Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2004

Financial Statements, page 22

Inventories, page 29

1. Please refer to prior comments 1(a) and (c). Please provide us with a revised rollforward of your inventory reserve account for fiscal 2002, 2003, and 2004. The revised schedule should reflect the following amounts: balance at beginning of period, amounts charged/debited to cost of sales to increase the inventory reserve, amounts deducted from the reserve account for inventory that was sold, amounts deducted from the reserve for inventory that was scrapped, amounts credited to cost of sales to reduce the inventory reserve, other charges/debits, other credits, and the balance at the end of the period. Provide footnotes to explain the nature of each significant amount. 2. Please refer to prior comments 1(a) and (c). Tell us why the write-off of work-in-process inventory of $250,300 in 2004 and $1.1 million in 2003 is reflected in your inventory rollforward schedule on page 43 as deductions. Tell us the nature of these write-offs, the status of the inventory, and whether or not the inventory had been previously reserved. Explain how you account for your inventory reserves. Tell us why the amount of deductions shown in the schedule on page 43 impacts your costs of sales and gross profit for 2004 and 2003. 3. Please refer to prior comment 1(a) and (d). Please tell us the debits and credits recorded in fiscal 2004, 2003, and 2002 to directly write-off inventory. Explain how you derived an actual reserve of $1,043,200 in fiscal 2003 per your response and how that amount reconciles with your inventory reserve rollforward on page 43. Explain why the write-off of inventory results in a decrease to the amount of your inventory reserve charged to cost of sales.
