Dear Mr. Chardon:
We have reviewed the above-referenced filings and have the following comment.
The comment below is in addition to two comments issued orally to your counsel on
December 10, 2008. Where indicated below and as directed to counsel previously, we
think you should revise your document in response to these comments.
Form 8-K/A filed on November 25, 2008
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits
(a) Financial statements of the business acquired
1. Your response to comment 7 from our le tter dated October 28, 2008 stated that you
filed a Form 8-K/A on November 25, 2008 to provide the pages from the Kintera
annual report on Form 10-K that you incor porated by reference as exhibits to the
Form 8-K/A filed on September 19, 2008. We note that our comment specifically
referenced the historical financials of Kintera for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006; however, our last sentence concludes by asking you to provide the pages that you incorporated by reference as exhibits to the Form 8-K/A filed on
September 19, 2008. In the Form 8-K, under Item 9.01(a) you incorporated by reference both the two most recent fiscal ye ar end historical fina ncials, from Kintera’s
annual report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2007, and also the most recent interim period financials, from Kintera’s quarterly report on Form 10-
Q for the Fiscal Period Ended March 31, 2008. However, in the Form 8-K/A filed on November 25, 2008 only the pages of the fiscal year end financials incorporated from
Marc E. Chardon
