Early Earnings Report?

It has been stated, in previous posts, that Novell is releasing
their 4th Qtr Earnings Report early. But, are they really?

The following information is from Novell's web site.

Quarter Ending Press release of earnings.
Date Date EPS
1st 01/27/96 02/21/96 $0.17
2nd 04/27/96 05/29/96 $<0.15>
3rd 07/27/96 08/22/96 $0.17
4th 10/26/96 11/26/96 * ?

* scheduled
? anybody's guess -- (Mine is: $0.19)
Assumptions: $400 million sales * 0.16 / 344 million shares

As I view the number of working days, excluding holidays, between
the quarter ending date and the press release of earnings date, the
time lapse seems pretty consistent.

I think the better question to ask is, "Why did Novell consider
delaying the earnings report until December?"

Comments, anyone?
