In finalizing the first quarter's financial statements, it was determined that these reimbursable costs should not be recorded as expenses on the joint venture's books nor a reduction to expenses on ODG's books. The appropriate accounting for these expenses on the joint venture's books reduced the joint venture's total loss from $1.2 million to $438,000 for the first quarter. Combined with income in connection with the accretion of ODG's investment in the joint venture, ODG's proportionate share of the joint venture's loss in the first quarter was reduced to $100,000.
