PART IV, LINE 2B:CESI OFFERS DEBT MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS TO ASSIST CLIENTS IN PAYING THEIR UNSECURED DEBTS. FUNDS RECEIVED FROM CLIENTS PARTICIPATING IN THE DEBT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM ARE DEPOSITED INTO VARIOUS DEPOSITORY ACCOUNTS. FUNDS ARE THEN TRANSFERRED FROM THE DEPOSITORY ACCOUNTS INTO A SEPARATE FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS ACCOUNT (THE FBO ACCOUNT) ON A DAILY BASIS. FUNDS RESIDING IN THE FBO ACCOUNTS ARE DISBURSED TO CREDITORS AND PORTIONS OF THE FUNDS ARE DISBURSED TO CESI'S OPERATING ACCOUNT AS CONTRIBUTIONS MADE TO CESI BY CREDITORS AND/OR CLIENTS.
