(b)the investment trust had sufficient information about the non-reporting fund referred to in paragraph (1)(a) to enable it to prepare computations of reportable income for the non-reporting fund for every accounting period which, if the non-reporting fund were a reporting fund, would be a reporting period ending within the period mentioned in paragraph (1)(b),

(c)the investment trust has prepared such computations, and

(d)any excess of the investment trust's share of the reportable income of the non-reporting fund over the investment trust's share of the distributions made by the non-reporting fund is included in the amount available for distribution by the investment trust for each accounting period of the investment trust which falls within the period mentioned in paragraph (1)(b).
