j b, No customer pays up front all in cash. Therefore there is definitely a correlation between a/r and deferred revenue. As deferred revenue increases the only corresponding offsets are to either cash or receivables. At least these are the only offsets I can think of.

If, e.g. a customer paid 20% down with the contract the company would book that to cash and the remaiiniing 80% to receivables. Just because rev isn't able to recognized doesn't mean it doesn't become part of the balance sheet.
