Please remove disclosures that are duplicative. Also, please revise your disclosures, where applicable, to:

•Address why accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change; •Discuss the effect of changes in critical accounting estimates between periods to the extent such changes had a significant effect on your financial position or operating results; •Describe the methods and key assumptions used and how the key assumptions were determined; •Discuss the degree of uncertainty associated with the key assumptions. The discussion regarding uncertainty should provide specifics to the extent possible (e.g., the valuation model assumes recovery from a business downturn within a defined period of time); and •Describe potential events and/or changes in circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect key assumptions.
