Dear Mr. Patel:

We have reviewed your filings and have the following comments. We have limited our review to matters related to the issues raised in our comments. Where indicated, we think you should revise your future filings in response to these comments. If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with supplemental information so we may better understand your disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may or may not raise additional comments.

Please understand that the purpose of our review process is to assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing. We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome any questions you may have about our comments or on any other aspect of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter.

Form 8-K as of September 28, 2004

1. We note that you present your statement disclosing why non-GAAP financial information is utilized in your press release. Please revise future filings to include these disclosures in your Item 2.02 Form 8-K.

2. Additionally, please revise your disclosures to explain why each individual non-GAAP measure presented is useful to an investor in accordance with Item 10(e)(i) of Regulation S-K. Also, discuss how management uses the measure and the limitations of using this measure. We believe that your current presentation is unclear to investors. Please note that since you provide your non-GAAP reconciliation in the form of a statement of operations, separate disclosures would be required for each non-GAAP measure created by that presentation. Please provide your proposed disclosures in a supplemental response. * * * * As appropriate, 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 that keys your responses to our comments and provides any requested supplemental information. Detailed cover letters greatly facilitate our review.
