Re: Integral Technologies, Inc.
Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004
Filed 10/05/04
File No. 0-28353
Dear Sirs:
I am writing in response to your comment letter dated June 21, 2005. The
responses are numbered to correspond to the numbered comments in your letter.
1. Our CEO and CFO had in fact determined that disclosure controls and
procedures were effective. Our use of the word "believe" was simply used in the
context of the sentence as an expression of our opinion; i.e., that based on our
evaluation, we believe that the procedures are effective. We will revise the
wording under Item 8A in future filings to replace "believe" with "have
determined."
2. Our auditor, Pannell Kerr Forster, of Vancouver, BC, Canada, is registered
as "Other Name Used" on the Smythe Ratcliffe PCAOB registration. Our auditors
have advised us that subsequent to the issuance of the auditor report on the
June 30, 2004 financial statements, their firm, by agreement with the SEC, now
sign audit reports on SEC reporting issuers in the following manner: "Pannell
Kerr Forster (registered with the PCAOB as "Smythe Ratcliffe")". They advised us
that their agreement with the SEC did not require that they reissue prior
opinions with revised signature blocks.
3. Pannell Kerr Forster (a/k/a Smythe Ratcliffe) has been our auditor since
1996. From 1996 until 2000, our only office was in Vancouver. In 2000, our CFO
moved to Bellingham,

Washington and we opened a second office in Bellingham. The Bellingham office is
now considered our headquarters and we maintain our account records in
Bellingham.
The audit work was completed in Vancouver. Because we are a small company
our audit is very simple, and because Bellingham is a short distance from
Vancouver, our CFO is able to simply bring our accounting records to Vancouver
for the auditors.
Pannell Kerr Forster of Vancouver BC Canada performs our quarterly reviews
and they have advised us that John Haslbauer, CPA (a member of the SEC Practice
Section) from Pannell Kerr Forster of New York is their SEC filing reviewer. Our
auditors have advised us that they are the auditors for about 17 companies that
file periodic reports with the SEC.
Due to the history of the auditors with our company, their knowledge of our
company, their proximity to Bellingham, the quality of the services provided,
the cost savings for our company, their experience with public companies, and
their affiliation with Pannell Kerr Forster internationally, it is the opinion
of the Board of Directors that it is in the best interests of our company and
our shareholders to continue to engage Pannell Kerr Forster of Vancouver BC
Canada, as our company's independent auditors.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or require
additional information.
Sincerely,
INTEGRAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
/s/ William A. Ince
William A. Ince, Chief Financial Officer
