RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Margins

Accounting does not work this way.

Paying the expenses now will have no effect on the margins (they could buy the materials for the next 3 years and it would just go to inventory and would not effect margins)....unless XBC recognizes revenue on a percentage of completion basis which i am pretty sure they don't.

Moving forward those expenses wouldnt weigh on the bottom line in future Qs. Its a very shrewd and smart move if thats indeed what happened.. and based on what I know of Mr. Bombardier its very likely.

How does that work? It won't have a positive effect on this quarter but the next as they are taking up expenses that won't be required in subsequent quarter(s).
