Anyone out there?

Is there a good reason for the very high expenses for sales and marketing? For all the money spent, the gain in sales is fairly modest. For the year, the increase in license revenue was $4 million, while the cost of sales and marketing was nearly $24 million! That's a lot of three martini lunches. I assume the service and maintenance sales are to existing customers, but even if we include that, net gain in sales is $9 million. Am I missing something?

Also, does anyone know what "deferred revenue" is as a liability on the balance sheet?

As a whole, at $5 per share, you are picking up the company at only half that amount due to the ample cash on hand. What are people thinking, now that the stock is so low after being much higher in the past?
