Diversification of our sources of funding in recent periods has contributed to an overall reduction in our average cost of borrowings in recent fiscal periods and has allowed us to maintain sufficient interest margins and achieve our liquidity goals, as well as maintain funding stability. We seek to reduce our average cost of long-term borrowings through improved credit ratings and by diversifying our borrowing profile.”
