Cah and marketable securities at the end of Q3 of 98 totaled $336.990. Current liabilities were $99.545 million. The difference is $237.445. At the end of Q4 98 when current liabilities are paid which would be in January AMZN had $211.870 million but as of the prior quarter cash was $237.445. Therefore cash flow is a negative $25.575 million. These are the real numbers. Cash flow was in fact negative.<< Glenn, many companies define cash as readily available discretionary resources--that includes cash and short-term marketable investments. One should compare these two sections, net change in working capital during the same periods, i.e, 4th qtr.'98 to 4 qtr. '97. The Working capital from sources of funds and uses of funds is positive.
