Well then....... here is the 10K for SEBL with the applicable section and the columns for years 1998, 1999 and 2000 respectively.

If you prefer not to have to go to the trouble of making a public, defensible treatise of your thoughts on the matter, please consider PMing your thoughts when you have time.
