Projections are highly questionable.

>project positive cash flow in March

AOL projected $70m, a 6 month number.
Annualized - $140m - would be 122% improvement from
FY96 EBITDA of negative $115 (computed excluding Acquired
R&D charge and adjusted to net of the now excised deferral
and amortization of subscriber acquisition Costs.)

The 11/08 Washington Post quotes the CFO:
"Because we don't have any operating experience [with the
new strategy], there are uncertainties as to the
profitability of the subscription business"
