Re: Interactive Television Networks, Inc. (the "Company")
File No. 000-50122
Dear Mr. Spirgel:
By letter dated September 27, 2005 (received by the Company on October 3,
2005), the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Staff")
provided this Company, Interactive Television Networks, Inc., with comments to
this Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the period ended June 30,
2005. This letter contains our responses to the Staff's comments. The numbers of
the responses and the headings set forth below correspond to the numbered
comments and headings in the September 27, 2005 letter from the Staff.
Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2005
Consolidated Statements of Operations, page 4
1. As stated in note 4 to the Form 10-QSB, the Company has capitalized certain
set-top boxes which were provided to a limited number of initial subscribers
free of charge. The costs of such boxes were absorbed by the Company. Said boxes
are being depreciated over their useful lives and such depreciation is included
in cost of goods sold. Future filings will state that such depreciation is
included in cost of goods sold.
Hardware Revenues, page 7
2. Revenue is recognized upon the shipment of set-top boxes in accordance with
GAAP since the customer is paying for shipment and the risk of loss transfers to
the customer at the time of shipment.
3. In regards to EITF 00-21, the set-top box and the monthly service revenues
are considered to be multiple deliverables as 1) the delivered item, the set-top
box, has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis, since it could be resold
to a third party; 2) there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value
of the undelivered item and the monthly subscription is the same if the customer
purchases a set-top box or is loaned a set-top box; and 3) there is no general
right of return. Accordingly, the set-top box and the monthly subscription are
considered separate accounting units and revenue is recognized accordingly, as
stated in Note 2 to the 10-QSB

laws of the United States.
