Re: Glacier Water Services, Inc. (File No. 1-11012)
-----------------------------------------------
Dear Mr. Moran:
The following information is submitted in response to the three
numbered points of your comment letter dated June 20, 2005.
1. The Company does not believe it has failed to comply with any rules of
the American Stock Exchange, and it has not specifically given notice
to the Exchange that its shareholders' equity is below the listing
guidelines. It has disclosed that fact in its public reports and
believes that the Exchange is aware of that fact. The Company is not
aware of any rules of the Exchange which requires notification to the
Exchange. Furthermore, the Company has not received any notice from
the Exchange on this subject.
2. The Company values its repair parts at the lower of cost or market and
the disclosure on page 26 regarding repair parts should have been so
stated. The Company will correct this oversight in future filings. The
Company utilizes repair parts on a FIFO basis. With respect to the
utility of the parts in conjunction with the upgrade to newer
machines, the Company is able to utilize repair parts for both the old
and the new upgraded machines. Additionally, management periodically
analyzes repair parts on a regular basis for the existence of either
excess or obsolete parts.
3. The disclosure relating to stock option plans in the 10-K will be
revised in future filings to segregate the exercise prices into more
discrete ranges to provide more meaningful information concerning the
number of shares in each range.
The Company acknowledges that it is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of
the disclosures in the Company's filing. The Company also acknowledges that the
comments above do not foreclose the Commission from taking action with respect
to the filings and that the Company may not assert staff comments as a defense
in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal
securities laws of the United States.
Very truly yours,
W. David Walters
Senior Vice President,
Chief Financial Officer
