>> I'd be interested to learn from an accounting expert if it would have been appropriate for the company to issue pro forma numbers even though the TV Guide deal didn't close until after the reporting period. If it isn't appropriate, that explains why it wasn't done. If it is appropriate, that it wasn't done does make one wonder why.

If it wasn't a legal necessity, I doubt that Henry would have told us what Gemstar's sales were, much less pro forma numbers incorporating TV Guide. Unfortunately I feel he's more in the mold of Howard Hughes than John Chambers.

For those tracking my inquiry to gmst investor relations, it should not come as a surprise that I didn't receive a call back. They're probably still waiting for Henry to approve their response on when the earnings report will be issued.
