>GAAP is pretty clear on revenue recognition guidelines...

As a CPA and former auditor I must say that I totally disagree with your statement.

TO MANDRAGORAN

You are right about the GAAP rules. Large contracts like these usually stretch out over a long period. If they would have followed the "PERCENTAGE OF COMPLETION RULES", which allows you to only book revenues when is it earned, they would have been okay.
