Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 Filed September 29, 2008 Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2009 Filed May 15, 2009 File No. 000-50283 Dear Mr. Crain: We have reviewed your response letter dated May 29, 2009 and have the following comments.

Your response should be submitted in electronic form, under the label “corresp” with a copy to the staff. Please respond within ten (10) business days. Mr. Bohn H. Crain, CEO Radiant Logistics, Inc. July 16, 2009 Page 2 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 Financial Statements, page F-1 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, page F-8 Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, page F-9 j) Revenue Recognition and Purchase d Transportation Costs, page F-11 1. We note your response to our prior comme nt number five. Please note that method 2 of EITF 91-9 is not considered an acceptable method of revenue recognition as revenue is recognized in advance of perf ormance and liabilities are recognized before they are incurred. Fu rther, we do not agree that the company has substantially completed all work that is required in connection with the recognition of revenue at the time it tende rs the freight to the underlying asset- based carrier given the fact that it is the primary obligor responsible for providing the service desired by the customer and are responsible for fulfillment, including the acceptability of the service(s) or dered or purchased by the customer and assumes credit risk in which case in the event of non- fulfillment of the transportation services, you woul d bear the risk of loss. In this regard, it does not appear your revenue and expense recogn ition methods are in accordance with GAAP. Please revise your revenue rec ognition footnote in future filings to specifically state that its current met hodology is not in accordance with GAAP; however, if one of the acceptable methods under EITF 91-9 had been applied that the differences would not be material. Tell us which acceptable method you considered in your determination that the recognition of revenue and costs incurred would not be materially differe nt from that of your current methodology. As part of your next response to us, pl ease confirm your understanding that to the extent the differences become material in the future you will be required revise your methodology accordingly. 2. In a related matter, it appears as tho ugh you are estimating costs and using the “accrue in advance” methodology for purchas ed transportation capacity costs. Please note that costs accrued prior to when they are incurred is not in accordance with GAAP. Please explain to us in gr eater your revenue generation process and the timing of when revenue, estimated tr ansportation costs, costs of sales, purchased transportation costs and other related costs are re cognized within your financial statements. We may have further comment upon receipt of your response. Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, page 3 3. We note from your response to prior comme nt 13 that to the extent amounts under the dispute with Mr. Friedman are re solved favorably to the company, the liabilities will be reduced with a co rresponding reduction in goodwill. It is unclear how exactly such a reduction in goodwill will be recorded given that in Mr. Bohn H. Crain, CEO Radiant Logistics, Inc. July 16, 2009 Page 3 your December 31, 2008 10-Q, an impairment charge was taken, reducing the amount of goodwill to zero. Please tell us how you plan to account for the reduction in liabilities, if any, resulting from a favorable outcome of the dispute and the accounting literature which supports your accounti ng treatment. Further, as previously requested, revise your disclo sure in future filings to disclose the nature of the accrual amount. Your revised disclosure should be similar in detail as provided in your response to us. Forms 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, page 4 4. Reference is made to line item “Goodwill impairment” of $11.4 million presented on the face of your statements of operat ions during the quarter ended December 31, 2008. Please note that goodwill impairmen t losses shall be presented as a separate line item in the income statem ent before the subtotal income from continuing operations. In this regard, pl ease revise your filing to include such losses as part of operating expenses rather than other income (expense). Further, in light of the significance of the goodwill impairment charge, we believe you should amend your filings. Refer to the guidance in paragraph 43 of SFAS No. 142. Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, page 6 Supplemental disclosure of non-cash invest ing and financing ac tivities, page 7 5. We note the recognition of a goodwill im pairment recovery of $190,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009. Please note that paragraph 20 of SFAS No. 141 states that “After a goodwill impair ment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of goodwill shall be its new accounting basis. Subsequent reversal of a previously recognized goodwill impairment loss is prohibited once the measurement of that loss is complete d.” In this regar d, we believe your treatment does not comply with the guidance prescribed above. Please advise or alternatively, you may revise your financial statements accordingly. ******** Mr. Bohn H. Crain, CEO Radiant Logistics, Inc.
