$20k of that, as called out by them is invoice debt. Aka they will are owed that amount but amount, they just have yet to get it from the distributor. Leaving them with the $216k number given.

> $20,000 in outstanding invoice debt

So why include this figure and call it a "total of $216,000 in debt" that excludes the $20k?

It's either intentionally misleading or lack of diligence in presenting the numbers.
