Mike--

fabulous job

It sure helps everyone to have a terrific model to work from. :)

official name should be "Project Network"
so be it

net margin should be clarified to exclude one-time gains and charges
ditto

cash minus debt
cash assets, short term liquid investments, and all other liquid assets substituted for plain cash. My preference would be to use total debt, not just short term debt, but I leave that up to you.

possible additions
Your comments led me to think it might also be useful in the upfront basic facts to have a flow ratio, as an indication of how well the company manages its cash (and its suppliers/customers)and a formula cited for the cash king margin.

flow ratio: (current assets-cash*)/(current liabilities-s.t. debt**)

*cash again would be cash and equivalents, marketable securities, and short-term investments. Short-term debt would include notes payable and the current portion of long-term debt.

cash king margin: (operating cash flow-capital expenditures)/sales

percentage of convertible debt/total debt

I'll gather the comments all together and then post the revision.
