<br>Dear Mr. Jaramillo,
<br><br>
This is in response to your February 23, 2010 letter commenting on our above-referenced Annual Report on Form 10-K and Definitive Proxy Statement.
<br>
<br>
<b><u>Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009<br>
<br>
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, F-8<br>
<br>
Revenue Recognition, F-9
<br>
<br>
Research and Development Contract Revenue Recognition, page F-10</u>
<br>
<br>
COMMENT 1. We note from your disclosure that your cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts are cost reimbursement contracts that also provide for payment to you of a negotiated fee that is fixed at the inception of the contract. Also, we note that these contracts normally require you to complete and deliver the specified end product within the estimated cost, if possible, as a condition for payment of the entire fixed fee. In this regard, please tell us when the fixed fee is recognized by you. Please provide us with a description of the method(s) used by you in recognizing the fixed fee and in accounting for the cost incurred and earned by you. Additionally, please tell us how the above methods for recognizing the fixed fee and the cost earned by you follow and support the nature and terms of your performance obligations per the cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts in order for these amounts to be considered earned. Furthermore, please provide us with the amount of revenue and cost recognized by you for these cost-plus-fixed-
fee contracts for each period presented in your financial statements. Finally, please revise your disclosure in future filings to expand your revenue recognition policy for cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts to address the concerns in this comment.</b>
<br>
<br>
<hr><br clear="all" style="page-break-before:always;">
RESPONSE 1. Our cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts do not require completion as a condition for payment of the fixed fee, and a pro-rata fee is reasonably assured even with a lack of complete performance or cancellation.<br>
<br>
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 912-605-25, we recognize revenues and costs under cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts pro-rata as work progresses because fees are billable under contract terms, the ratio of the performance to date to complete performance can be computed reasonably, and collection is reasonably assured. The costs for which we earn reimbursement are the actual costs incurred and are recorded in the period in which they are incurred.<br>
<br>
The amounts of revenue and cost recognized by us for cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts for each of the periods in our financial statements are as follows:<br>
