Guarantees
 
Jonway Auto guaranteed certain financial obligations of outside third parties including suppliers and dealers to support our business and economic growth. Guarantees will terminate on payment and/or cancellation of the obligation once it is repaid. A payment by Jonway Auto would be triggered by failure of the guaranteed party to fulfill its obligation covered by the guarantee. Maximum potential payments under guarantees total $1.9 million and $6.8 million as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. This is a reduction of $4.9 million from 2013. The guarantee expires in December 2014. Our performance risk under these guarantees is reviewed regularly, and has resulted in no changes to our initial valuations.
