consideration to include
such measure in your Form 10-Q and 10-K filings or tell us what measures
you use to
monitor your larger customer base. Refer to Item 303(a) of Regulation

information
necessary to understand the estimation uncertainty and the impact your
critical
accounting estimates have had or are reasonably likely to have on your
financial
condition and results of operations. In doing so, discuss how much each
estimate
and/or assumption has changed over a relevant period and the sensitivity
of reported
amounts to the underlying methods, assumptions and estimates used. The
disclosures
should supplement, not duplicate, the description of accounting policies
or other
disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. Refer to Item
