Company notes the Staff&#8217;s comment and, in response to this comment, advises the

4 to Item 402(c) states &#8220;Any amounts deferred, whether pursuant to a plan
established under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, or otherwise,
shall be included in the appropriate column for the fiscal year in which <font style="DISPLAY: inline; TEXT-DECORATION: underline">earned</font>&#8221; (emphasis
added). Mr. Kanders, however, did not earn this portion of his compensation in
2009; rather, earning such amount was contingent upon (i) the completion of an
asset redeployment transaction, <font style="DISPLAY: inline; TEXT-DECORATION: underline">and</font> (ii) Mr. Kanders&#8217;
continued employment with the Company.&#160;&#160;For example, had Mr. Kanders
and/or the Company terminated his employment with the Company prior to the
consummation of the Company&#8217;s acquisitions of Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd.
(&#8220;BDE&#8221;) and Gregory Mountain Products, Inc. (&#8220;GMP&#8221;) on May 28, 2010, or had an
asset redeployment transaction not have occurred, Mr. Kanders would not have
earned his salary from and after the date of the amendment to his employment
agreement respecting such arrangement, nor would the Company have been obligated
to pay such salary to Mr. Kanders from and after such date. Therefore, the
Company believes that the salary column of the summary compensation correctly
includes only $125,000 in salary, the amount that was earned by Mr. Kanders
during the 2009 fiscal year. The Company further notes that, upon closing of the
acquisitions of BDE and GMP on May 28, 2010, all such salary was earned by Mr.
Kanders as of such closing date and, accordingly, the Company will include such
salary in the summary compensation table, in accordance with Instruction 4 to
Item 402(c), for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010, the fiscal year in
which the compensation was earned by Mr. Kanders.</font></div><br>

      note from your response to comment 10 of our letter dated August 6, 2010
      that the tax provision as reported in the income statement on a quarterly
      and annual basis does not reflect the amount of cash tax savings the NOL
      provides.&#160;&#160;Please explain the basis for this statement as it
      appear that the tax benefit that would arise out of the utilization of net
      operating loss carry forwards would be captured in your GAAP deferred tax
      benefit/provision.&#160;&#160;Thus, it appears that cash taxes paid would
      represent an adjustment to measure liquidity rather than
      performance.</font></div>

to present the non-GAAP performance measure pro forma earnings before non-cash
expense and earnings per share before non-cash expenses, we make a number of
non-cash adjustments including adding back amortization of intangibles,
depreciation, accretion of note discount, non-cash equity compensation, non-cash
write off of inventory step up and provision for income taxes while subtracting
cash taxes.&#160;&#160;We believe presenting pro forma earnings before similar
items is a common non-GAAP performance measure not a liquidity measure and we
reconcile back to net income as reported as required by Regulation
G.</font></div>

quarterly and annual basis, the tax provision in the income statement as
reported includes both a current and deferred expense component combined as
&#8220;provision for income taxes,&#8221; with the offsetting credit to income taxes payable
on the balance sheet, assuming a pre-tax profit.&#160;&#160;This provision for
income taxes expense yields a relatively normal effective federal and state tax
rate in the projected 35% to 40% range for GAAP
purposes.&#160;&#160;&#160;However, the actual cash taxes paid is much less than
35% to 40% of GAAP pre-tax income due to the benefit of the net operating loss
(&#8220;NOL&#8221;), which is not reflected in the tax provision expense in the quarterly
and annual income statement as reported as that benefit is reported in an
earlier period under the asset and liability method of accounting prescribed by
ASC 740-10-25.</font></div>

believe a majority of readers may be confused that we have a normal 35% to 40%

pay federal income taxes, except for federal AMT.&#160;&#160;&#160;By adding
back provision expense and subtracting cash income taxes back to the income
statement on a pro forma basis, we are able to normalize the real cash tax
expense and provide the reader with a more accurate view of profitability and a
better performance measure, when combined with the other previously mentioned
non-cash add backs.</font></div><br>
