STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>1. We have read your response to prior comment one. Given the maturity dates of the investments underlying your variable rate demand bonds are long-term in nature, we continue to believe that your
variable rate demand bonds do not meet the definition of cash and cash equivalents as defined by ASC 305-10-20. Unlike holders of short-term securities, who rely on issuers to provide current liquidity, variable rate demand bonds generally rely on
third parties to provide current liquidity, as is the case with any other long-term note. Therefore, if the investor must rely on the marketplace or any third party to provide liquidity, as opposed to the issuer, we believe that your variable rate
demand notes should not be classified as cash and cash equivalents. Please revise your future filings accordingly. </I></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I><U>Response

accordance with SFAS No.&nbsp;115, <I>Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities</I>, based on our ability to sell such instruments and our intent to not hold such instruments until maturity, we intend to classify such variable
rate demand notes as investments, available-for-sale, and carry them at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. </FONT></P>
