If the amount of the claimant company's F1qualifying profits for the claim period (calculated in accordance with F2subsection (3A)) is less than the amount of the claimant company's deductions allowance for the claim period (determined in accordance with section 269ZD(6)), subsection (1) has effect as if step 1 was modified as follows—

Step 1 Calculate the claimant company's F1qualifying profits for the claim period in accordance with F2subsection (3A).
