1. We note your response to prior comment number 1 and your changes to your segment disclosure in your Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31, 2005. In this regard, we note that you have changed your measure of segment income (loss) that is disclosed in the footnotes to income (loss) before income taxes less depreciation and amortization, gain on security transactions, dividend income, interest income and interest expense. Clarify whether your chief operating decision maker has always used this measure of segment profit or loss instead of the prior measure as previously disclosed. That is, tell us whether you believe the revised disclosure is a correction or a change in the segment measure. If the former is true, explain how you determined that the correction should not result in restatements and amendments to previously filed Exchange Act reports including your October 31, 2004 Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly filings. In addition, tell us how you considered this change in concluding that your disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of each of reporting period effected by this change in segment disclosure. *****

As appropriate, please amend your filing and 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.

We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure in the filing to be certain that the filing includes all information required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that they have provided all information investors require for an informed investment decision. Since the company and its management are in possession of all facts relating to a company`s disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they have made.

In connection with responding to our comment, please provide, in writing, a statement from the company acknowledging that:

* the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;

* staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and
