It's a lot more. AOL used the SEC discussions as excuse to not provide
standard financials, but only items selected by AOL. So, for example,
still unknown are critical items such as gross margins and whether
reported EPS includes any cap gains, reversal of restructuring reserves, etc. Also not provided was any cash flow detail beyond
net 'operating' $53 million ($0.22/share) or any balance sheet
data other than total cash (presented without note that 35% of it
is from borrowing).

And so on. As is said, often the devil is in the details.........
