During Fiscal 2012, the Company began the in-sourcing of its commercial credit function. This initiative consists of the transition from using a third party financial institution to settle credit transactions with its Commercial customers to processing those transactions internally, thus increasing the trade receivable balance when compared to the same period in the prior year.
