CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES, PAGE 84

(A) CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES, PAGE 84

1.   WE NOTE THAT YOU STATE THAT YOUR DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES WERE
     EFFECTIVE TO ENSURE THAT MATERIAL INFORMATION RELATING TO THE COMPANY WAS
     MADE KNOWN TO YOUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER BY
     OTHERS. IN FUTURE FILINGS PLEASE REVISE TO CLARIFY, IF TRUE, THAT YOUR
     OFFICERS CONCLUDED THAT YOUR DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES ARE ALSO
     EFFECTIVE TO ENSURE THAT INFORMATION REQUIRED TO BE DISCLOSED IN THE
     REPORTS THAT YOU FILE OR SUBMIT UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT IS RECORDED,
     PROCESSED, SUMMARIZED AND REPORTED, WITHIN THE TIME PERIODS SPECIFIED IN
     THE COMMISSION'S RULES AND FORMS. YOU SHOULD ALSO EXPAND YOUR DISCLOSURE TO
     INDICATE THAT DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES INCLUDED, WITHOUT
     LIMITATION, CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES DESIGNED TO ENSURE THAT INFORMATION
     REQUIRED TO BE DISCLOSED IN THE REPORTS THAT YOU FILE OR SUBMIT UNDER THE
     ACT IS ACCUMULATED AND COMMUNICATED TO YOUR MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING ITS
     PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL OFFICERS, OR PERSONS PERFORMING
     SIMILAR FUNCTIONS, AS APPROPRIATE TO ALLOW TIMELY DECISIONS REGARDING
     REQUIRED DISCLOSURE. SEE EXCHANGE ACT RULE 13A-15(E).


As requested, in future filings we will revise to clarify, if true, that our
officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were also
effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports
that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and
forms. We will also expand our disclosure to indicate that disclosure controls
and procedures included, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or
submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.

3.   PLEASE EXPLAIN TO US THE NATURE OF THE PROVISION YOU HAVE RECORDED PURSUANT
     TO SFAS 48. SPECIFICALLY, TELL US WHY YOU HAVE APPLIED THE GUIDANCE IN SFAS
     48 RATHER THAN EITF 01-9 TO YOUR REBATES.

In response to the Staff's comment, we note that the provisions recorded in
accordance with SFAS 48 relate to our Healthcare segment. We further note that
the provisions mentioned in note 2(i), which we accounted for in accordance with
the guidance in SFAS 48, erroneously referred to rebates, rather than
charge-backs and returns, and therefore EITF 01-9 is not applicable. The
recorded provisions were maintained in order to cover estimated charge-backs and
returns which mainly occurred within a three-month period subsequent to the
initial corresponding sales. The provision was calculated based on the previous
trailing twenty-four months sales and actual charge-backs. This historical
experience with similar types of sales of similar products to the same customers
enabled us to calculate a reasonable estimate of the future charge-backs and
returns as required by SFAS 48. We therefore believe that the guidance in SFAS
48 is applicable to this provision.
