The accountants will figure it out. If EDIG amortizes the future amount it will be much easier to bury it in the financials. even if the settlement resulted in a lum sum payment of cash.

I would think that if we received a lump sum, even if it did not show up on the Income statement, it would show up on the Balance sheet.

Would be able to determine the approxiamte total amount which may have a mixture of income from other sources.
