Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, page 30

3. We reviewed your response and the analysis provided in the appendix to comment 11 in our letter dated August 3, 2010. It appears that you reported the profit on sales-type leases as a reduction of cash flows fr om investing activities rather than as a reduction to cash flows from operating activit ies in the adjustments to reconcile net income (loss) to net cash provided by operati ng activities. It al so appears that you netted cash outflows for construction in pr ogress against proceeds from sales-type leases in cash flows from i nvesting activities, which resu lted in a net cash outflow rather than a cash inflow from sales-type leases. Please review your classification of cash flows for these items and tell us whether we have interpreted your analysis correctly. If our understa nding is correct, tell us how you would revise your presentation to comply with the guid ance in ASC 230. If our understanding is incorrect, tell us how you classified the pr ofit from sales-type leases and why cash flows from your gross investment in sales-t ype leases resulted in a net cash outflow for each year presented.
