I just got changes from Anil that showed me the message I sent last night did
not pick up my final version of the document for some entirely bizarre reason
(perhaps I had the file open when I attached the document and it only sent
the most recently saved version?).? Here is the file again - please review
and let me know if okay to finalize.

Sorry for this confusion!

I don't think it frees up any money.? The footnote is only indicating that
they
have $50 million in lease obligations for the upcoming year.? I may be
missing
something but what this would potentially affect is the asset turnover and
leverage ratios since non-capitalized leases are off-balance sheet items and
so
don't get included in the Total Assets category.

Gang:
Quick question.? Does the lease-buy-back free up $50M of funds for 1987?
Mark, is that captured in the 1987 cash flows?? Don't think that should
change our recommendation, but ran across it in the case and was wondering
if we captured it.

Best,
Jeff
