Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The amount in the document covers two years. The first year shortfall is the 2003-04 fiscal year and that's about $919,000. That's made up by the increase in heating fuel costs as well as power and a small amount for maintenance. The heating fuel cost increased substantially, the volume is almost 80 percent of what was existing. So there is a substantial jump. For recourse, for anybody else outside, I am informed that we have very little room for recourse. As to when the building was initially designed, estimates were put in place and then construction and coming into a full year of operation. So, unfortunately, we are faced with this and dealing with it. The first amount of $919,000 makes up the shortfall for 2003-04. The remainder of $925,000 would make up the shortfall that we would find in this year of 2004-05. At that point, it would go into the budget on an ongoing basis, so we shouldn't see any more of this nature. Thank you.
