The state sells the future revenue stream to a consortium of banks for the present value of the 10 million, and deposits the cash in its General Fund. How should the financial condition analyst view this financial arrangement?

c. the analyst should assess the impact of the revenue as a one-shot item that balanced the current year's budget, but that might leave a gap in future year budgets
