"71% in the first quarter of its 2010 fiscal year"

Nice to see Business week writers have DeLoreans.

Marty, we have to go BACK, to the FUTURE!

I've worked at companies whose fiscal years begin one or two quarters before the calendar year begins. So, for example, Q1 2009 might begin July 2008, although starting in October is more likely.

It's weird, yes, but it is bean counters we're talking about. I've certainly never heard an explanation for the practice that made much sense at all.

Looks like another case of "big oil" or "big drugs". Hard to read with any credibility with, as it is mentioned, allegations coming from someone convicted of embezzlement.

By the way, I love my Glocks, my personal weapon, a 23, and my dept-issued big bore 21.
