Sigh, no matter how many time I post this, there are always certain people that ignore it.

The financial report is the most accurate number that can be obtained. By law it has to be accurate. It does represent shipment figures, but one can extrapolate a certain amount for shelf stock and units in shipment.
NPD, VGC, GFK, etc are ESTIMATES.
The values in the financial reports represent precise data, NOT ESTIMATES.
