Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004
Consolidated Financial Statements
Consolidated Balance Sheets, page F-3
1. We note that you are required to redeem the Class 1 and Class 2
Units by June 2007 and June 2012, respectively, provided the unit
holder has timely exercised the unit holder`s put right. We also
note that your recently issued Series B Preferred Units are
redeemable upon a change in control. Considering that the
redemption
of these Units appears to be outside of your control, tell us how
you
considered Rule 5-02.28 of Regulation S-X and EITF D-98 in your
classification and measurement of the redeemable units within
permanent equity.
Consolidated Statements of Operations, page F-4
2. Please explain to us how you considered paragraph 60 of SFAS
128
and EITF 03-6 in calculating net income per unit as it appears the
various classes participate in dividends differently.
* * * *
As appropriate, please respond to these comments within 10
business days or tell us when you will provide us with a response.
Please furnish a cover letter that keys your responses to our
comments and provides any requested information. Detailed cover
letters greatly facilitate our review. Please file your cover
letter
on EDGAR. Please understand that we may have additional comments
after reviewing your 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
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 comments, 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
* the company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any
proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the
federal securities laws of the United States.
In addition, please be advised that the Division of
Enforcement
has access to all information you provide to the staff of the
Division of Corporation Finance in our review of your filing or in
response to our comments on your filing.
