Yes, but consultancy and legal costs do not come in on a month-by-month basis. They are expected to rise as the year goes on. There may be some money left over at the end of the year. It is difficult to estimate what legal or consultancy costs would be required in any particular year. Moreover, there are a number of payment dates in the year for the pay bill. There are 26 payment dates in the year but because of the way it runs only ten have been reached to date. From a payments point of view, we are not halfway or anything like it.
