1. COMMENT:  We note your response to comments 8 and 9 in our letter dated March 16, 2006 and have the following comments:


·

It appears that you intend to apply the modified prospective application transition method pursuant to paragraphs 74 and 75 of SFAS 123(R). Please confirm our understanding.


RESPONSE: The Company hereby confirms that it will apply the modified prospective application transition method pursuant to paragraphs 74 and 75 of SFAS 123(R).

Based on your response, it appears that you will restate your interim financial statements to only reflect the fair value of the 625,000 options granted in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. However it is unclear whether you have also recognized the compensation cost associated with those awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered and are outstanding on or after July 1, 2006. Please clarify whether there were unvested options as of July 1, 2006. If so, please reflect the expense associated with those unvested options in your restated financial statements.


RESPONSE:  The Company has clarified with the staff that the foregoing comment relates to unvested options as of July 1, 2005, not July 1, 2006. Based on the clarification, the Company, hereby confirms, and will expressly state in the restated financial statements, that it had no unvested options outstanding as of July 1, 2005.

We remind you to include the disclosures in paragraph 64, 84, A240 and A241 of SFAS 123(R), as well as those discussed in SAB 107, in your amended filings.
