Q: If you look at it from an asset point of view, how much do you think could be attributed to the Gas Supply Master Agreement (GSMA) itself when you were valuing RNRL and how much could have been attributed to the coal bed methane and the other assets of RNRL?
A: I won’t be able to say how much for each as it’s an independent valuation done by KPMG, taking into consideration various aspects of that business is one. Second thing is taking into consideration the market price, the business discounted cash flow (DCF) as well as the book value, which includes as you said the GSMA includes the coal bed methane (CBM) blocks, includes the shipping business and various aspects.
