By looking at ASND 3rd Quarter report, I am a little confused by one
iterm that in cost section:
there is $18,279,000 merger cost subtracted from total
operating cost. Without this item, the total cost would be
$159,013,000. With this deduction, the total cost is the same as
reported $140,734,000.

What is going on? Why they add this amount to their profit. Can anyone
look at this and come up an answer?

I would appreciate any reasonable answer.

Cheers!
Mike
