>>+$38mm in positive cash flow

Do you know how to bridge from the positive cash flow to the losses? If that positive cash flow is in fact correct, and I don't know that it is, there must be enormous non cash or non operating expenses. Surely they ain't depreciation, so that means that either they have stunning non operating expenses (i.e. interest on debt) or non cash expenses such as amortization of goodwill.

Or they very aggressively classified the overhead and marketing expenses as non operating. Hmm.
