Exhibit 99.1, page 14
1. We note the non-GAAP
adjustments to eliminate net losses (gains) on marketable equity
securities and net
interest expense related to the fair value adjustment of the mandatorily
redeemable
noncontrolling interest appear to be changing the basis of accounting applied
under U.S. GAAP. Please
tell us how you considered whether these adjustments
substitute individually
tailored recognition and measurement methods, which could
violate Rule 100(b) of
Regulation G. Refer to Question 100.04 of the Compliance and
Disclosure
Interpretations on Non-GAAP Financial Measures.
In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are
responsible for the
