We note from your response to comment 1 that you consider gross sales to be a non- GAAP measure. You indicate gross sales is calculated by add backing promotional expense to net sales in the period the related revenue is recorded to arrive at the non- GAAP measure. Please be advised the presentation of a non-GAAP measure that substitutes individually tailored revenue recognition and measurement methods for those of GAAP is not appropriate and should not be presented. In this regard, please revise to remove your presentation of the non-GAAP measure, gross sales, from the filing. Refer to Question 100.04 of the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance C&DIs on the use of non-GAAP measures. Norman E. Snyder Reed's, Inc.
