Re: MachineTalker, Inc. -Registration Statement on Form SB-2
Filed on August 1, 2005, as Amended on September 27, 2005
and October 11, 2005 - File Number 333-127080
----------------------------------------------------------
Dear Mr. Spirgel:
Enclosed are three redlined copies and three clean copies of the above
referenced Amendment to the Registration Statement on Form SB-2. We have the
following responses to your comments, dated October 5, 2005, with respect to
Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 filed by
MachineTalker, Inc. (the "Company") on September 27, 2005:
1. We have added footnote No. 6 on page I-20 which identifies Bruce Pennell
as the natural person who has voting or investment control over BRP Enterprises.
2. We have revised the discussion of the results of operations for the six
months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004 and
fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2003 on pages I-46 to I-47 to quantify the impact of each factor
contributing to significant increases or decreases in particular line items when
multiple factors are involved.
3. The amounts of research and development should not be attributed to the
cost of revenue because the majority of the activities were incurred on pure and
applied research. Any amounts attributable to the KBR or NASA contracts would be
insignificant for financial statement presentation.
4. We have added the word "equipment" between "significant" and "capital
expenditures" on page I-48. The Company intended its statement that it "do[es]
not anticipate, however, any significant capital expenditures" to refer to
equipment expenditures. Consistent with our disclosure on page I-6 that the
Company "intend[s] to invest heavily in completing development of and enhancing

[its] smart security network technology," the Company does expect to make
capital expenditures in marketing and research and development. We have added
language on page I-48 to address these planned expenditures.
5. We have deleted the statement in Note 2 of the Notes to the Financial
Statements for December 31, 2004 and 2003 that the Company is "in the process of
developing and implementing accrual based revenue recognition policies" and
updated the Company's revenue recognition policy accordingly.
6. The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed, and at the
time of shipment of products, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists,
title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or
determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.
Accordingly, the Company recognized revenue for milestones billed during the
year ended December 31, 2004 and in the second quarter of 2005 with respect to
KBR as follows: (A) In December 2004, deliverable one for project initiation,
team assignment, and statement of work was delivered and billed at $60,000, at
which time the Company recognized the revenue. The Company received payment for
the same in February 2005. (B) In December 2004, deliverable two for the project
specification was delivered and billed at $60,000, at which time the Company
recognized the revenue. The Company received payment for the same in February
2005. (C) In December 2004, deliverable three for the sensor/detector evaluation
was completed and billed at $60,000, at which time the Company recognized the
revenue. The Company received payment for the same in February 2005. (D) In
April 2005, deliverable four for the user's guide was completed and billed at
$60,000, at which time the Company recognized the revenue. The Company received
payment for the same in May 2005. (E) In June 2005, deliverable five for project
completion was billed at $60,000, at which time the Company recognized the
revenue. The Company received payment for the same in September 2005. There are
no remaining performance obligations with respect to KBR.
The Company recognized revenue for milestones billed during the year
ended December 31, 2004 and in the first quarter of 2005 with respect to NASA as
follows: (A) In August 2004, deliverable one for completion of the development
of the application software and display software for the ground station was
billed at $25,000, and we received payment for the same, at which time the
Company recognized the revenue. (B) In March 2005, deliverable two for the units
shipped was billed at $15,000, at which time the Company recognized revenue. The
Company received payment for the same in August 2005. There is a third
deliverable which will be billed in October 2005, at which point there are no
remaining performance obligations with respect to NASA.
7. We considered paragraphs 2, 7 and 8 of SOP 97-2 and determined that the
software is incidental to the product as a whole and, although necessary for the
product to function, is not a significant factor in the purchasing decision of
the customer. The Company recognizes product revenue when the Company has an
executed license agreement with the customer, the software product has been
delivered, the amount of the fees to be paid by the customer is fixed and

determinable, and collection of these fees is deemed probable. The Company
considers fees related to arrangements with payment terms extending beyond
twelve months not to be fixed or determinable. If the fee is not fixed or
determinable, revenue is recognized as the payments become due from the
customer. If collectibility is not considered probable, revenue is recognized
when the fee is collected. The revenue allocable to the software license is
recognized when the product revenue criteria are met.
8. Please see our response to Comment No. 7.
9. Original equipment manufacturers do not presently have a right to return
unsold products to the Company. Accordingly, the Company will recognize revenue
from the sale of products to original equipment manufacturers upon shipment,
provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title, and risk of loss have
passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the
related receivable is reasonably assured. We have revised the subsection
entitled "Revenue Recognition" on page I-45 to include our policy regarding the
return of products by original equipment manufactures.
10. We have corrected our opinion letter to opine with respect to the
issuance of the shares under Delaware law.
Yours very truly,
\s\ Mark J. Richardson, Esq.
