(e) either:

(i) you have satisfied (whether at or before that time) a condition of release specified in paragraph 307-80(2)(c); or

(3) The amount under this subsection, in respect of a *borrowing, is worked out using the following formula:

where:

outstanding balance means the outstanding balance on the *borrowing at the time of working out your *total superannuation balance.

value of all supported super interests means the sum of the *values at that time of all *superannuation interests in the *regulated superannuation fund that are supported by the asset or assets that secure the *borrowing.

value of your supported super interests means the sum of the *values at that time of each *superannuation interest of yours that is supported by the asset or assets that secure the *borrowing.
