Mr. John Pollock:
I thank the Deputy. In looking at the impairment charge, we broke it up into 15 separate work streams which we saw as deliverables. By deliverable it is meant something that was a tangible asset for us. Therefore, items such as the civil structural engineer’s design for the Mater project was very specific to the Mater site as it was for a16-storey building on a totally different footprint. So even though we have drawings and calculations, that particular deliverable would not be transferable.
