RE: Not good! -Tebers

RE: Not good! -TebersTebers, In a previous post you wrote "...I suppose that's why most analysts say PTI's accounting is so conservative. Since the Mova acquisition, that's close to $15m US / year that could go to EPS....with the purchase of Mova, It follows that they will switch to US GAPP reporting at some point." You indicated that most Canadian companies follow US GAAP - I assume that you are speaking of Canadian pharma companies? I don't understand how the decision to use U.S. GAAP vs. Canadian can be so arbirtrary. For comparables purposes I would think that they would want to follow US GAAP to allow a comparision to US contract manufacturers. But they are a Canadian company after all. So is it 'simply' a matter of whichever you choose is ok, just as long as you disclose it?!
