lofalutin, higher receivables are ALWAYS a red flag on a balance sheet. For most manufacturing companies, it amounts to product you have shipped and taken revenue credit, but haven't yet received payment. Sometimes, it means CHANNEL STUFFING.

Yes, it does mean that money will LIKELY be coming your way, but the question is "when?". The risk is that the product never sells through and the company may have to take a charge against earnings at some point.

Now how this relates to ECIL is anyone's guess. I'd guess the question was asked for the CC, but I couldn't get access. I believe starting next quarter, that the CC will be broadcast over the internet.
