   1.                                                   We note that you appear 
to report an incomplete cost of revenues measure
                                                        that excludes 
depreciation and amortization, although in the disclosures on page 55 you
                                                        allocate substantially 
all depreciation and amortization to the Technical Services and
                                                        Support Services 
segments. Given the nature of your business, we expect that you would
                                                        need to allocate 
depreciation and amortization of equipment used in your revenue
                                                        generating activities 
to cost of revenues under GAAP.

                                                        If you wish to report 
cost of revenues components separately you should adhere to the
                                                        parenthetical labeling 
accommodation in SAB Topic 11:B, although under this
                                                        convention it should be 
clear which particular line items and amounts have been excluded.
                                                        Any disclosures 
pertaining to an incomplete cost of revenues measure should include
