But at the beginning of the first year, they hadn't yet produced one, had they?

Then the numbers are meaningless, much like all other marketing. Still 
doesn't answer the question of first, or last of the year.

But 0 was the number of the invoice previous to your first one. You just 
didn't report it as income.


Logically (yea, I know, what's that?), the numbers listed can't sanely 
(yea, I know, what's that?) be anything but the serial number count at 
year's end.
