Re: Globalstar "Financial Exposure" to Qualcomm

Ed Snyder said:

"Financial Exposure. As of March 26, 2000, Qualcomm had $621 million in receivables from Gloabalstar. In May, Qualcomm replaced a $100 million vendor financing commitment to Globalstar with a $500 commitment, of which $482 million was outstanding as of May 5. This implies a total financial exposure to Globalstar of approximately $1 billion"

Steve Malsin asked on S&P 500:

Snyder on Q!'s exposure to G*: do others arrive at $1 billion in the aggregate? I thought that the $500 million off vendor financing (that Snyder says represents an increase from $100 million), simply reflected the conversion of OUTSTANDING accounts receivable to vendor financing. Thus, this did not represent an increase in exposure but only a deferal of an existing liability.

Would anyone care to comment on Steve's question?
