AR are from historic sales, not pending or unreported sales. Lockhart. Thanks for clarifying this for me. AR is money customers owe, the money not yet collected for a past sale. Most reputable cos. don't account for this in the reported rev. but as AR. I should have mentioned "deferred revenue going forward as partially indicated by AR". Actually, there were quite a few contracts and impending sales late in the qtr., the co. chose not to report as either rev. or AR but deferred them knowing that it already made the cut-off rev. Had push come to shove, the co. could have sent the equipments and booked as rev. (if customers paid for) or AR.
