The percentage of completion used to recognize revenues and cost of sales is calculated based on the percentage of construction costs incurred at the measurement date compared to the estimated total construction costs, excluding equipment and turbine deposits in each measure. We have selected this method because we consider construction costs, excluding deposits, to be the best available measure of progress on the project. Any adjustments to the estimated percentage of completion or estimated earnings, and the related impacts to operating income, are recorded in the period they become known. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div></div>
