confusing phrase
Portuguese to English
Bus/Financial
I can't seem to make sense out of the phrase between asterisks in the following sentence:
Na medida da capacidade da ABC de compensar com lucros toda a perda daí decorrente, é aceitável a cessão, pela ABC, de créditos que detenha contra X e Y, *desde que por valor de mercado (ainda que com substancial deságio), a cessionário.* (I understand the part in parentheses. It is the remainder that has me confused.)
Thanks in advance.

at market value (although with substancial discount)
Jeanne,
You will have to invert the sequence of words a little to make sense. starting at : é aceitavel a .... . This is how I think it should read ...the transfer of credits retained by ABC against X and Y to an assignee is admissible, at market value (although with substancial discount).

[although] at market value (although at substantial discount) the assignees
the first although is in brackets because I wouldn't include it in the translation. It's what <desde que> means in this context (not since), but could also be <provided that>, but is superfluous and awkward in English.
