ok you are saying that HP wants to loose less when loosing is inevitable. If I go by this theory, this obligation to components and contract may better be reasonably big.

Because small numbers in neither component levels nor contract obligations, won’t make a huge loss. I assume that small numbers in either of the above two factors are negligible relative to the original firesale losses.

But If it is a reasonably big number, then I am waiting to buy my touchpad.
