"Auxiliary" and "additional" both say almost the same thing, so I'd
lose the "additional" part.

And I wonder whether this additional sentence really adds something
important to the text, since it doesn't say what and when will be
displayed in addition.  So maybe we don't need this addition at all?

Thanks.
