As a result of the Company’s cash management system, checks issued but
not
presented to the bank for payment
may
create negative book cash balances. When those checks are presented for payment if there isn't sufficient cash in the bank account, the checks would be honored by the bank with a corresponding increase to CUI's draw on its line of credit. There were
no
negative book cash balances included in the balance on the line of credit as of
June 
30,
2019.
 
The line of credit is secured by the following collateral via a security agreement with CUI Inc. and CUI-Canada at
