In our comment, 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.

Prior Comment No. 1

1. We note the calculation of your average income before income taxes for the last five years when calculating the third criteria set forth in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X. Note that when computing the average pretax income, any loss years should be assigned a value of zero in computing the numerator for this average, but the denominator should be 5. Accordingly, it appears that your equity income from Motif ($2.4 million) exceeds 10% of your average income before taxes for the last five years, and disclosures under Rule 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X for your Motif investment are required.

Please respond to this comment within 10 business days or tell us when you will provide us with a response. Please submit all correspondence and supplemental materials on EDGAR as required by Rule 101 of Regulation S-T. You may wish to provide us with marked copies of any amendment to expedite our review. Please furnish a cover letter with any amendment that keys your response to our comment and provides any requested information. Detailed cover letters greatly facilitate our review. Please understand that we may have additional comments after reviewing any amendment and your response to our comment.

You may contact Jason Niethamer at 202-551-3855, Lisa Mitrovich (Assistant Chief Accountant) at 202-551-3453 or me at 202-551-3730 if you have questions regarding the above comment.

Sincerely,
Stephen G. Krikorian
Accounting Branch Chief
