6. We note your revised disclosures regarding the challenges faced in retaining customers of
acquired businesses. In light of the significance of this challenge to the successful
integration of the businesses to be acquired in the offering, consider bifurcat ing the
discussion regarding client retention challenges from your discussion of other risks
applicable to your business. Also, to provide context for the second bullet point, stating
you may not be able to retain customers of the Target Sellers, ensure t hat this bullet point
explains how historical cha llenges may impact this risk. Lastly, as requested in prior
comment 7, ensure that your discussion regarding such historical challenges is provided
on a period by period basis.

10. Based on your response to prior comment 30, it appears that the acquisitions of your
Target companies include the same inputs, processes and outputs as your recent historical
acquisitions that you describe in your response to prior comment 59. Please clarify the
characteristics of your Target C ompanies that are different than your historical
acquisitions, such that they resulted in goodwill. While we note in your response to prior

14. We reissue prior comment 36, insofar as you have not told us whether you utilize any
metrics to track the rate at which you retain customers from acquired busi nesses.

gave to disclosing these factors in light of the substantial cash balances he ld in Pakistan.
