Benson DuBois : You mean I worked this whole thing out based on the wrong set of figures?
Marcy Hill : Well, it's okay. I just spent the last hour figuring it out on the calculator. So, look, it's not 12.5% compounded quarterly on a total of $11,379,000. It is 13.75% calculated semi-annually on $11,462,000
