How's it going, guys?
Andrew Evans
Hey, Barry.
Barry Klein - Citigroup
Hi. Just a quick question on the New Jersey rate case, you have got that accelerated recovery on the infrastructure. So none of it, it's just a return on the capital you put in; not a return on that capital, right? It's just a dollar for dollar return; is that, am I looking at it right?
John Somerhalder
No. I'll let Hank answer that.
Andrew Evans
Thanks. John, Barry, that also includes a return with a 10% ROI, attached to it. So it's a return of the investment on it.
Barry Klein - Citigroup
Okay. And then after two year, you'd have to put it into rate base and go through a rate filing for that?
John Somerhalder
It just depends on where we would, it would be sort of open for a future rate case. At this time it would be undetermined. We'd just continue to earn at the level that it was set in the order that came out from the BPU until a future case, and the BPU's anticipation would be those costs would be rolled into a future case whenever that happens.
Barry Klein - Citigroup
I got you. Okay. Thanks a lot.
John Somerhalder
Thanks Barry.

Mike Hank
Hi. Good afternoon. I am calling from (Inaudible) Capital, I was just wondering if you could just call out, what were the unique legal expenses in the quarter? I assume that's been a little bit of a drag for you all the Jefferson Island, and maybe you could give a little bit of an update on some of the special projects that you have going, like Golden Triangle and Magnolia, because seems like a lot of other companies in your group are getting a lot of credit for future projects that are coming online, and you guys have some interesting things going on as well.
John Somerhalder
Yeah, Mike, I would be glad to do that. First on the legal expenses, and the legal expense we referenced that impact us really fit in the CATEGORY of Jefferson Island. That is a project the expansion of Jefferson Island, that we are doing everything we need to get back on track. So that we can expand that facility. We feel good about our position right now, and we're moving towards, if we litigate it, a court date later this year in the third quarter. We are in the process now of attempting to settle that with the state and believe that that is also a very good possibility. One of those two ways, we believe, will get that project back on track. But in the interim period, we have legal expenses related to depositions in that case.
