corporal, the HUGE is your wording. The orders in backlog have associated payments. See PPHM 10-K's.
They very probably sold them for some reason and AVID III was at that time still in the books. Cancelled later when orders where delayed.
You confuse Cotara's potential deals (with nich players as PPHM intended) with CJ going to Japan (as was posted by others). Nobody ever said that there was a deal for Cotara.
