Didn't the law change about a quarter or so ago, that earnings can not be taken until items are sold ? I recall companies like AMAT making a big deal about this. Just asking?

Zeev, "No I think that the $131 MM in accts receivable is money owed for shipments in the last 81 days, and that is an increase from the March quarter where that figure stood at still a too high, 73 DSO." Oh boy, now that's not pretty at all. Think about it-- almost three months to collect your bills?

You are correct re SNDK not recognizing sales until sold through to end user. As for royalties, they recognize an estimated number each quarter. Then, every 6 months, they get the actuals and adjust (usually upward). This accounted for the surprising 21 cent to 33 cent Q-Q from Q1-Q2.
