RE:
MacroSolve, Inc.
Amendment No. 2 to Form S-1/A
Filed April 24, 2008
File number 333-150332
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
The following responses address the comments of the SEC staff (the “Staff”) as set forth in its letter dated May 21, 2008 (the “Comment Letter”) relating to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) of MacroSolve, Inc. (“MacroSolve” or the "Company").  On behalf of the Company, we respond as set forth below.
 
The numbers of the responses in this letter correspond to the numbers of the Staff’s comments as set forth in the Comment Letter.
 
General
 
  1.
On page 6 you indicate that on April 14, 2008, a stock dividend of 19 shares for each share outstanding on March 31, 2008, was issued. This recapitalization of your common stock has substantially the same effect as a 20-for-one share stock split. However, it does not appear that you have adjusted the share amounts for periods prior to April 14, 2008, to show the retroactive effect of the stock dividend. In the absence of such adjustments, the share amounts in the filing do not appear to provide an informative presentation that new investors will be able to readily assess in terms of the current capital structure. Please consider a presentation that will provide potential investors with share information that facilitates comparisons of transactions and amounts.
 
Response to No. 1
 
The Company has revised its capitalization to illustrate the adjustment to the share amounts for periods prior to April 14, 2008, to show the retroactive effect of the stock dividend throughout its Amendment No. 2 to its Registration Statement on Form S-1/A in accordance with the Commission’s comment.
 
Prospectus Summary, page 5
 
  2.
Please revise the first paragraph under the subheading “Business” on page 5 to provide a concise and readily understandable explanation of the products and services you provide. Using language that will be readily understood by someone who is not familiar with your industry or company, briefly explain the needs of your customers, products and services you provide and how the products and services you provide address the customer needs. Avoid reliance on specialized vocabulary such as the terms “Process Enabling” and ‘Product Enabling” and instead describe those activities in a concise and concrete fashion.

Response to No. 2

We note your disclosure on page 6 which indicates that you issued a stock dividend of 19 shares for each share of common stock.

Please clarify for us and revise your disclosures accordingly.

Response to No. 3
 
The Company has revised its Prospectus Summary on Page 6 and its disclosure on pages 24 and 28 to clarify the 19 share common stock dividend issued by the Company in its Amendment No. 2 to its Registration Statement on Form S-1/A in accordance with the Commission’s comment.
 
  4.
We note that stock splits and stock dividends affected after the balance sheet date typically require retrospective presentation. Please tell us how you considered presenting share information in this manner. At a minimum, please revise the Selected Financial Data table on page 14 to provide pro forma per share information to reflect the 19 for 1 forward stock split. You should also provide disclosure which indicates that the pro forma presentation reflects the impact of the stock split.
 
Response to No. 4

Management’s Discussion and Analysis, page 15
 
Plan of Operation and Financing Needs, page 15.
 
  5.
In the first sentence under this heading, please clarify the minimum period of time for which currently available resources will be sufficient to finance planned operations. If this period is at least twelve months from the desired effective date, state this. In your response letter provide a detailed explanation of the basis for your conclusion in this respect. We note that during 2007 you used approximately $60,000 of cash per month of operations and that cash on hand at year end was $26,000. If you believe the $115,000 of equity capital raised in 2007, the $950,000 of convertible note proceeds, coupled with cash generated in anticipated future operations will provide adequate capital for the minimum period of twelve months, please so indicate. Alternatively, if you believe you will need additional capital to fund planned operations for portions of the next twelve months, express the anticipated capital needs in quantitative terms. Although you identify a capital need of $10 million over the next three years, it is unclear whether any portion of that amount is needed to fund planned operations during the next twelve months.
