Okay, fair enough.

Can you please double check with the hardware guys if it really is
required that you do:

a = read(A)
b = read(B)

modify a
modify b
assign c

write(a)
write(b)
write(c)

And if that is the case, then try to make things as easy to read as
possible - e.g. by inlining the value of "c" and adding an empty line
between reads, modifications and writes as I did here.

Bjorn
