Please expand all of your critical accounting policies to address the following areas: * Types of assumptions underlying the most significant and subjective estimates; * Any known trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to occur and materially affect the methodology or the assumptions described; * If applicable, why different estimates that would have had a material impact on your financial presentation could have been used in the current period; * If applicable, why the accounting estimate is reasonably likely to change from period to period with a material impact on the financial presentation; * A quantitative discussion of changes in overall financial performance and, to the extent material, line items in the financial statements if you were to assume that the accounting estimate were changed, either by using reasonably possible near-term changes in the most material assumption(s) underlying the accounting estimate or by using the reasonably possible range of the accounting estimate. If those changes could have a material effect on your liquidity or capital resources, then you also would have to explain that effect; * A quantitative and qualitative discussion of any material changes made to the accounting estimate in the past three years, the reasons for the changes, and the effect on line items in the financial statements and overall financial performance.

Statement of Cash Flows, page F-5 5. Under the Deferred Compensation note on page F-9, you discuss life insurance policies. Please tell us how you considered Section 1300.13 of the AICPA Technical Practice Aids in reaching the conclusion that increases in the cash surrender value of your life insurance policies do not represent investing activities. Please also tell us where these amounts were presented in your cash flow statement for each of the last three years and the interim period, including the amounts involved. 6. Please tell us how you treated the borrowings against the cash surrender value in your cash flow statements. Please tell us each of the circumstances, if any, under which you would be obligated to repay the borrowings against the cash surrender value. Please also tell us where these amounts were presented in your cash flow statement for each of the last three years and the interim period, including the amounts involved. 7. Please tell us how you concluded that premiums paid for life insurance policies and borrowings against the cash surrender value met the criteria in paragraph 13 of SFAS 95 to be netted, rather than presented gross. 8. Please explain to us how your netting of cash flows related to payments and borrowings on your bank line of credit meets the requirements in paragraph 13 of SFAS 95 for netting. Otherwise, please present the gross changes in payments and borrowings on your bank line of credit. Note E - Debt, page F-12 9. Please disclose in your financial statements the significant financial covenants under your new line of credit facility and the repercussions of not meeting them.

Please revise the tables accordingly. 11. The range of exercise prices for your options is wide. Please segregate the exercise prices into meaningful ranges and provide the information in paragraph 48 of SFAS 123 for each range. Exhibit 31.1 12.
