Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2017
Filed February 20, 2018
File No. 1-36102
Dear Mr. Anderson:
We have limited our review of your filing to your contacts with
countries that have been
identified as state sponsors of terrorism, and we have the following comments.
Our review with
respect to this issue does not preclude further review by the Assistant
Director group with respect
to other issues. In our comments, we ask you to provide us with information so
we may better
understand your disclosure.
Please respond to these comments within ten business days by providing
the requested
information or advise us as soon as possible when you will respond. If you do
not believe our
comments apply to your facts and circumstances, please tell us why in your
response.
After reviewing your response to these comments, we may have additional
comments.
General
1. On pages 5 and 9, you identify Samsung as a large customer. Samsung
reportedly sells
its products in Syria and Sudan, countries which are designated by the
State Department
as state sponsors of terrorism and are subject to U.S. sanctions and/or
export
controls. You do not provide disclosure about those countries in your
Form 10-K. Please
describe to us the nature and extent of any past, current, and
anticipated contacts with
Syria and Sudan, including with their governments, whether through
subsidiaries,
distributors, customers, or other direct or indirect arrangements.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for
the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action
or absence of
action by the staff.
