Madam Chair, the $900,000 doesn't come out of anywhere, since it is just a figure we are using to show the auditors and to please our bookkeeping practices. There is no exchange of money. We are simply giving away a herd of bison that we own to offset our operational costs, which we don't want to get into anymore. The community of Resolution has spent some money to get into the ranching business. They have a very viable proposal. They have spent a considerable amount of money to get into the business and we have agreed to give them ownership of the bison. For our purposes, we have to show how we dispose of these assets. The $900,000 has to be shown as being paid, as Lew Voytilla explained earlier.
