Audited Financial Statements
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Financial Instruments, page F-8
6. We note your statement that it is not practicable to estimate
the
fair value of the Company`s investment in the common stock of
iPoint-
Media Ltd. because of the lack of quoted market prices and the
inability to estimate fair value without incurring excessive
costs.
In light of the lack of fair value information, tell us how you
determined that the investment was not impaired. In this regard,
we
note from iPoint`s Form SB-2 filed on July 1, 2005 that iPoint has
sustained operating losses, expects such losses to continue in the
foreseeable future, has not generated sufficient revenues to
achieve
profitable operations or positive cash flow from operations, has a
working capital deficiency and an accumulated deficit, the
relationship from which iPoint derived 96% of its revenues in 2004
was terminated, and the independent auditors have expressed
substantial doubt about iPoint`s ability to continue as going
concern. Address how you considered the guidance in SFAS No. 144.
Shipping and Handling Fees, page F-10
7. We note that shipping and handling costs are netted in cost of
goods sold. Tell us how your accounting complies with Issue 1 of
EITF 00-10 which states that shipping and handling fees should be
classified as revenue. Include a schedule of all shipping and
handling costs incurred and passed through to customers for the
past
two years in your response.
