Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2004

Note 6. Commitments and Other - Page 26

1. We note your response to our prior comment 14 and understand that your intention is to hedge the net investment in the company`s German subsidiary. However, it is still unclear to us the nature of the cash flow hedges. Please identify the hedged transactions and how the transactions are typically settled. Include in your discussion how you conclude that these hedges are highly effective and qualify for hedge accounting. Tell us the amount of the gain/loss recognized in earnings during the reporting period as well as a description of the transactions that will result in the reclassification into earnings of gains/losses that are reported in other comprehensive income. See paragraphs 44 and 45 of SFAS 133, as amended.

As appropriate, please respond to this comment 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 comment and provides any requested supplemental information. Detailed cover letters greatly facilitate our review. Please file your cover letter on EDGAR. Please understand that we may have additional comments after reviewing your responses to our comments.

You may contact Julie Sherman, Staff Accountant, at (202) 824- 5506 or me at (202) 942-2813 if you have questions. In this regard, do not hesitate to contact Martin James, the Senior Assistant Chief Accountant, at (202) 942-1984.
