Revenue can be recognized in the future and thus affect cash flow calc.
That won't really affect cash flow.. If you have to recognize 1/12th of an annual subscription every month for GAAP accounting, you still have 100% of the cash up front. Your monthly income statement will only show 1/12th of the revenue, but the balance sheet will have an accrued revenue liability equal to the remaining period while cash is just.. cash.
