements
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Interest, page 28
 
Staff Comment
 
1.
Please tell us how your impairment policy complies with paragraph 17 of SFAS 142.
 
New Century Response
 
As discussed in the Form 10-K, New Century has determined that the revenue interest that it acquired in 2005 meets the indefinite life criteria outlined in SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”).  Accordingly, New Century does not amortize this intangible asset, but instead reviews this asset quarterly for impairment.  In response to the Staff’s comment, the impairment review consists of comparing the fair value of the revenue interest with its carrying amount.  If the carrying amount is greater than the fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value and the adjusted carrying amount becomes the new accounting basis.  New Century believes that its policy adequately addresses impairment referred to in paragraph 17 of SFAS 142.

Sincerely,
 
/s/ John P. Murray
