They get paid often before they pay their suppliers; that's one of their successes, managing their cash flow. But in accounting terms, income statement terms, payment and revenue recognition aren't equal: you can get paid in advance but not be able to recognize revenue until GAAP says you can. The money sits on your balance sheet as a liability, in essence, a debt you owe, to offset the cash asset....cause if you never ship the product, you have to send back the cash, right?
