We note your response to prior comment 1. Please describe your accounting for sales of
inventory for which you have established a reserve in further detail. As part of your
response, please tell us how you ensure that your inventory reserve is reduced as sales of
related inventory occur. |

Response:
Our inventory reserves are permanent and
generally equal to our cost basis, with minimal subsequent sales occurring. When
we sell or dispose such inventory we record this new net cost basis in cost of goods sold so any
associated reserve is eliminated.
We ensure that our inventory reserve is reduced as sales of related inventory occur by maintaining
effective internal controls around inventory costing and revenue transactions. Company personnel
meet on at least a quarterly basis to review inventory quantities, values and to ensure the
new cost basis is accounted for as described above.
In responding to the staffs comments, the Company acknowledges that:
|
|
|
the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the
filing; |
|
|
|
|
staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose
the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and |
|
|
|
|
the Company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by
the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. |
Please feel free to contact the undersigned at 952-912-3444 if the Commission staff has any
questions or concerns regarding this response.
