Do you recall how the other figures were stated. I thought they were in terms of by "end of year." If so then they are materially different than the last 10 million number as it is put in terms of average volume in the first year. Surely the volume at the end of the year will be higher on day 1, but averaged together perhaps they will equal 10 million.

I again am puzzled by "first year." I believe the fee schedule works off the calendar year, i.e. volume discounts are prorated off of the calendar year. However, the 5 year contract with the Philly I believe start with the start of operations. We shall find out soon enough however.

I couldn't find the earlier statements although the first was 20 million and the second was 20 to 30 million. My apologies if my recollection is wrong and they in fact were stated in terms of average volume per day as opposed to end of year.

RE 10MM vs 20MM. I think Rob may be right that the 20MM number was an end of the first year target while the 10MM is clearly stated as an average for the first year.

RE Rose Glen investment: You really dodge the issue of how much risk is being taken on by Rose Glen and twist it back to the benefits/disadvantages for Ashton. If RG is not risking anything with this investment then you can't add her shares to the bottom line of "institutional ownership".
