1. | We note that the increase in net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the year-ago period was due primarily to changes in accounts receivable. Given the materiality of accounts receivable to your financial position and liquidity, and noting current decreased revenues, please revise herein to explain the nature of the increases in billed and unbilled accounts receivable during the quarter (page F-29), to quantify DSO or any other measure(s) used to manage this account and to explain material variances in such measure(s) for the periods presented. |
In response to the Staff’s comment, the Registrant has revised its disclosure on page 69.
