Hi Clix,

Think of it this way- 240MM at 6%pa (this is my assumption, I forget what the actual rate is) is 14.4MM in interest expense per year. If it is deductible, the after tax cost is about 9MM which amounts to less than 5c a year in eps dilution, which amounts to a little over a penny per share dilution per Q! If the accounting treatment is different, one would be off slightly but nothing to lose sleep over.
