Hi Guys:

What I find very interesting and even...bullish are two items on the balance sheet. The first one, A/R is at $1.8 million, up from $431k as of March 1997. The second one, and even more important is deferred revenue in the amount of $2.5 million, up from zero as of March 1997.

The receivable means that Valence is owed money for something, in the past it could have been shared research expenses with Delco. But what about that deferred revenue? This means that they have received cash, or are owed funds, A/R, for products, (or services). If the products have not been delivered to the customers then there is no reason to book the receivable. Therefore products have been produced and maybe even delivered and accepted by the customer(s). Probably no contract has been signed and Vlnc management will not recognize revenue until a contract is signed. This is all speculation on my part, but still there are two line items on the balance sheet that need explaining.
