(ii)
the total amount of his claim as at the date of the bankruptcy order;
(iii)
whether the amount claimed includes interest as defined under section 94(3) of the Act and if so, a separate identification of the actual amount that has accrued as at the date of the bankruptcy order and the rate at which and the period for which it was calculated;
