As of 29 June 2012, we are able to confirm 3539 DVDs definitely sold of "Sita Sings the Blues" from our online store (which is our main distribution channel), with some more sold in person at filmmaker conference appearances and other gatherings. The sales report below covers only the period up to when our original check was written, in November of 2010. So we still haven't actually crossed the 5000 DVD threshold specified for step payments. We are, in effect, pre-paying because we know we are are likely to eventually cross that threshold, if we have not already, and had already ordered our second batch of DVDs to make sure we don't run out of inventory.
