In the normal course of business, Lucent sells trade accounts receivable and notes receivable to unaffiliated financial institutions with and without recourse. Certain sales with recourse are accounted for as secured borrowings and amounted to $1,037 at September 30, 1999. As a result of these recourse transactions, these receivables remained in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and increased cash flows from financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows by $1,037. See Note 13 for further discussion of sales of receivables without recourse.
