1.   Your response to prior comment number 1 indicates that you would not object to reclassifying the book overdraft from financing activities to operating activities in future filings. If future filings are revised to show this reclassification, please confirm that your reclassification footnote will include disclosures that will provide sufficient information to show the effects on amounts previously reported and as reclassified.

    accordance with Rules 5-02(19)(1) and 20 of Regulation S-X. Furthermore, the overdraft footnote disclosure should be expanded to clearly indicate that the bank is not obligated, either explicitly or implicitly, to honor the liability.
 
    We have considered the presentation alternatives for the book overdraft balance and have concluded that in future filings we will revise our presentation to reclassify the book overdraft from financing activities to operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. We also confirm to the Staff that in future filings we will include disclosures that will provide sufficient information to show the effects of the reclassification on previously reported amounts showing both the previously reported amounts and the as-reclassified amounts. In addition, we will maintain the classification of book overdrafts as accounts payable on the face of the balance sheet and our footnote disclosure of book overdrafts will be expanded to clearly indicate that the bank is not legally obligated under our credit facilities to honor the book overdraft balance.
