What's the difference between the "provision for doubtful receivables" and the "allowance for doubtful receivables"? One seems to be for the income statement and one for the balance sheet. Why is the "provision" increasing while the "allowance" is decreasing? Is this because they're saying, we're financing more memberships, but the receivables are "higher quality" due to EFT? How does it benefit them by drawing down the "allowance" for doubtful receivables on the balance sheet? Bottom line: their cash flow is a lot more negative than you would expect from adding back their depreciation to their book loss.
