The term "capital employed" has been interpreted as comprising issued share capital, repayable Exchequer advances and other long-term capital. Bank overdrafts and non-capital Exchequer grants have been disregarded. The figure of £2,401,871 shown above for An Foras Talúntais is made up as follows:—

(i) value of property transferred by the Department of Agriculture to An Foras Talúntais

£172,429

(ii) the amounts in the Capital and Endowment Funds of An Foras which were created out of the US Grant Counterpart Fund

£1,889,062

(iii) the amount in the Capital Grant Account created out of non-repayable State grants

£340,380
