1. Please refer to prior comment 1. In your prior response, you
state that the purchase option did not meet the definition of an
asset as defined by paragraph 6 of FASB Concept Statement 6.
Please
tell us how you have determined that this purchase option has
failed
to meet the following three characteristics of an asset as
specified
in paragraph 6:
* it embodies a probable future benefit that involves a capacity,
singly or in combination with other assets, to contribute directly
or
indirectly to future net cash inflows,
* a particular entity can obtain the benefit and control others`
access to it,
* the transaction or other event giving rise to the entity`s right
to
or control of the benefit has already occurred.
In your response, please specifically address each characteristic.
2. Please refer to prior comment 1. If you conclude that the
purchase option is an intangible asset, please tell us the useful
life for the intangible asset, the method of amortization, and
management`s intended methodology to test the asset for
impairment.
Please refer to paragraphs 11 to 15 of SFAS 142.
Please respond to these comments within 10 business days or
tell us when you will provide us with a response. Please furnish
a
cover letter with your response indicating your intent to provide
the
requested disclosures in future filings. Please provide us drafts
of
your proposed revisions, where applicable, and any requested
information. Detailed cover letters greatly facilitate our
review.
Please understand that we may have additional comments after
reviewing your responses to our comments.
We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and
adequacy of the disclosure in the filing to be certain that the
filing includes all information required under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and that they have provided all information
investors require for an informed investment decision. Since the
company and its management are in possession of all facts relating
to
a company`s disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy and
adequacy of the disclosures they have made.
You may contact Margaret Fitzgerald at (202) 551-3556 or me
