Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Initially, all these projects were all included in the business plans and were reviewed through the normal process. For example, in the vital statistics information system, the total budget for the project was $150,000. As they worked through the project over the course of the year, they determined that there was an element that required the purchase of equipment. Because that equipment was $150,000 per unit, it was designated to be O and M, so we had to shift the money from capital to O and M. There was $35,000, for example, on the vital stats information system. There is still $150,000 in that system in capital where it belongs. So it's as we worked through the project, the project becomes more defined and if there is capital equipment required, it really depends on the price of that equipment, whether it's O and M or capital. So it's really hard to determine this right at the beginning of the year when we are doing business plans up.
