I am following the bidders for this project. Can you clarify their accounting terminology, please: i.e. sale target is 10 bn. How can revenue target be 7bn. ? tia

Pon
sales of units = backlog, when the project is completed and transferred = revenue
Jay
Sales target for the project is 10bn, but the revenue recognized in 2016 will be 7bn or 70%. The remaining 3bn or 30% will hit the books in 2017 (if at all).
