1. | We note your response to our prior comment 5. As SCH management based its valuation of the VG Companies on an analysis of the aggregate potential cash flows to be generated by the Virgin Galactic business, as projected by VG management, please revise to disclose these cash flow projections. |
The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staffs comment and advises the Staff that the term aggregate potential cash flows, as referenced in the disclosure and as it relates to SCH managements evaluation of the VG Companies, was used to refer to SCH managements comparison of projected EBITDA to projected capital expenditures, each as provided by VG Management and as disclosed on page 129 of the Amended Registration Statement. Other than this metric, there were no other material projections of cash flow used in evaluating the VG Companies. In response to the Staffs comment, the Company has revised its disclosure on pages 114 and 115.
