This scenario is where "forward looking statements " would appropriately apply .
The Company has,a PO for xxxxxxx. They know the value of the contract and most likely have a binding finalization date attached to it.
If the product moves without delay, the quicker the payment and the sooner it shows up on financials.
A forward looking statement ( with all boilerplate disclaimers) would effectively let the investing public know that for instance $250,000 worth off sales have occurred.
