Dear Mr. Levin:
We reviewed the filings and have the comments below.
S-3/A1
Exhibit 23
1. Obtain and file in an amendment to the registration statement
updated consents from Media Sciences` independent public
accounting
firms.
10-KSB
Note 10. Warranty Expenses
2. Refer to prior comment 24. In future filings, present
separately
warrant expenses incurred and insurance settlements in the
warranty
reserve rollforward. In future filings, revise MD&A to disclose
separately and discuss warranty expenses related to the product
recall and other warranty expenses.
Closing
File an amendment to the S-3 in response to the comments. To
expedite our review, you may wish to provide us three marked
courtesy
copies of the amendment. Include with the filing any supplemental
information requested and a cover letter tagged as correspondence
that keys the responses to the comments. If you think that
compliance with any of the comments is
inappropriate, provide the basis in the letter. We may have
additional comments after review of the amendment, the responses
to
the comments, and any supplemental information.
We urge all persons responsible for the registration
statement`s
accuracy and adequacy to make certain that all information
required
under the Securities Act of 1933 is included. Since Media
Sciences
and its management are in possession of all facts relating to the
disclosure in the registration statement, they are responsible for
the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosures that they have made.
If Media Sciences requests acceleration of the registration
statement`s effectiveness, Media Sciences should furnish a letter
at
the time of the request acknowledging that:
* Should the Commission or the staff acting by delegated authority
declare the registration statement effective, it does not
foreclose
the Commission from taking any action on the filing.
* The action of the Commission or the staff acting by delegated
authority in declaring the registration statement effective does
not
relieve Media Sciences from its full responsibility for the
adequacy
and accuracy of the registration statement`s disclosures.
* Media Sciences may not assert our comments and the declaration
of
the registration statement`s effectiveness as a defense in any
proceedings initiated by the Commission or any person under the
United States` federal securities laws.
The Commission`s Division of Enforcement has access to all
information that you provide us in our review of the registration
statement or in response to our comments on the registration
statement.
We will consider a written request for acceleration of the
registration statement`s effectiveness under Rule 461 of
Regulation C
under the Securities Act as confirmation that those requesting
acceleration are aware of their responsibilities under the
Securities
Act and the Exchange Act as they relate to the proposed public
offering of the securities specified in the registration
statement.
We will act on the request and by delegated authority grant
acceleration of the registration statement`s effectiveness.
We direct your attention to Rules 460 and 461 of Regulation C
under the Securities Act on requesting acceleration of a
registration
statement`s effectiveness. Allow adequate time after the filing
of
any amendment for further review before submitting a request for
acceleration. Provide this request at least two business days
before
the requested effective date.
You may direct questions on accounting comments to Bret A.
Johnson, Staff Accountant, at (202) 824-5478 or Anne M. McConnell,
Senior Staff Accountant, at (202) 942-1795. You may direct
questions
on other comments and disclosure issues to Edward M. Kelly, Senior
Counsel, at (202) 942-1978 or me at (202) 942-1950.
Very truly yours,
Pamela A. Long
