When we were tightening things last summer we were including the last Lerner season as part of the FFP 3 years so I don't believe it does. If it did it would be way around FFP that would be open to abuse.

You get to inject more equity in your first 3 years of ownership I believe.

We are now in FFP covering only the Xia ownership, a year ago it included the last Lerner year and the first 2 of Tony.
