RE:
DataJungle Software Inc.
Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004 (the “Filing”)
SEC File No. 001-05996
Dear Mr. Wilson,
With reference to the Securities & Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) letter dated June 13, 2005, the following will provide a response to the three (3) comments regarding the consolidated financial statements for DataJungle Software Inc. (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2004.
1. Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, page 33
Comments from SEC:
We note that your audit report was signed by an audit firm based in Ottawa, Canada. Please tell us how you concluded that it is appropriate to have an audit report issued by an auditor licensed outside of the United States. In accordance with Article 2 of Regulation S-X, we believe that the audit report of a registrant (that is not a foreign private issuer) should ordinarily be rendered by an auditor licensed in the United States.
Please tell us (1) where the majority of your revenues are earned, (2) where the majority of your assets are located, (3) where your management and accounting records are located and (4) where the majority of the audit work is conducted.
Response from the Company:
The audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2004 was conducted by KPMG LLP, who is based in Ottawa, Canada, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and published rules and regulations of the SEC.
For the year ended December 31, 2004, the majority (97%) of the Company’s revenues were earned from clients located in the United States. However, the Company’s products are developed in Canada and the sales efforts are directed from Canada with the majority (75%) of the sales force being located

in Canada. In addition, the Company is headquartered and conducts their principal operations in Canada. The majority of the Company’s assets (99.9%) are located in Canada and management of the Company and related accounting records are located at 1 Hines Road, Suite 202, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K2K 3C7. All of the audit work is carried out in Ottawa, Canada and therefore the Company engaged KPMG LLP Ottawa, Canada to perform the audit of the Company’s financial statements.
2. Note 10, Promissory Note Payable to Related Party, page 48
Comments from SEC:
We note you have a note payable to a related party that is convertible into common stock. Provide to us your analysis of any beneficial conversion features that may have existed related to this convertible note and your accounting treatment for any such features. Also, tell us how you considered EITF 98-5 and EITF 00-27 in accounting for the related party notes payable.
Response from the Company:
The amount outstanding under the note payable to related party of $646,395 CAD is convertible into 4,309,302 shares of common stock of the Company based on a conversion price of one common share for each $0.15 CAD of debt converted or at such lower rate paid by any third party dealing at arms length with the Company. This conversion feature was based on a Memorandum of Agreement with the related party dated February 21, 2003 and the Memorandum of Agreement and the debt were entered into prior to the reverse takeover whereby DataJungle became a reporting issuer. An internal analysis prepared at that time established the fair value of the common stock at less than $0.01 USD per share. This internal analysis was prepared using the following methodology:
·
Total future revenue from existing customers was calculated and then discounted for uncertainty and time value. Estimated cost of sales and overheads were deducted from this amount resulting in an estimated value of the Company prior to existing liabilities (“Enterprise Value”). The Enterprise Value was compared to total backlog of revenue indicating that the Enterprise Value was approximately 2.4 to 2.6 times total backlog. This multiple was considered to be reasonable based on market conditions for software companies at the time and the particular situation of the Company.
·
Total liabilities of the Company were deducted from the Enterprise Value resulting in an implied value of the common shares. This amount was divided by the total number of common shares issued resulting in an estimated value per common share. Due to the minimal revenue opportunities for the Company and debt levels, the estimated value per common share was nominal.
At the time the conversion feature was established, there were no cash based common stock transactions providing an indication of what a third party dealing at arms length with the Company would have paid for the common shares.
EITF 98-5 and EITF 00-27 refer to situations whereby an entity has issued convertible debt with a “beneficial conversion feature” such as a non-detachable conversion feature that is in-the-money at the commitment date or a fixed discount to the market price of the common stock at the date of conversion. The note payable to related party was issued with a conversion price that was in excess of the estimated

fair market value of the common stock at the time of issuance. Consequently, the conversion option had no intrinsic value to the related party at the date of issuance and would not be considered a “beneficial conversion feature”. In addition, the conversion price would only decrease after the date of issuance to protect the related party against dilution and would not be at a discount to fair market value determined by an arms length transaction at the time of conversion. Consequently, the ability of the related party to convert at a lower price than the initial conversion price is also not considered a “beneficial conversion feature”.
