Mr. Danny O'Sullivan:

Transfers from ISIF, which is the equity funding being provided now, are off-balance sheet because we are essentially exchanging one asset - which is the ISIF funds - for LDA shares. That is off-balance sheet. However, if the LDA pursues borrowing, that would be considered Government debt and would be on-balance sheet.
