It's the analysts' job to build estimates for the company's future financial statements, and they sounded as if they were going to be pretty much completely defeated in doing so by the lack of financial statements for the acquisitions on top of the change of the method of recognizing revenue. The whole thing about the revenue recognition issue is that one could ignore it by just concentrating on cashflows rather than earnings. It seems to me that cashflow from operations will be unaffected by this change.
