	On Sep 30.					-234929
	On Dec 31.				(Note:2)	-133977
	Interest
	On Sep 30.				(Note:1)	0
	On Dec 31.				(Note:2)	-100952

	Note:2
	Quarterly lease payment=$ 234929
	Lease payable outstanding as on Dec 31=Lease payable at the beginning of lease-Principal of lease paid on Sep 30=3600000-234929=$ 3365071
	Interest=3365071*3%-$ 100952
