Debtors represent the amounts due to an entity for goods sold or services rendered or in respect of other similar contractual obligations, but do not include the amounts which are in the nature of loans or advances. Loans represent the claims of an entity in respect of such contractual obligations as the money lent. Advances represent payments made on account of, but before completion of, a contract or before acquisition of goods or receipt of services.
