Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
Thank you very much. At this time, (Operator Instructions). Our first question comes from Ed Aaron with RBC. Sir, your line is open.
Ed Aaron - RBC
Thank you. Good morning guys. Hey, couple of questions. I was hoping you could elaborate on a comment you made in your prepared remarks about generating some cash in the fourth quarter from efforts to divest or monetize assets?
Peter B. Hamilton
Yes, Ed, it’s Peter. We are currently working on bowling center sale lease backs. The timing of that transaction is still unclear because we’re involved in the, what I hope to be, final phases of the due diligence and of course, it always take two people to agree to a transaction. So that is one aspect.
We also continue to work to divest non-core assets and you’ve seen in prior quarter's evidence of that. And we continue to work on other aspects of that. And of course, as I alluded to in my comments, we are considering an asset backed arrangement for our revolving credit line agreements.
Ed Aaron - RBC
Okay, thanks for that clarity. And then also as far as the working capital goes with your receivables and your inventory, could you help us understand any risks of write-downs in either of those areas?
Peter B. Hamilton
Well, I think that question goes to really the health of the dealer network. And so we’re talking about, your question refers perhaps to the quality of our receivables and the quality of our inventory. And although it is true that our inventory is aging to some extent and although it is true that the dealer network feels the same pressures that we do as manufacturers in the boating business, we have not seen the need nor have our accountants that have any significant increases in the reserves in either of those two accounts.
Ed Aaron - RBC
Okay and then last question before I open it up. Any concerns about health of your suppliers? I mean just by way of discussion, I think you source engine blocks from GM and apparently there’s now a talk of (inaudible) risk with them. I mean is that -- when you kind of think about your supply chain how much risk do you see that in respect?
Dusty McCoy
I think the risk in our supply chain is not going to be materially different than as any other manufacturing company as it looks around its entire supply chain. Of course, MerCruiser business is important to us and GM is the block supplier. They also supply the primary competitor in the marketplace, Volvo, and therefore, we both would be under the same risks if GM were not to make it.
