Actually there were two questions from one person.

Q1. Amount of slack time in vessel critical path timeline?
A1. If shipyard can take on more integration, will bring delivery date forward 1 month and will also reduce costs.

Q2. Any hope of recovery of the $10M fraud expense?
A2. Investigation ongoing, but was required to expense the loss due to accounting rules.  No insurance is available for 3rd party fraud.

Also a couple of my other notes:

• PNG 5% option decision June 2015
• Will know how much additional funding required, once PNG options known, likely by year end
• Getting close on location for wet testing SPTs

I assume that is Fujian Mawei (about 17 minutes in). Does this mean that it will be good for the CAPEX in that the cost of the integration will be born by MAC and Fujian Mawei under the contract to lease? If so then it is not Capital out of pocket for Nautilus bringing the burn per month down in these final years? I get that it could potentially shorten the critical path but unsure of how this is good for the CAPEX. I have obviously never built a ship before especially with so many complicated partnerships - lol. Anyone able to help me out here?

Yes scampoco, that's how I heard it as well.  It saves time and money a couple ways, as instead of doing the component integration in Singapore (the original plan) after the vessel is delivered by Fujian, they are validating whether Fujian themselves can do some of the integration as the ship is built.  Additionally, it shifts the cost to MAC as part of the lease agreement, and thus no additional out-of-pocket for Nautilus.

The time savings was quoted as 1 month, which is not a lot ( <3% ), but everything helps.  It was stated on the conference call that the timeline is "tight" meaning not a lot of slack in it.  From everything I see, they are following good project management practices... a small amount of contingency in case they really need it, but not so much as to load up the schedule with too much slack.
