In April 2021, we sold our corporate headquarters located in Sunnyvale, California, consisting primarily of land, buildings and improvements, for cash proceeds of $365 million. The assets sold had a net book value totaling $210 million. To facilitate an orderly transition to a new location, we executed short-term lease agreements with the buyer to lease back these properties. The agreed lease payments were below market rates and as a result we recognized an asset of $7 million for the difference between the fair value of the leases and the agreed lease payments. The cash proceeds, less direct selling costs, plus the fair value of the below-market leases, resulted in a net gain on the sale of these properties of $156 million. Depreciation and amortization expense related to property and equipment, net is summarized below (in millions):

LNTL is integral to our sales channel strategy in China, acting as a distributor of our offerings to customers headquartered there, and involved in certain OEM sales to Lenovo.

Deferred revenue and financed unearned services revenue The following table summarizes the components of our deferred revenue and financed unearned services balance as reported in our consolidated balance sheets (in millions):
| April 29, 2022 |  |  | April 30, 2021 |
Deferred product revenue | $ | 31 |  |  | $ | 59 |
Deferred services revenue |  | 4,140 |  |  |  | 3,873 |
Financed unearned services revenue |  | 61 |  |  |  | 71 |
Total | $ | 4,232 |  |  | $ | 4,003 |
Reported as: |  |  |  |  |
Short-term | $ | 2,171 |  |  | $ | 2,062 |
Long-term |  | 2,061 |  |  |  | 1,941 |
Total | $ | 4,232 |  |  | $ | 4,003 |
Deferred product revenue represents unrecognized revenue related to undelivered product commitments and other product deliveries that have not met all revenue recognition criteria. Deferred services revenue represents customer payments made in advance for services, which include software and hardware support contracts, certain public cloud services and other services. Financed unearned services revenue represents undelivered services for which cash has been received under certain third-party financing arrangements. See Note 17 – Commitments and Contingencies for additional information related to these arrangements. During the years ended April 29, 2022 and April 30, 2021, we recognized revenue of $2,062 million and $1,894 million, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue and financed unearned services revenue balance at the beginning of the respective periods. As of April 29, 2022, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations related to customer contracts that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied approximated our deferred revenue and unearned services revenue balance. Because customer orders are typically placed on an as-needed basis, and cancellable without penalty prior to shipment, orders in backlog may not be a meaningful indicator of future revenue and have not been included in this amount. We expect to recognize as revenue approximately 51% of our deferred revenue and financed unearned services revenue balance in the next 12 months, approximately 23% in the next 13 to 24 months, and the remainder thereafter. Deferred commissions The following table summarizes deferred commissions balances as reported in our consolidated balance sheets (in millions):
| April 29, 2022 |  |  | April 30, 2021 |
Other current assets | $ | 80 |  |  | $ | 86 |
Other non-current assets |  | 117 |  |  |  | 111 |
Total deferred commissions | $ | 197 |  |  | $ | 197 |
During the years ended April 29, 2022 and April 30, 2021, we recognized amortization expense from deferred commissions of $146 million and $101 million, respectively, and there were no impairment charges recognized. Other expense, net (in millions):
