Projected Consolidated Statements of Income

9. We have read your response to comment 16 from our letter dated July 29, 2005. Your amended projected consolidated statement of income no longer projects an impairment loss on goodwill. You also indicated that your annual goodwill analysis has not yet been completed. Please tell us whether there are any preliminary indications of goodwill impairment at the present time. Also, tell us whether the first step of the goodwill impairment test used to identify potential impairment has been completed. Please also indicate whether a goodwill impairment loss is probable. Please provide information to support your conclusions.

10. We have read your response to comment 17 from our letter dated July 29, 2005. You indicated that 992 coolers had been installed by June 30, 2005.

Given that you have only installed an additional 114 coolers since June 30, 2005, please confirm whether you reasonably believe that you can meet the projections for September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2005. Please provide information to support your conclusions including but not limited to current orders, commitments and contracts.

Closing Comments

As appropriate, please amend your registration statement in response to these comments. You may wish to provide us with marked copies of the amendment to expedite our review. Please furnish a cover letter with your amendment that keys your responses to our comments and provides any requested information. Detailed cover letters greatly facilitate our review. Please understand that we may have additional comments after reviewing your amendment and responses to our comments.

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 Act of 1933 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.

Notwithstanding our comments, in the event the company requests acceleration of the effective date of the pending registration statement, it should furnish a letter, at the time of such request, acknowledging that:

( should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

( the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

( the company may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

We will consider a written request for acceleration of the effective date of the registration statement as confirmation of the fact that those requesting acceleration are aware of their respective responsibilities under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as they relate to the proposed public offering of the securities specified in the above registration statement. We will act on the request and, pursuant to delegated authority, grant acceleration of the effective date.

We direct your attention to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requesting acceleration of a registration statement. Please allow adequate time after the filing of any amendment for further

review before submitting a request for acceleration. Please provide this request at least two business days in advance of the requested effective date.
