CHINA STATIONERY AND OFFICE SUPPLY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2009
NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
China Stationery and Office Supply, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in February 2002. The Company’s primary business, through its operating subsidiaries based in China, is to develop, manufacture and market office supplies including stationery, hole punchers, staplers, pens and
pencils, rubber stamps, felt markers and numerous other items, which are sold through a worldwide network of distributors in China.
The Company’s business operations are carried on by its subsidiary, Ningbo Binbin Stationery Co., Ltd. (“Binbin”). Binbin was organized on January 29, 1998 under the laws of the People’s Republic of China. (“PRC”). On July 27, 2001, Binbin and its majority shareholder formed Ningbo Binbin Style Commodity
Co., Ltd (“NBSC”) under the laws of the PRC. The primary business of NBSC is to manufacture and sell special office supplies and promotion products in the PRC. NBSC is 90% owned by Binbin.
On January 8, 2006, a Delaware corporation named “China Stationery and Office Supply, Inc. (the “Intermediate Subsidiary”) acquired 90% of the registered capital of Binbin. At the date of the acquisition of Binbin, by the Intermediate Subsidiary, both Binbin and the Intermediate Subsidiary were under control. For
that reason the transfer of 90% of the stock of Binbin to the Intermediate Subsidiary did not meet the definition of a business combination defined by SFAS 141, “Business Combinations, as amended”. For transfers of assets under common control, the Company follows the provisions of Appendix D of SFAS No. 141. In accordance with Appendix D of SFAS 141, the receiving entity for transfers of net assets and exchanges of shares between entities under common control should report results
of operations for the period in which the transfer occurs as though the transfer of net assets or exchange of equity interest has occurred at the beginning of the period.
On May 26, 2006, the Company completed a share exchange in which it acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of the Intermediate Subsidiary. The transaction was treated as a reverse merger. Accordingly, Intermediate Subsidiary is treated as the continuing entity for accounting purposes and the historical financial information prior
to the merger is that of the Intermediate Subsidiaries.
NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
In preparing the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Significant estimates, required by management, include the recoverability of long-lived assets and the valuation of inventories. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions in the PRC. The Company performs periodic evaluation of the relative credit standing of financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment strategy.
5
Bad debt reserves
The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects the Company's best estimate of the amounts that may not be collected. This estimate is based on reviews of all balances in excess payment terms, typically 90-120 days; however, the Company extends credit terms up to 12 month for certain customers. Based
on this review which includes customer credit worthiness and history, general economic conditions and changes in customer payment patterns, the Company estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected. Management reviews its valuation allowance on a monthly basis.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at lower of cost, as determined on a weighted average basis, or market value.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Maintenance, repairs and betterments, including replacement of minor items, are charged to expense; major additions to physical properties are capitalized. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method for financial reporting
purposes, whereas accelerated methods are used for tax purposes.
Long-lived assets
The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No, 144 “Accounting for the impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, which became effective January 1, 2002. Under SFAS No. 144, the Company reviews long-term assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of those
assets may not be recoverable. The Company has not incurred any losses in connection with the adoption of this statement.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets consist of “rights to use land and build a plant.” According to the law of China, the government owns all the land in China. Companies or individuals are authorized to possess and use the land only through land use rights granted
by the Chinese government. Land use rights are being amortized using the straight-line method over the lease term of 50 years. The method to amortize intangible assets is a 50-year straight-line method. The Company also evaluates intangible assets for impairment, at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets, other long-lived assets and, goodwill
is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows form these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectibility is reasonably assured.
6
Reportable segments
Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. All of the Company’s assets are located in the PRC. The Company has two reportable segments based on their product lines.
Accounting for income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.109 (“SFAS 109”) which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities
and their respective tax basis, In addition, SFAS 109 requires recognition of future tax benefits, such as carry forwards, to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not and that a valuation allowance be provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Foreign currency translation
The functional currency of China Stationery and Office Supply, Inc and Subsidiaries is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). For financial reporting purposes, RMB has been translated into United States Dollars (“USD”) as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect
at the balance sheet date. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing for the period. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital translation occurred. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity as “Accumulated other comprehensive income”. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included
in accumulated other comprehensive income.
Statement of cash flows
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes
in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
New accounting pronouncements
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The current GAAP hierarchy, as set forth in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement on Auditing Standards No. 69, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles, has been criticized because (1) it is directed to the auditor rather than the entity, (2) it is complex, and (3) it ranks FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts. The FASB believes that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities
7
New accounting pronouncements
because it is the entity (not its auditor) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. Accordingly, the FASB concluded that the GAAP hierarchy should reside in the accounting literature established by the FASB and is issuing this Statement to achieve that result.
This Statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The adoption of FASB 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) simultaneously issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations (2007 Amendment),” and SFAS 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB 51.” Both standards update United States guidance on
accounting for “non-controlling interests,” sometimes referred to as minority interests, which interests represent a portion of a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) have been working together to promote international convergence of accounting standards. Prior to promulgation of these new standards there were specific areas in accounting for business acquisitions in which conversion was not achieved.
The objective of both standards is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in “business combinations” and consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards. In business combinations it is accomplished by establishing principles and requirements concerning how an “acquirer” recognizes and measures identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interest
in the acquiree, as well as goodwill acquired in the combination or gain from a bargain purchase; and determines information to be disclosed to enable users to evaluate the nature and effects of business combinations. In consolidated financial statements the standards require: identification of ownership interests held in subsidiaries by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled and presented in consolidated financial position within equity (rather than “mezzanine” between liabilities
and equity) separately from amounts attributed to the parent, with net income attributable to the parent and to the minority interest clearly identified and presented on the face of consolidated statements of income. The standards also provide guidance in situations where the parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary changes while the parent retains its controlling financial interest. The standard also provides guidance on recording a gain or loss based on fair value in situations involving deconsolidation
of a subsidiary. Entities must provide sufficient disclosures that distinguish between interests of the parent and that of the non-controlling interest.
Both standards are effective for fiscal years and interims beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (that is January 1, 2009) for entities with calendar years. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The standards shall be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure
requirements, which shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 141R and No. 160 will have an impact on the Company's overall results of operations or financial position, unless the Company makes a business acquisition in which there is a non-controlling interest.
8
NOTE 3- ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable are uncollateralized, non-interest bearing customer obligations typically due under terms requiring payment within 90-120 days from the invoice date. However, the Company does extend certain customers credit terms up to 12 months. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to the customer. Payments
of accounts receivable are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the oldest unpaid invoices. As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, the balance of the account receivable is $3,012,587 and $3,695,657, respectively.

NOTE 13- STATUTORY COMMON WELFARE FUND
As stipulated by the Company Law of China, net income after taxation can only be distributed as dividends after appropriation has been made for the following:
(1) |
Making up cumulative prior years’ losses, if any; |
(2) |
Allocations to the “statutory surplus reserve” of at least 10% of income after tax, as determined under China’s accounting rules and regulations, until the fund amounts to 50% of the Company’s registered capital; |
(3) |
Allocation of 5-10% of income after tax, as determined under China’s accounting rules and regulations, to the Company’s “statutory common welfare fund”, which is established for the purpose of providing employee facilities and other collective benefits to the Company’s employees; and |
Allocations to the discretionary surplus reserve should be approved in the shareholders’ general meeting.
The Company incurred a loss in the three months period ended June 30, 2009. Therefore, Company was not required to allocate the “statutory surplus reserve”
NOTE 14- INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method, such that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognizes for the unexpected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial reporting amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities based on currently enacted tax laws and tax rates
in effect in the China for the periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period plus the change during the period in deferred income taxes. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets and liabilities, respectively, will be realized. Therefore, there are no deferred tax assets or liabilities for the year ended June 30, 2009.
Since the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries (“Binbin” and NBSC”) are Sino-joint venture enterprises, under the Chinese tax regulation, they are exempt from corporate income tax. Accordingly, the Company has not accrued income tax for these subsidiaries for the three months period ended June 30, 2009.
12
NOTE 15- EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares
that
would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There are no common stock equivalents available in the computation of earnings (loss) per share at June 30, 2009.
NOTE
16- CURRENT VULNERABILITY DUE TO CERTAIN CONCENTRATIONS
The Company's operations are carried out in China. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the People Republic of China (PRC), and by the general state of the PRC economy.
The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in the North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results
may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2009, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held by major banks located in the PRC of which the Company’s management believes are of high credit
quality. With respect to accounts receivable, the Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and customer payment practices to minimize collection risk on account receivable.
There were two vendors who accounted for more than 5% of the Company’s total raw material purchases during the six months period ended June 30, 2009. Account payable from these vendors was $1,645,720 that amount represented 11% of the total account payable as of June 30,2009.
The Company had three major customers who accounted for more than 5% of the total sales for the six months period ended June 30, 2009. Accounts receivable from these customers was $1,086,811that amount represented 20% of the total account receivable
as of June 30, 2009.
The Company’s sales are heavily dependent on exports sales to North America and Asia for the six months period ended June 30, 2009.
