1. We have reviewed your response to co mment two in our letter dated May 29,
2007. Please show us exactly how you computed share-based compensation expense for each of the first three quarters of fiscal 2007 as it remains unclear how your computation complies with SFAS 123R. In particular, it appears you

have only recorded compensation expense to the extent of the immediate grant
date vesting of each of the option awards whereas we would expect you to record additional expense associated with the c ontinued vesting of these awards during
the periods. Moreover, it remains unclear how you considered expected
forfeitures in computing share-based comp ensation costs. Please advise. Finally,
as previously requested, please tell us a nd disclose the requisite service periods
and vesting terms of the stock option aw ards. In filing your amended Forms 10-Q
