A question

Okay, so they didn't hit the numbers(s) they were suppose to. The reason given is that they're in negotiations with a buyer for their telecom related patents where the shortfall occurred. The question(s) I have, is why would this restrict their income relative to this aspect of their revenue? Is it due to them being in the last stages of the agreement(due diligence)(sign offs)(cheque clearing) or something else entirely? Can someone explain this to me , as even though I'm in the process of selling a building, I still collect/record the rent until the deal closes . At the close, the income is pro rated to closing date. I understand it's a way different business but cannot understand why it restricts revenue. Even if it's forward driven, you would record revenue and then adjust after closing. Does this mean the deal is imminent or am I missing something????? Thanks in advance for any clarification.

Thanks KBB161718192030 You seem like your in a much better place from your tone. This sequence of the miss due to a possible patent deal looks like bad theatre or a bad movie of the week. They didnt put their best script writers on it. I guess their to busy in trenches creating shows for all the streamers! You peaked my attention though with the AWS date. Could this be a three way deal between BB  ...more
