Form 10-KSB/A for Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 2005 Filed December 23, 2005 File No. 0-27075 Dear Mr. Spirgel: This letter has been prepared in order to respond to your comments in a letter dated February 2, 2006. Liquidity and Capital Resources, Page 14 Comment 1: Disclose the fact that a large percentage of your accounts receivable balance is due from a small amount of customers and the impact late payment or non-payment from those customers could have on your liquidity. Response: We will disclose this in future filings. The following is an example of the wording that will be used which will include a going concern disclosure Accounts receivable with three customers represent approximately 89% (2005 - two customers accounted for 78%) of the balance of accounts receivable as at January 31, 2005. While management recognizes the concentration risks, it is the opinion of management that these accounts do not represent a significant credit risk as all of the customers are large corporations that have been in business for several years and never defaulted on any payments to the company. Management carefully and regularly reviews billings and collections from these companies as well as continues to monitor and assess credit risk by looking at the publicly available financial information of these customers. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and to realize the carrying value of its assets and discharge its liabilities when due is dependent on the successful completion of the actions taken or planned, some of which are described above, which management believes will mitigate the adverse conditions and events which raise substantial doubt about the validity of the going concern assumption used in preparing these financial statements. There is no certainty that these and other strategies will be sufficient to permit the Company to continue to meet its obligations in the normal course of business. Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, page F-2 Comment 2: We note that your audit report was signed by an audit firm based in California. We also note that you conduct your operations in Canada, your revenues are generated in Canada and all of your assets are located in Canada. Please tell us where the majority of audit work was conducted and how you concluded that it is appropriate to have and audit report issued by an auditor licensed in California. Response: The majority of fieldwork for the audit was conducted at our offices in Canada. As we had entered into a merger agreement with NeoMedia Technologies Inc., we approached the same public accounting firm that NeoMedia Technologies Inc. is using and engaged them to perform our audits. Comment 3: In future filings, revise your presentation to comply with SAB 11:B Response: We will comply with SAB 11:B in future filings by revising the Cost of revenue caption to include the following: "(exclusive of depreciation shown separately below)". Comment 4: Tell us the current status of the merger agreement with NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. and your consideration of Item 3-10(c) of Regulation S-B. Response: The Form S-4 document filed by NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. was declared effective on February 6, 2006 and we have since mailed the information to the shareholders of BSD Software, Inc. As the Company is being acquired under the transaction, we believe item 3-10 of Regulation S-B is not applicable. In its Form S-4 filing NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. has included proforma financial information for BSD Software, Inc. Comment 5: We note you are net income positive for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005. Tell us, citing the appropriate accounting literature, why you are not calculating and recording minority interest. Response: The losses of the subsidiary were substantial in the periods following the acquisition of the subsidiary by the Company and as it was not certain that the Company would be able to generate enough profits to offset these losses, it was decided that the amount would be disclosed as a note rather than as an asset on the balance sheet in accordance with ARB 51. The Company has tracked these losses and disclosed with each filing that cumulative losses were still outstanding against the minority interest. We quote paragraph 15 of ARB 51 which states, "In the unusual case in which losses applicable to the minority interest in the subsidiary exceed the minority interest in the equity capital of the subsidiary, such excess and any further losses applicable to the minority interest should be charged against the majority interest, as there is no obligation of the minority interest to make good such losses. However, if future earnings do materialize, the majority interest should be credited to the extent of such losses previously absorbed." Comment 6: We note your Stock Bonus Plan was adopted and approved in July 2005. Please tell us why the plan document has not been filed as an exhibit with your form 10-KSB or with a subsequent filing. Response: Not filing the document was an oversight and will be included with our next filing on Form 10-QSB for January 31, 2006. Comment 7: Tell us why management does not consider the three customers that represent 90% of your accounts receivable balance as a significant credit risk. Also tell us how you have determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary. Response: The 3 customers in question are large telephone companies. These companies are strictly regulated by government agencies, and therefore do not pose a significant credit risk. No allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary as all accounts receivable have historically been settled within 90 days. We carefully and regularly review billings and collections from these companies as well as continue to monitor and assess credit risk by looking at the publicly available financial information of these customers. Comment 8: We note your omission of paragraph 4(b) and related footnote on your Officer's Certificate Pursuant to Section 302. In accordance with release No. 33-8238, the compliance period was extended for small business issuers until the first fiscal year ending on or after July 15, 2005. Since your fiscal year is ended July 31, 2005, please amend your filing to include the appropriate language under paragraph 4(b). Response: We amended our filing of the 10-KSB to include paragraph 4(b). The filing was made on February 17, 2006 Yours sincerely, /s/ Guy Fietz Guy Fietz President, Chief Executive Officer & Director -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
