Re: Diversified Product Inspections, Inc. (the "Company")
Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004
File No. 000-25429
Dear Mr. Rosenberg:
Reference is made to your comment letter, dated July 7, 2005 to the
Company relating to the above-captioned filings (the "Comment Letter"). Set
forth below are the Company's responses to the comments contained in the Comment
Letter.
Prior to the conversion of the convertible debt during 2004, we disclosed
in the notes to our financial statements in our 10-KSB filings for both the year
ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003 that "the debentures may be
converted at any time by the Investor..." and that "In the event all or any
portion of the debentures are outstanding at the end of three years from the
date of issuance, the debentures are subject to automatic conversion...". No
such disclosure was deemed necessary in the notes to our financial statements in
our December 31, 2004 10-KSB as the debentures had previously been converted
(and the conversion was disclosed).
The comment regarding paragraph 19 of EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No.
98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments, would not be applicable to our
convertible debt because it did not have a "stated redemption date". Paragraph
20 of EITF states that "For convertible instruments that do not have a stated
redemption date.......the Task Force decided to retain the current guidance in
Issue 98-5". Per Case 5 of EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with
Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, if
"the security is immediately convertible, the intrinsic value of the beneficial
conversion feature would be charged to interest expense at issuance". In regards
to our convertible debt, the security was immediately convertible and the
intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature was thus charged to
interest expense at issuance in 2002. This was disclosed in the notes to our
financial statements in our 10-KSB filings for both the year ended December 31,
2002 and December 31, 2003 which stated "as a result of the conversion
rate......which allow for the conversion at a price less than the stock price at
the date of funding......the Company recognized interest expense and increased
additional paid-in capital.......at the date of funding." Paragraph 21 of EITF
00-27 is not applicable to our situation as we had no unamortized discount
related to the beneficial conversion feature as EITF 98-5 required us to expense
the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature at issuance in 2002.
<PAGE>
In accordance with your request, we represent as follows:
(a) the Company understands that it is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy
of the disclosure in its filings;
(b) the Company understands that staff comments or changes to disclosure in
response to staff comments do not foreclose the SEC from taking any action with
respect to the filing; and
(c) the Company will not assert staff comments as a defense proceeding initiated
by the SEC or any other person under the federal securities laws of the United
States.
Very truly yours,
DIVERSIFIED PRODUCT INSPECTIONS, INC.
