In addition, we have received favorable news relative to two of our customers, GM and Chrysler. While both customers filed for bankruptcy during the second quarter, we have been notified by each of them that our pre-bankruptcy invoices will be paid and, therefore, we anticipate having no or limited bad debt exposure."
