                cost of sales, gross profit, and each significant component of operating

                by both
                net sales and cost of sales or operating expenses, we believe a separate
                discussion of cost of sales and operating expenses is appropriate.
                Also,
                please ensure your discussion of cost of sales and operating expenses
                quantifies and discusses the significant cost components within these
                broad categories and changes in these cost components, such as labor

      note
      the Staff&#8217;s comment, and supplementally advise the Staff that the only change to
      rates used in valuing deferred tax assets in fiscal 2007 was the change in
      the
      U.S. Federal rate.&#160; In years prior to 2007, the Company had calculated its
      deferred tax assets using a 34% federal income tax rate as its pre-tax income
      in
      future years when the temporary differences were expected to reverse was
      expected to be less than $10.0 million.&#160;&#160;As the Company prepared its
      long range plan during 2007, its expectations for future pre-tax income
      increased and is now expected to be greater than $10.0 million in future years
      when the temporary differences are expected to reverse.&#160;&#160;As a result
      of this increase in the estimated future pre-tax income in future years, the
      Company&#8217;s tax rate is expected to be 35% and the deferred tax assets should
      reflect this change in accounting estimate.&#160;&#160;The threshold for using
      the federal tax rate bracket of 35% is pre-tax income in excess of $10.0
      million.</font></div>

                continue
                litigation.&#160;&#160;Following this update, the Board gave management
                authority, at management&#8217;s discretion, to settle the case at a scheduled
                mediation.&#160;&#160;Although management had the required authority to
                settle the case, they determined that litigation of the matter was
                still
                the most likely outcome and that the Company would likely prevail
                in any
                such litigation.&#160;&#160;In fact, mediation did not produce a
                settlement.&#160;&#160;Consequently, management determined that the
                probability of an unfavorable outcome was still remote and, therefore,
                no
                accrual or disclosures were required in the Company's Form 10-Q for
                the
                three month period ended March 30, 2007 as set out in paragraph 10
                of SFAS
                No. 5. </font></div>

                  Quarter Fiscal 2007. During the 3<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 70%; VERTICAL-ALIGN: super">rd</font>
                quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company engaged a new litigator to review
                the
                Company&#8217;s discovery and other factors&#160;related to this case and its
                litigation strategy, working in conjunction with the Company&#8217;s
                intellectual property, antitrust and insurance counsel.&#160;&#160;While
                this review was being carried out the Company continued to believe
                that
                litigation was the most likely outcome.&#160;&#160;However, in May 2007,
                the new litigator completed the review and presented findings to
                the
                Company.&#160;&#160;Based on this presentation, the Company decided to
                settle the case.&#160;&#160;Accordingly, the Company concluded that it was
                now probable that it would have an unfavorable outcome and began
                estimating the level of the loss that would be incurred.&#160;&#160;The
                Company began developing an estimate of the potential exposure of
                the
                settlement.&#160;&#160;On July 10, 2007, before the issuance of its 3<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 70%; VERTICAL-ALIGN: super">rd</font>
                quarter results, the Company concluded a settlement of $4.4 million
                with
                Confluence.&#160;&#160;Based on the guidance in paragraph 8a of SFAS No.
                5, the Company recorded an accrual for this settlement as part of
                its
                results for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.
