There's one complication to this though which are the two historical reverse auctions that have different interest rates for their loan units. I know that one of those unusual auctions was #40 (K*** P***). Does anyone know which the other one was? It was #8 J* Rich****

For clarity the loan numbers for the two discrepancies are: Loan A #89 S*********ire Loan B #66 Y*****ire chris I hope that helps. #89 amortises over 20 years with with a 13.25% borrower rate. After three months - entering the transition between new system and old - each £100 loan unit has had capital repaid of £0.25862708 so your remaining principal is £99.74137292 #66 after three interest free months, the loan amortises over (the remainder of ) 9 years with a borrower rate of 15%. After the 5th payment, with two repayments of capital, - entering the transition between new system and old - each £100 loan unit has had capital repaid of £0.93679711 so your remaining principal is £99.06320289 In a previous post, Chris mentioned how this would have been rounded for each loan unit and then summed to present a figure to you to indicate your holding going into the transition. If the remaining principal was rounded up, to £99.75 for loan A and then multiplied by 26 units that's £2593.50 displayed to you as representing your holding. Under the new system, the display is a more accurate view of your holding, given by the rounding of (26 x £99.74137292) or £2,593.27569605 This is displayed to you as £2953.28 It's important to recognize that the underlying reality - your holding - has not changed between the two systems. It's just that under the new system, the view you have of your holding is less susceptible to a systematic accumulation of rounding errors - and therefore more accurate. Nobody has lost any pennies.

Thanks Guys
That all makes sense. At least I can add a column to my spreadsheet to absorb these rounding situations. Like you say it should be less with the new system.
