Exhibit 99.1, page 9
2.We note you presented Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share
basing off a reconciliation from Income Before Income Taxes to Adjusted Pre-Tax
Income, resulting in your non-GAAP measures being presented before their comparable
GAAP measurements for GAAP Net Income and GAAP Net Income per Diluted Share.
In future filings, please ensure you present each of your non-GAAP reconciliation starting
from the most directly comparable GAAP measures, and also present GAAP measures
before non-GAAP measures to avoid the prominent issue. Refer to Question 102.10(a)
and 10(b) of the Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations on Non-GAAP Financial
Measures.
3.We note you had incurred significant One-time stand up costs for the last two years and

components of these costs, and for each major component your basis to determine that
such costs are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual in nature. In that regard, we note you
disclosed in your financial statement notes that other operating expenses include costs for
the implementation of your new ERP system. Refer to Question 102.03 of the
Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations on Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Revise
your disclosures in future filings where necessary.
