The Company receives bank notes from certain of its customers in China to settle trade accounts receivable. The Company may hold such bank notes until maturity, exchange them with suppliers to settle liabilities, or sell them to third party financial institutions in exchange for cash. The Company has entered into arrangements with financial institutions to sell certain bank notes, generally maturing within nine months. Notes are sold with recourse, but qualify as a sale as all rights to the notes have passed to the financial institution. The Company sold $10 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 to financial institutions, $4 million of which remains outstanding and will mature no later than the third quarter of 2018. The collection of such bank notes are included in operating cash flows based on the substance of the underlying transactions, which are operating in nature.
