Sorry guys had to jump into this conversation since I have a degree in Accounting. I was mistaken by this amount also. Looks like if the FASB rules from 1999 still apply that the entry is reported in the equity or capital section of the Balance Sheet. Also if you read further down the stock subscription receibable is not reported as an asset because it is not tied to revenues or liabilities. Once the cash is collected the stock subscription receivable account is credited and cash is debited. So we will receive $3,700,000 but we will also issue more stock. Looks like more dilution. Just did a search on Yahoo "accounting for stock subscriptions receivable" to find this information.
