In line with the industry practice, we typically have a long receivable collection cycle. As a result, our cash provided by our sales in any given year may not be sufficient to fully meet our operating cash requirements in that year. We anticipate that our operations may continue to encounter such timing differences in cash flows in the near term. We used and will continue to use available financing means, including bank loans and receivable selling arrangements, to provide sufficient cash inflows to balance such timing differences in our cash flows. We believe that we maintain a good relationship with our major lending banks, and the limits of our bank borrowing facilities have been raised by the lending banks from time to time. We do not expect any difficulty in obtaining bank borrowing facilities to provide cash inflows to balance these timing differences in our cash flows. We also anticipate that near-term working capital and other capital requirements will increase due to our increased sales activities, increased research and development efforts related primarily to 3G and TD-LTE products as well as base station RF products. We anticipate meeting such increase in our near-term working capital and other capital requirements primarily through our internally generated cash and financing means available to us, including short-term bank loans and sales of accounts receivable.
We have procured bank borrowing facilities sufficient for our business operations from various banks, and we may obtain additional bank borrowing facilities. These bank borrowing facilities are generally short-term facilities. We may procure long-term bank borrowing facilities if there are material capital requirements and we anticipate we will have sufficient cash resources to repay the loans. We budget our capital periodically to manage our operational cash flow and meet our bank loan repayments. We believe that our cash flows from operations and current levels of cash, combined with fund available to us through financing, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months.
