My post over on Yahoo! Looks to me that sequentially from 1Q2000: Income Statement: Gross Margins - increased to 25.8% from 24.9% Operational Expenses - increased to 18.8% from 18.5% Investment Income - increased to 7.3% from 3.0% Operating margins (adjusted to remove non-operating investment income) - increased to 7.0% from 6.4%. Balance Sheet: Two notable items - 1) inventories have increased - probably due to starting up its own manufacturing operation (raw material, work-in-process and finished goods where only finished goods existed before) 2) receivables are higher than I would have expected - terms of credit extended to customers should be examined further. (One possible explanation - Wal-Mart demands very favorable credit payment terms from its suppliers to keep its cash flow low.) Valuation Guy
