Hi Jacob - yes, cash flow is what I'm trying to get a handle on.

It's not generally fair to just subtract cash from cash to get new cash. If you look under CF from investing activities a huge flow goes back and forth. So you need to look at entire position.

I confess, I am not finished my homework here. It's messy.

John.

Jacob,

At the 1Q01 report, they had 4.8 B in cash and equivalents and short-term investments. They just announced 3.5B in charges. Is it fair to simply subtract 3.5B from 4.8B?

No, part of the 3.5B charge is writing down inventory. Although, they paid for the inventory with cash, writing 2.5B of inventory off the books isn't a cash charge.
