I have been aggressive in building the revenue volume in the division. As a result, I am happy to report that we have increased the number of new credit card customers as a result of an aggressive marketing campaign.

We have purchased as much of these goods as possible in order to improve profitability. I’m also happy to report that our vendor payment problems have improved. We are nearly caught up on our overdue payables balances.
