Ann: Quarterly Activities/Appendix 4C Cash Flow Report, page-26

Backlog is at the date of the report - based on q1 stating that (see quote below), and the $33m order falling just after June 30th. It is not really confusing when you factor in the size of announced contracts. We have forex fluctuations to take into account as well as revenue recognition policies. We don't know how much is hardware and how much is other services such as warranty, or consulting or future upgrade promises etc.

Method 2 is obviously correct IMO as at today's date. However the q1 backlog was defined "Order backlog of $22 million as of the date of this report (committed contract payments due to
be paid this year), and a $200 million+ in sales pipeline." So there may have been a slight shift in backlog definition there.
