Re: | IncrediMail
Ltd.
Form 20-F for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2007 File No. 000-51694 |
Dear Mr. Kronforst:
On behalf of IncrediMail Ltd. (the Company), we submit the following response to the letter of comment of the Commission staff (the Staff) dated February 26, 2009 (the Comment Letter). To aid in the Staffs review, we have repeated the Staffs comments in bold and the headings and numbers correspond to the headings and numbers in the Comment Letter.
Item 18. Financial Statements
Consolidated Statements of Operations, page F-5
1. | Your response to prior comment 4 indicates that your advertising revenues are product revenues because they are only generated by the usage of your product. Please further clarify for us why you believe that these revenues should be considered in your determination of product revenue. As part of your response, indicate whether your advertising customers are receiving the Xe and Premium products as part of their advertising purchases. If not, it would appear that you are not selling any products to those customers and such a classification would not be appropriate under Rule 5-03 of Regulation S-X. If advertising customers are also receiving products, tell us why the advertising should be treated any differently that other services such as PCS that are bundled with software products. Note that such PCS is, generally, considered services revenue. |
Response: The Staff comment is fully noted, and the Company wishes to supplementally clarify to the Staff that advertising revenues are generated primarily through the offering of search capabilities to the Companys customers. These search capabilities are powered by a search provider (e.g. Google, InfoSpace, etc.) provided through downloading the Companys products Incredimail Xe or Incredimail Premium. The advertising (search) revenues are generated based on the extent the Companys customers are using the search capabilities provided in the Companys products. The rest of advertising revenues, which currently represents less than 2% of the Companys revenues, is not dependent on the customers usage of our products, rather are fees paid by advertisers to place their advertising on the Incredimail Xe product. Therefore, the Company supplementally wishes to clarify that although the substantial majority of advertising revenues are dependent on its customers usage of the Companys products its advertising customers are not receiving the Companys products as part of their advertising purchases. The Company respectfully submits to the Staff that in future filings it will present two line items for revenues (with comparative numbers) to conform to Rule 5-03 of Regulation S-X and the Staffs comments, as follows: (i) revenues from Advertising and other services and (ii) revenues from products.
We appreciate your time and attention to the Companys responses to the Staffs comments. Should you have any additional questions or concerns, please call me at 972-3-608-7726 or Nahal A. Nellis, Esq. at 972-3-608-7753.
Sincerely, By: /s/ David Schapiro David Schapiro, Esq. |
