Deffered Revenue or Net Temporarily Restricted Assets
Deferred revenue traditionally refers to cash which has been received for some restricted condition
which has not yet been met. Under the new Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.116 issued
by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), most of these funds will be held not as deferred
revenue, but as an addition to temporarily restricted net assets.

To determine the ratio, take the Deferred Revenue and divide by the Cash + Savings - or - take the
Temporarily Restricted Net Assets and divide them by the Cash + Savings.

If deferred revenue or temporarily restricted net assets exceeds cash and savings, you may be spending
restricted cash for purposes other than those which the funder intended, or using monies designated for
future purposes (such as magazine subscription fulfillment) to meet current expenses.
