Mr. Amit Pande
Assistant Chief Accountant
Division of Corporation Finance
United States Securities and Exchange Commission
450 Fifth Street, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20549
Dear Mr. Pande:
We have amended our filing on Form 8-K and filed it with the SEC as of
August 11, 2005. Below, please find our responses to your inquiries contained in
your comment letter dated August 3, 2005. For simplicity, the numbers associated
with our responses correspond to your numbered comments.
1. See the added disclosure in amendment no. 1.
2. See the added disclosure in amendment no. 1.
3. The events which gave rise to the accounting errors took place during
the Company's 2004 fiscal third quarter and so were reflected in the financial
statements for the quarter. The accounting errors were caught and corrected
prior to the filing and publication of the Company's 2004 audited annual
financial statements. Therefore, the audited financial statements for the 2004
fiscal year end reflect the correct accounting treatment for these matters.
4. See the added disclosure in amendment no. 1. Please further note that
the initial improperly recorded gain was a non-cash, non-operating gain, and was
reflected as such in our original 2004 fiscal third quarter Form 10-Q.
5. We believe the Company's controls and procedures are adequate, so do our
auditors. It was in the process of following our controls and procedures, and
communicating regularly with our auditor, that the Company identified these
accounting errors.
