Rick and Moxa,
Was it a typo? In my opinion, FWIW, I think the letter would have been checked with a fine-toothed comb before it was released. So, I believe RG meant January.
Also, I do believe the impending USPTO exam has a lot to do with the payment amount/or method.
As far as the 5 licences in February are concerned, my feeling is they were signed, but no monies were received by the end of February and therefore could not be reported.
AIMHO, of course.
Stay positive :-)
