http://www.icann.org/financials/preliminary-budget-30mar02.htm

has the follow about this:

"Should no RIR funding be received, ICANN will not only need to reduce even
further the projected surplus for 2001-2002 by the $496,000 revenues
budgeted during that year from the RIRs, but will also need to write-off the
$856,000 in accounts receivable attributed to revenues from RIRs booked from
the past two financial years. The combined reduction of $1,352,000 would
obviously result in a significant loss, regardless of what the ccTLDs
contribute in 2001-2002."

So, that would be $425,000 for half of the outstanding amount from previous
years and almost $250,000 for this year (assuming that the RIR's will pay
half of this years as well).

The RIR's paying 50% of the their fees has a major cash flow impact for
ICANN.
