Correct me if i am wrong but the numbers appear to me to be small in relation to csco's overall business. This is where management is tested. "Equipment makers derive several advantages from so-called vendor financing arrangements, the terms of which often remain under wraps." Under wraps could include equity postions etc. This market is making me nervous so for the fourth time the bottom is being reached I hope.

Seven Steps to Wealth 1. It is important for CSCO to keep its stock price rising, 2. So that employees can receive more and more income from options exercises and the government can give more and more tax benefits to Cisco. 3. Cisco can then use the tax benefits, which are the main growth component on its cash flow statement, to secure the financing which the capital markets won't provide to Cisco customers. 4. Cisco customers will then be able to purchase expensive Cisco equipment on credit from Cisco. 5. Cisco can then claim more revenue growth, 6. So that investors will bid up the stock price. 7. Now go back to step 1.
