| HDave | Make sure to convert annual LIBOR% to 1.5 yrs and 2 yrs rate!! |
| aravinda | 0.0975 is the annualized rate...so to get the fixed payments you got to convert it back.... or just take the 'non-annualized rate" of 0.04875 and multiply it by 20 million |
Thanks again for your wonderful site ... it definitely made the difference.
