Financial Statements
Note 11. Segment Reporting, page F-21
1. We understand, from response one of your letter dated May 24,
2005, that operating income is not included in the periodic
financial
information provided to the chief operating decision maker. In
support of your response, please provide us with a copy of the
periodic reporting package. We may have further comments upon
review
of this information.
2. The term EBITDA is commonly understood to refer to earnings
before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. If your measure
of
segment profitability differs from this description, please label
it
"adjusted EBITDA" or in some similar manner.
3. In addition to the changes you propose to make to the "Segment
Reporting" note in the financial statement footnotes, please also
revise to delete any presentation of EBITDA on a consolidated
basis.
4. In addition to the changes you propose to make to your MD&A
discussion, please expand your detailed discussions of operations
to
more thoroughly address changes in operating income on a
consolidated
basis. As indicated above, any EBITDA discussions and
presentations
should pertain only to your individual segments.
Closing
