Obviously the abuse of using pro forma results occurs not when companies like Nokia provide them in tandem with and clearly delineate them from GAAP/IAS reported net income but when companies provide the pro forma result and promote them to a misleading degree, as ocurred here in the U.S., and some companies even completely neglected mentioning the GAAP net result in their verbal description of the reporting period's performance in their quarterly press releases, instead leaving it to the reader to locate the number for himself buried at the end of the press release in the abbreviated income statement. Per Lindberg's complaint about Nokia being misleading is ridiculously disingenuous. He should know that for the quarterly period's results he is complaining about that Nokia's cash flow figures tell the real story. His analysis of Nokia is so spectacularly one-sided that I wonder why. With Nokia's stock up around 100% from its September low, I can understand that he would be frustrated because his "sell" recommendation, which he kept all that time, doesn't look so good and his clients may have been hurt. His name is also unequivocally Swedish. Perhaps he has a particularly strong nationalist streak in him. (He has been recommending Ericsson since the summer.)

Ouch, seems this is much too much for Pelle-Boy?? <A study undertaken by Scottish-based financial researcher Company Reporting Ltd reveals 9% of 400 companies it surveyed in the UK adopted pro forma accounting during 1999 to 2001, an increase of 3%. Of the 78 large companies assessed, 28% used pro forma accounting> Just imagine the overcrowded short term memory: 1. <A study> 2. <9% of 400 companies> ...(hmm..something like 36 companies??) 3. <in the UK> ........................Hens, please leave 4. <pro forma> 5. <1999 to 2001> 6. < increase of 3%> (3% of 9%??, like 0.027%, or 3% of 400 companies,12, 3% of what??) 7. <Of the 78 large companies> (the pain increases, after that 3%) 8. < 28% used pro forma accounting> (most are clearly lost, please return to step 6) Who is left??? 0.027%,3.000%,9.000%, 28.000% or 78.000???Please look at the number you like the most. If you get annoyed at all the zeroes in of x.000%, please contact your local chemist and learn about pollutions, ppms and ppts and sperm counts. Pelle-Boy??? Ilmarinen Anyway, hens are smart, roosters are more funny and clearly more ridiculous
