Amendment
No. 3 to Registration Statement on Form F-1
Filed
November 18, 2005
File
No. 333-129804
Dear
Mr.
Spirgel:
Scopus
Video Networks Ltd. (“Scopus” or the “Company”) has filed the above referenced
Amendment No. 3 to its Registration Statement on Form F-1
(the “F-1/A”) to (a) revise the bona fide estimate of the initial public
offering price to between $7.00 and $9.00 per share and (b) include the
undertakings of Items 512(a)(5)-(6) of Regulation S-K which became effective
on
December 1, 2005. We have enclosed a marked copy of the amendment.
On
behalf of the Company, we are providing further clarification with respect
to
the Company’s belief that a recirculation of the Preliminary Prospectus dated as
of November 18, 2005 (the “Prospectus”) will not be required in connection the
F-1/A.
The
F-1/A was filed in order to reflect the reduced the anticipated offering
price
range for the Ordinary Shares being offered by the Company from $10 to $12
per
share as set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus to $7 to $9 per share as
set
forth in the F-1/A. Based on the Company's evaluation of the effect of the
decreased net proceeds to the Company due to the lower anticipated offering
price, the Company believes that such decrease will not materially affect
its
business or operations as disclosed in the Preliminary Prospectus. As indicated
under “Use of Proceeds”, only $6-10 million of the proceeds are being allocated
for specific purposes and the balance will be added to working capital. The
Company has been cash flow positive in each of the past two years and expects
to
be cash flow positive, without giving effect to the receipt of the proceeds
from
this offering, during 2005. Accordingly, the reduction in the proceeds has
not
resulted in the Company changing its expectations as to the adequacy of its
capital resources, as set forth under “Liquidity and capital resources.” We have
been advised by the Representatives of the Underwriters that in their opinion
the reduction in the anticipated offering price range will not be material
to an
investment decision by prospective purchasers of the Ordinary Shares.
Nonetheless, we have confirmed from the underwriters for the offering that
they
will, prior to confirming any sales of the Ordinary Shares contact all
prospective investors to whom it is anticipated that sales of the Ordinary
Shares will be confirmed, notify such investors of the reduced offering range
and ask such investors to reconfirm their intent to invest in the
offering.
The
Company intends to verbally request acceleration of the effective time of
the
above-referenced Registration Statement so that it may become effective at
6:00
p.m., Eastern Time, today, or as soon as possible thereafter. In connection
with
the foregoing, please contact us if we can provide any further information
or
clarification.
Very
truly yours,
/s/
