This accounting flap was no mystery. 01/02 08:00 PR Newswire JDS Uniphase Closes Acquisition of IBM Optical Transceiver Business 12/24 13:26 Market News Network JDS UNIPHASE CORP: IBM CORPORATION - JDS Uniphase Corporation To Acquire IBM Optical Transceiver Business IBM buys and sells businesses either in part or in whole every quarter. So is it a one time event or part of the business model? If IBM was excluding one time expenses and reporting on a Pro Forma basis then I could see the flap but they report on a GAAP basis so it all ends up going to the bottom line one way or the other. Anyway, the JDSU deal was no secret.
