Perhaps he's speaking about Q2 2012:

I'm just wondering if we can touch on the cash balance, I guess first question is an idea of where the cash balance stands today or how collections have been to this point in the quarter?

Darren R. Jamison - Chief Executive Officer, President and Director

Yes, we really can't give you details on the collections. I think that -- nothing abnormal, either positively or negatively, but overall, our DSOs slipped 2 days last quarter which was disappointing. We hope to get that back this quarter and pick up 3 or 4 days to the positive. Nothing real earthshaking that several orders or several payments came in right after the end of the quarter. Again, of our 95 distributors, I think 93 are not public companies, so for them, paying 3 days later doesn't mean a whole bunch for us. Obviously when we take 4 snapshots a year, it seals the deal [ph]. So we continue to manage collections very closely. We're trying to manage everybody's credit terms and support the distributors' growth, but on the other side, not to open the subject to too much risk which is always a challenging thing to pull off. But in general, we would expect DSOs to come back again in Q3 and working capital swing back our way in Q3.
