Message-ID: <200107261206.f6QC66Q25026@gocho.pm.org> Folks: Yesterday, I took a look at Microsoft's financials. http://www.microsoft.com/msft/ar.htm# I'm going to assume the audience hasn't had any accounting classes, so if you feel this post is a bit slow, I apologize. Anyway, Check this out ... Most businesses are sold for considerably more than the sum of thier assets. In other words, if you buy a TGIFridays resturant, then try to sell the building, food, chairs, tables, etc, you'll lose a heap of cash. This difference between value of assests and purchase cost is called GOODWILL, and is symbolized in intangibles - things like the current customer base, the ability to generate revenue, the "Value" of the employees (you don't have to spend 2 months hiring employees and ramping up to speed), the reputation of the establishment in the community, etc. On the books, Goodwill is typically depreciated over 40 years. According to Microsoft's Year 2000 Annual Report, every share of the company is worth, in total, about $40 Billion (That's called Market Capitalization, or "Market Cap" for those of us trying to sound cool.) However, Microsoft has $52 Billion in Assests, about $1 Billion in Liabilities, and about $40 Billion in market cap. (From what I can tell, the assets are physical assets - buildings, computers, vehicles, and cash in the bank. They don't seem to put a price on intellectual capital like code, which could be sold separately.) Now, once we take our $52 billion and subtract liabilities, then we can say that microsoft's total asset value is $51 Billion(*). But out Market Cap is only $40 Billion. That makes MSFT mighty attractive to a good corporate raider to buy & sell the thing piecemeal, but, more interesting ... It means that Microsoft's total GOODWILL VALUE is NEGATIVE 11 BILLION dollars. That's right, people think it's reputation, value of employees, and business model is worth NEGATIVE dollars. I just think that's funny. If you agree, feel free to circulate this around the internet. I think this would make much better spam than the fake virus warnings and mrs. fields cookie recipies, because I think this one is actually true ... regards, Matt H. (*) - This is a simplification. The reality is that microsoft has about 3.5 billion in Accounts Recievable [money people owe us], and if we were to liquidate the company, we'd probably end losing around 30% of that money to non-payment or collection agencies; but I'm going to assume we can sell intellectual capital for that much, or make it up in buildings (which are depreciated even though they go up in value.)
