<p>I would make one modification. We do not say why we do not
consider a worst-case scenario likely to occur, and we see a high
funding scenario as unlikely. I would simply stop the sentence at
...scenario seems unlikely. and drop why we believe that. It is
suggested in the first sentence, and there is no gain from going
on the books with the "if there are....".</p>