NOTE 17- CONTINGENCIES

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. |
Proviso Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” includes certain forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements represent management’s present expectations regarding the future. There are many risks and uncertainties that, if realized, could cause management’s expectations to be an inaccurate
prediction of the future. Some of those risks are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”
The forward–looking statements contained herein speak only as of the date hereof. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with regard thereto or any change in
events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
Overview
Prior to acquiring a listing on the OTC Bulletin Board in June of 2006, the Company’s Chinese subsidiary, Ningbo Binbin Stationery Co., Ltd. (“Binbin”) had established itself through a period of 15 years as one of the top stationery manufacturers in China. It was recognized by Forbes China in 2004 and 2005 as one of the
“Top 100 Growth Potential Small and Medium sized private enterprises.”
The Company’s product line consists of four categories, which include traditional office stationery and supplies, electric office supplies, office peripheral devices and furniture, and teaching aids. Traditional office supplies include manual staplers, staple removers, pencil sharpeners, hole punchers, rubber stamps, correctional tape,
pens, and paper stationery sets. Electric office supplies include electric staples, electric hole punchers, electric paper shredders, electric pencil sharpeners, and vacuum cleaners. Office peripherals include desktop organizers, drawer organizers, bookends, desktop computer accessories, and partition accessories. Teaching aids include protractors, triangles of assorted degrees including 45-degree, 60-degree, and 90-degree, compass sets and additional drafting supplies.
In the late 1990s, the Company began to focus its business model on export sales. It offered the maximum number of products at highly competitive prices. The effort was successful as it established market presence in over 30 countries in five continents. In 2001, the Company became the first private company in Ningbo and among the first in
China to obtain approval from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation to establish its own import/export company. Its notable foreign customers include Tesco Stores Ltd. (UK), Elmer’s Products, Inc. (US), Daiso Japan, and Romeo Maestri Figli S.p.A. (Italy). Today export sales account for nearly 90% of total sales.

Results of Operations- For the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008
Revenues
In recent years, because of relaxed regulation as well as international reaction to the dynamic growth of the Chinese economy, the exchange rates related to the Chinese Renminbi have become much more volatile than was the case at the start of this decade. For a company such as Binbin, whose business primarily consists of exporting
high volume, low margin items, the volatility of exchange rates presents a significant obstacle to sound business planning. In the first instance, because we incur our cost of goods sold in Renminbi, but price our exports in Dollars, an increase in the exchange rate between the Renminbi and the Dollar can have the effect of eliminating our already modest profit margin on a sale. But if we adjust the sales price of our products to offset our increased manufacturing cost, the effect is to reduce
demand for our products.
This double impact of the falling value of the Dollar is the primary explanation for our poor results in the first half of 2009. The reduced competitive position of our products caused us to realize only $5,266,722 in net sales during the six months ended June 30, 2009, a reduction of $3,432,217 or 39% reduction from the level of sales
that we realized for the same period of a year earlier. And even on those reduced sales, we realized $376,471 in gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $515,716 for the same period of 2008.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold, which consists of labor, overhead and product cost, was $4,890,251 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, representing an decrease of $3,292,972 or 40% as compared to $8,183,223 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The contracted cost of goods sold was primarily in compliance with the decrease in our
sales volume. The price of several of our key raw materials increased. In particular, the world market for non-ferrous metals, such as zinc, copper and nickel, became substantially inflated. This increased the manufacturing cost of many of our products.
Gross Profit
We had a gross profit of $276,471 and a gross margin of 7% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to gross profit of $515,716 and gross margin of 6% for the same period of 2008. As noted, our gross margin basically remains largely unchanged, given the fact that our sales during the corresponding period of 2009 fell
by $3,432,217 as compared to the same period of the year earlier. Our gross margin level reflects the effect of the falling value of the Dollar over the past several years.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The dramatic decline in our sales revenue did have the effect of reducing our selling, general and administrative expenses for the first half of year 2009 by 20%, as compared to that of the first half of 2008. Our overall SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $711,805, representing a decline of $174,285 for the
same period of last year. The primary reason for the reduction is the fact that the ratio of our sales expenses to our net sales remained relatively static reflecting our efforts to increase the efficiency of our marketing operations.
