The cash flow statement from the last quarter is now available on-line:

biz.yahoo.com

I'm looking forward to seeing some analysis from everyone here. Already I see that Accounts Receivable only decreased by $25M while the shrinkage in deferred revenues hit cash by almost $50M.

Looks like when you ignore one time events like bad accounts and also the purchase of marketable securities that you still see about $100M of cash burned up by operations in the quarter. (But they have $250M of cash and equivalents and $350M of longer term investments).

Seems to me that they still have a strong balance sheet but are no longer in shape to make major acquisitions.

Regards,

Conan
