Mr. John Hannigan:
I think it is important to point out, and I do not think that my colleague will mind me saying this as a former finance director, that in the early days a sinking fund is probably not needed. That is because the properties are new. Sinking funds are needed, though, as time passes and, normally, they are ratcheted up over time.
