I took a look at that, what it's done is included the brokerage and
stamp duty in the line which, IMHO, should just be the total of the
actual share price * quantity. In other words that subtotal line is
the same as the total line further down. The *average* price quoted
is correct - 1.83 cents from memory.

Our back office people agree with me that it's illogical and will take
it up with the supplier. They don't know how long it's been like that;
apparently there have been some recent changes to the system.

Thanks.

Regards, fIM.
