Hi Tim:

Responded to you via message, but I think this may just be a quibble with the new accounting.

I'm not suggesting their debt doubled (which would be misleading), but just characterizing what their liabilities are as they're currently understood.

The corresponding right-of-use asset is there on the other side of their balance sheet as well, so stockholders' equity isn't changed on net.
