The sequence (taking Visi into account) for deferred revenue is: Dec '97 (Borland) $0 Dec '97 (Borland + Visigenic) $$8.03m Mar '98 (Inprise) $13.5m While over the same period, "Other Current Liabilities" has the sequence: Dec '97 (Borland) $20.4m Dec '97 (Borland + Visigenic) $$13.7m Mar '98 (Inprise) $9.2m Taken together they are pretty much a wash, so it is more likely that this is just an accounting "bucket" adjustment, rather than anything significant. My mistake was comparing deferred revenues between Borland-without-Visigenic, and the Inprise numbers for the end of the last quarter ($0 to $13m) At this level it is probably business-as-usual deferred revenues for service contracts that get amortised over a year. david
