An increase in prepaids or deferred charges on the asset side would indicated a deferral of cost recognition. Bob, Thanks for your corrections, as I am not an accountant and am poor with financials. With respect to the above quote, there was a $1.2M increase in prepaid expenses on the asset side, from $3.2M to $4.4M. Does that translate to about 5 cents/share, or am I still reading this wrong? Another concern. If you take away the $75M loan from the current cash on hand of $98M, AMZN is left with only enough cash from the IPO ($23M) to run maybe another 2 1/2 quarters. After that, AMZN would be operating totally on debt financing. Gary Korn
