[1] Due to the adoption of the new revenue standard, the sales return reserve as of July 31, 2018 of $28.2 million is recorded in Contract Liability (Deferred Revenue). In prior periods, it was recorded in Accounts Receivable, Net on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
[2] The adoption of the new revenue standard resulted in the discontinuance of the historical practice of presenting accounts receivable and deferred revenue balances on a net basis for some of our subscription licensing agreements where we have invoiced a customer in advance of the related revenue being recognized and payment has not yet been received. As of April 30, 2018, the amounts that were netted down from accounts receivable and deferred revenue were $59.5 million.
[3] As noted above, prior period amounts have not been adjusted under the modified retrospective method.
