   1.                                                   We note your response 
to prior comment 2, including the additional disclosures you
                                                        included in your 
interim financial statements pursuant to ASC 250. However, based on the
                                                        purpose of CAE 
disclosures and given the gross favorable and gross unfavorable changes
                                                        in estimates you 
recognized during the periods presented, please tell us what consideration
                                                        you gave to disclosing 
gross changes in estimates under your CAE disclosures or, more
                                                        fully explain to us, 
and revise future filings to disclose, why you believe disclosing
                                                        cumulative catch-up 
adjustments on a net basis, rather than on an aggregate gross basis,

2.       We note your response to prior comment 3. You indicate that insurance 
recoveries for
         losses on equipment are reflected in cash flows from investing 
activities up to the net book
         value of the assets and all other recoveries are reflected in cash 
flows from operating
         activities, as either part of net income or part of change in 
operating assets. Please be
         advised, it appears to us that proceeds received from insurance 
recoveries related to
         equipment are analogous to proceeds received from the sale or disposal 
of equipment and,
         therefore, should be afforded similar treatment, as investing cash 
flows. To the extent
         material, please reflect insurance recoveries for losses on equipment 
in cash flows from
         investing activities in future filings or explain to us how you 
determined limiting amounts
         reflected in cash flows from investing activities to the net book 
value of the assets is
         appropriate and complies with ASC 230.
       Please contact Ernest Greene at 202-551-3733 or Anne McConnell at

you have questions regarding comments on the financial statements and related 
matters.
