How Revenues get Recognized

Retailers can recognize revenues under following circumstances:

• We have enough evidence of an arrangement;
• We provide product or service to the customer;
• We collect fees from customer; and
• The amount of fees is fixed.

Retailers sell products with “street date”. Street date is the earliest date selling products.  Retailers recognize revenues: (1). On the later of the street date; (2). On the products sold date.
