Re: OmniComm Systems, Inc.

Form 10-KSB for the Year Ended December 31, 2004

File No. 0-25203

 

Dear Mr. Gordon:

 

I am in receipt of your correspondence dated May 17, 2005 regarding the above captioned Form 10-KSB. Please find below our response to the comments included in that correspondence.

 

Response

 

Form 10-KSB for the Year Ended December 31, 2004

 

Financial Statements

 

Consolidated Statements of Operations

 

1. We note that Interest Expense, net on the Statement of Operations was $938,639 in 2003 while Interest Expense, net was $138,757 per Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Also, the sum of total other expenses per the Statement of Operations for 2003 does not equal the sum of the individual components. Please advise and tell us the reasons for the significant reduction in interest expense, net from 2004 to 2003. In future filings revise to present interest income and interest expense separately.

 

Presented below is a Consolidated Statement of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2003 showing the reported and correct results of operations for the captioned period. The company inadvertently and incorrectly reported the results of operations for the year ended December 31 2002 for all expense categories except for Depreciation Expense when reporting the December 31, 2003 Consolidated Statements of Operations on its Form 10-KSB for the Year Ended December 31, 2004. The Total Other Expenses of $2,484,061 was reported correctly.


U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

June 2, 2005

 

As discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis Interest Expense increased from $138,757 for the Year Ended December 31, 2003 to $287,599 during the Year Ended December 31, 2004. A portion of the increase, $76,800, is attributable to a beneficial conversion that was provided to certain holders of Convertible Notes that the Company issued in fiscal 1998. This beneficial conversion lowered the conversion price into common stock of the Company from $1.25 per share to $0.25 per share. Interest Expense was imputed on the conversion and recorded during the Year Ended December 31, 2004.

 

Interest Income was $888 and $37 for the Year Ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003. Management considered these amounts immaterial to the overall financial statement presentation and therefore netted interest expense and interest income for the periods presented. The Company will show interest expense and interest income on a gross basis for all future filings.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 7: Notes Payable

 

2. We note the existence of notes payable with origination dates in fiscal year 2004 totaling $2,103,619. Please tell us how this relates to the cash from financing activities on the Statement of Cash Flows disclosing proceeds from notes payable of $1,024,099. Please tell us why the amounts differ.

 

During the Year Ended December 31, 2004 the Company amended and restated notes payable with principal value of $1,079,520 by extending their maturity dates. Accordingly, these amounts did not affect cash and were therefore not included on Statements of Cash Flows for the Year Ended December 31, 2004 disclosing the Proceeds from Notes Payable

 

The Company proposes that more complete disclosure would be to include the principal amount of the amended notes payable within the Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Information section of its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Presented below is a Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the Year Ended December 31, 2004 showing the reported and correct results of Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information for the captioned period.
