<p style="FONT-FAMILY: times"><font size="2"> Effective March 31, 2007, EME accounted for its ownership in the Doga project on the cost method as accumulated distributions exceeded accumulated earnings. Therefore, the Doga project is only included in the balances for three months for the year ended December 31, 2007. EME has not estimated the fair value of cost method investments as quoted market prices are not available and the determination of fair value is highly subjective and cannot be readily ascertained. </font></p>
