I think that the 300 million is the equivalent to what we call in the U.S.,
"taxable value". If you'll remember, we were told several times during
construction that we had gotten some very good deals due to careful
selection of contractors, aggressive dealing, and just plain dumb luck.
E.g., I was told that some specialized contractors gave us a deal at just
over cost because at the time the contract was signed, they needed something
to keep their workers busy.
