(c) any controller of the dependant has no assets of the same description of the relevant class, or has assets of the same description of the relevant class and their value is less than the permitted limit applicable to that controller in relation to those assets;

then, for the purposes of such determination, there shall be added to the permitted limit applicable to the dependent in relation to the assets referred to in subparagraph (a) above an amount equal to the supplementary amount or, if there is more than one such controller, to the aggregate of the supplementary amounts, determined with respect to any such controller in accordance with Part I of this Schedule, subject where the controller is not the society, to the modifications specified in subparagraph (5) below.
