2.       Please separately quantify each of the factors attributable to the
increase in the selling,
         general and administrative expenses. In addition, discuss the
underlying reasons for the
         increases in these factors and, in light of the increase in your
operating activities as
         demonstrated by the increases in revenues and direct operating
expenses, explain why the

substantially less.

5.       You state that you operate and report financial information in one
segment and
         your CODM reviews total company operating results to assess overall

have a single operating
         and reportable segment and it is your total company. In doing so,
please also discuss:
             how the CODM goes about allocating resources, assessing operating
performance
              and making key operating decisions using only total company
operating results (and
              not lower level results),
             your management structure from the top down to the sports team
level, including
              each person's roles and responsibilities,

             and, if so, describe what it is and how often it is reviewed, and
             whether any managers are compensated based upon the performance of
