JMD, thanks for the reminder of Micro Strategy's woes (MSTR). I found this story covers the events at MSTR pretty well: upside.com Note that accounting problems had more to do with moving sales from one quarter back into a prior quarter: A brief article in Forbes in early March noted that in several instances, MicroStrategy had announced deals after a quarter was closed yet the revenue had somehow found its way back into the previous quarter. Clearly, the company needed a more sophisticated, granular set of accounting techniques. Which isn't quite the same as booking pre-paids as they come in. But, I get your point: conservative is better than the scary alternative. On WIND's recent quarterly results, corporate-ir.net there's an item under assets: April 30, 2000 Jan 31, 2000 Prepaid and other current assets 40,096 35,375 and this item under liabilities: Deferred revenue 55,712 49,401 Would you/Allen shed some light, on what those line items represent?