15
Net Income
Although the current worldwide recession has alleviated some of the stress on our margins, the decline over the past several years has been so severe that we do not expect it to be reversed in the near future. Therefore we do not expect to reverse the decline in our profit margins until
our long-term program of replacing low margin goods with higher margin products is fully implemented.For all the above reasons, we incurred a net loss of $691,900 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, an decrease of $69,561 or 9% from the net loss of $761,462 for the same period of 2008,
Our business operates in Chinese Renminbi, but we report our results in our SEC filings in U.S. Dollars. The conversion of our accounts from RMB to Dollars results in translation adjustments, which are reported as a middle step between net income and comprehensive income. The net income is added to the retained earnings on our balance
sheet; while the translation adjustment is added to a line item on our balance sheet labeled “accumulated other comprehensive income,” since it is more reflective of changes in the relative values of U.S. and Chinese currencies than of the success of our business. During the first six months of 2009 the unrealized gain on foreign currency translations added $37,014 to our accumulated other comprehensive income.
Results of Operations- For the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008
Revenues
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we generated net sales of $3,392,429, as compared to net sales of $5,559,770 during the three months ended June 30, 2008, representing a decrease of $2,167,341 or 39%. For the reason described above, the impact of the falling value of the Dollar is the primary explanation for our poor results
in the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold, which consists of labor, overhead and product cost, was $3,098,615 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, representing a decrease of $2,106,531 or 40% as compared to that for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. This decrease in cost of goods sold was primarily in compliance with the change in our sales volume.
Gross Profit
As noted, our gross margin basically remains largely unchanged, given the fact that our second quarter sales fell about $2.1 million as compared to the same period of the year earlier. Our gross margin, 6% in the second quarter of 2009 was already low, reflecting the effect of the
falling value of the Dollar over the past several years. While the Dollar performed continually weak in recent months, the almost unchanged gross margin for the second quarter of 2009 reflected the fact that the prices of several of our key raw materials have been volatile. In particular, the world markets for non-ferrous metals, such as zinc, copper and nickel, have become substantially inflated. This has affected the manufacturing cost of many of our products.
16
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The dramatic decline in our sales revenue did have the effect of reducing our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month period by 17%, from $451,067 in
the three months ended June 30, 2008 to $372,214 in the three months endedJune 30, 2009. The primary reason for the reduction is the fact that the ratio of our sales expenses to our net sales remained relatively static reflecting
our efforts to increase the efficiency of our marketing operations.
Over the past twelve months, we reduced our short term bank loans from $16,767,000 at June 30, 2008 to $14,932,300 at June 30, 2009. At the same time, our effective interest rate fell also, so that our interest expense for the second quarter of 2009 was $221,699, compared to $320,256 for the second quarter
of 2008. We expect that our borrowing and the related interest expense will remain high until our revenues return to prior levels and provide us positive cash flow from operations.
Net Income
For all the above reasons, we incurred a net loss of $229,550 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, an decrease by $12,177 or 6% from the net loss of $217,372 for the second quarter of 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On June 30, 2009 we had a working capital deficit of $7,497,082, having added $457,878 to our deficit since December 31, 2008. The primary reason for the increase in our deficit is the decline in our cash and cash equivalent account. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, our cash was reduced by $1,085,241 or 59.7% from $1,816,510
as of December 31, 2008. Reducing account payables by $424,169 contributed to the reduction in our cash level as of June 30, 2009. At the same time, our accounts receivable was reduced by 27.2% to $3,012,587, as a result of the decline of our sales, compared to $4,139,081 as of December 31, 2008.
Our liquidity is affected by certain financing arrangements that we have made, involving certain suppliers of our raw materials and other companies with which we have mutual assistance relationships. These relationships manifest themselves in two ways, both of which are common practice in the Chinese business environment. First,
we have on our balance sheet “advances to suppliers” totaling $2,020,310 representing funds that we deposit with our suppliers in order to assure ourselves of on-time supplies of raw materials.
The second financing arrangement related to our business operations involves a series of guarantees, some mutual, some in exchange for business advantages. At June 30, 2009 Binbin was the guarantor of a total of 1,551,840 in debt of non-related entities. We made these guarantees for
the same reason as supported our loans to suppliers. The debts we are guaranteeing are one-year loans without amortization, and our guarantees apply to principal payments only. The term of the guarantees is through August 31, 2009. China’s banks encourage this kind of cross-guarantee arrangement as a means of expanding the lending base of its customers. The situation does, however, increase the risk to our assets, as we face the possibility of being called upon to satisfy the debts we have
guaranteed. We believe, however, that the debts we have guaranteed are likely to be paid, and that the arrangements provide us more benefit than risk.
We believe that our banking relationships provide us adequate liquidity to fund our ongoing operations and modest growth. Nevertheless we are currently exploring opportunities for increased funding in order to implement certain special projects that we hope will enhance our product offerings and the efficiency of our operations. We
have not, however, entered into any new financing commitments.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
