   1.                                                   Please expand your risk
factor concerning prospective "significant losses in the future" to
                                                        quantify the estimated
expense that you expect to recognize due to the conversion of the
                                                        notes referenced on
page F-47 and the cancellation of debt owed by executives that
                                                        is referenced on page

2.       Please clarify your disclosure to quantify and explain the changes in

         deferred revenue amortization should be disclosed if material.
Revenue, page 111

3.       Please expand your disclosure to clarify that approximately $11
million of the referenced
         $42.9 million increase in U.S. government revenue was due to an
increase in
         your amortization of the U.S. DoD advance in the June 30 quarter
relative to the March 31
         quarter. Please also clarify the disclosure to address the extent to
which the revenue
         increase was impacted by the introduction of new products, changes in
sales volume
         or to changes in sales price. See the guidance in Item 303(b)(2)(iii)
of Regulation S-K.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures, page 114

4.       Please expand your disclosure to clarify why the estimated tax impact
is reported to be
         only 2% of your aggregate non-GAAP adjustments. In this regard, we
note that your June
         30, 2021 effective tax rate is 29% and that your reported statutory
rate is 21%. We may
         have further comment.
        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.

allow adequate
time for us to review any amendment prior to the requested effective date of
the registration
statement.
