Critical Accounting Estimates, page 44
1. In future filings,
please enhance your disclosures to provide qualitative and quantitative
information necessary
to understand the estimation uncertainty and the impact your
critical accounting
estimates have had or are reasonably likely to have on your financial
condition and results
of operations. In addition, discuss how much each estimate and/or
assumption has changed
over a relevant period and the sensitivity of reported amounts to
the underlying methods,
assumptions and estimates used. The disclosures should
supplement, not
duplicate, the description of accounting policies or other disclosures in
the notes to the
financial statements. Refer to Item 303(b)(3) of Regulation S-K and SEC
Release No. 33-8350.

Schedule II - Valuation and Qualifying Accounts, page 127
3. We note that you partially attribute the increases in your allowance
for doubtful accounts
and inventory valuation reserves to "addition from acquisitions." Tell
us how your
accounting treatment complies with ASC 805-20-30-4, which indicates
that acquirers
shall not recognize a separate valuation allowance as of the
acquisition date for assets
acquired in a business combination that are measured at their
acquisition-date fair values
because the effects of uncertainty about future cash flows are
included in the fair value
measure. In doing so, tell us how you determined the acquisition-date
fair values of
accounts receivable and inventory acquired in business combinations.
In closing, 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.
Please contact Charles Eastman at 202-551-3794 or Andrew Blume at
202-551-3254 with
any questions.
