It was for a pre-payment on Shanghai study costs for 2006 (now no longer a pre-pay!). As Mike indicates below, it was not included as intended in 2005, rather it will show up in 2006 but apparently not in our US PBU budget. Sorry for any budgetary confusion caused, I have no further explanation other than Mike's below. thanks, Ed.

This invoice was originally meant to be paid in 2005 against 2005 plan dollars. However, the invoice appears to have been lost somewhere between here and Manilla and never made it into our accounting. These dollars should hit the CT (SGS) budget which now gets charged to 'Other CEC'. For simplicity purposes, we've called 'Other CEC' charges Europe regional charges, but we may need to review this.
