Hult Staff Accountant Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Ingen Technologies, Inc. Your letter of February 22, 2007 Your File No. 0-28704 Dear Mr. Hult, Thank you for your letter of February 22, 2007 providing comments concerning a Form 8-K filed by Ingen Technologies, Inc. on February 21, 2007. We have prepared and filed a Form 8-K/A. This filing includes, as exhibits thereto, a letter from the former auditing firm, Spector & Wong, LLP, dated February 19, 2006 (resignation letter), the engagement letter from our new auditors, Child, Van Wagoner & Bradshaw, PLLC, dated February 20, 2006, and a letter dated February 26, 2007, from our former auditing firm (per Item 304(a)(3)), agreeing with the content of the Form 8-K/A. Please consider the following responses to your comments: 1. PLEASE AMEND THE REPORT TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE INFORMATION REQUIRED BY ITEM 304 OF REGULATION S-B. INCLUDE A LETTER FROM THE FORMER ACCOUNTANTS ADDRESSING THE REVISED DISCLOSURES. SEE ITEM 304(A)(3) OF REGULATION S-B. FILE THE AMENDMENT UNDER COVER OF FORM 8-K/A AND INCLUDE THE ITEM 4 DESIGNATION, INCLUDING THE LETTER FROM THE FORMER ACCOUNTANT FILED AS AN EXHIBIT 16. 1 Response: We have or will file (within the allotted time) the Form 8-K/A, including the letter from our former accountant, Spector & Wong, LLP. We believe the filing contains all required information under Item 304 of Regulation S-B. 2. STATE WHETHER THE FORMER ACCOUNTANT RESIGNED, DECLINED TO STAND FOR REELECTION OR WAS DISMISSED, AND THE DATE. SEE ITEM 304(A)(L)(I) OF REGULATION S-B. THE DISCLOSURE SHOULD ALSO INDICATE WHETHER THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDED OR APPROVED THE DECISION TO CHANGE ACCOUNTANTS. SEE ITEM 304(A)(L)(III) OF REGULATION S-B. Response: The former accountant resigned on February 19, 2007. The company's Board of Directors accepted the resignation (confirming management's oral acceptance) in its annual meeting held on February 24, 2007. A copy of that resolution is included herewith. 3. IN ADDITION, ITEM 304(A)(L)(II) OF REGULATION S-B REQUIRES A STATEMENT WHETHER THE ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR EITHER OF THE PAST TWO YEARS CONTAINED AN ADVERSE OPINION OR A DISCLAIMER OF OPINION OR WAS QUALIFIED OR MODIFIED AS TO UNCERTAINTY, AUDIT SCOPE OR ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES; AND A DESCRIPTION OF THE NATURE OF EACH SUCH ADVERSE OPINION, DISCLAIMER OF OPINION, MODIFICATION OR QUALIFICATION. THIS WOULD INCLUDE DISCLOSURE OF UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN IN THE ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT. Response: Except for a disclosure of uncertainty regarding the ability to continue as a going concern, the accountant did not express an adverse opinion, disclaimer of opinion, or that an opinion was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The going concern note to the relevant financial statements was a follows: The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. In the near term, the Company expects operating costs to continue to exceed funds generated from operations. As a result, the Company expects to continue to incur operating losses and may not have sufficient funds to grow its business in the future. The Company can give no assurance that it will achieve profitability or be capable of sustaining profitable operations. As a result, operations in the near future are expected to continue to use working capital. To successfully grow the individual segments of the business, the Company must decrease its cash burn rate, improve its cash position and the revenue base of each segment, and succeed in its ability to raise additional capital through a combination of primarily public or private equity offering or strategic alliances. The Company also depends on certain contractors, and its sole employee, the CEO, and the loss of any of those contractors or the employee, may harm the Company's business. 2 4. THE DISCLOSURE SHOULD ALSO STATE WHETHER DURING THE REGISTRANT'S TWO MOST RECENT FISCAL YEARS AND ANY SUBSEQUENT INTERIM PERIOD THROUGH THE DATE OF RESIGNATION, DECLINATION OR DISMISSAL THERE WERE ANY DISAGREEMENTS WITH THE FORMER ACCOUNTANT ON ANY MATTER OF ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES OR PRACTICES, FINANCIAL STATEMENT DISCLOSURE, OR AUDITING SCOPE OR PROCEDURE, WHICH DISAGREEMENT(S), IF NOT RESOLVED TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE FORMER ACCOUNTANT, WOULD HAVE CAUSED IT TO MAKE REFERENCE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE DISAGREEMENT(S) IN CONNECTION WITH ITS REPORTS. IN THE EVENT OF DISAGREEMENT(S) AND/OR REPORTABLE EVENT(S), PROVIDE THE SPECIFIC DISCLOSURES REQUIRED BY ITEM 304(A)(1)(IV) OF REGULATION S-B. Response: There were no disagreements with the former accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure during the stated time period. _________________________________________________________ Please contact me directly should you have any questions or further concerns regarding this filing.
