NOW = 1.7 Million Active Subscribers | 3 Months from now = Guess What

You do know that the population size was growing as of February 1, 2012 right? You do know that "growth" is not the same as "dwindling" right? You do know that a US publicly listed company cannot just lie right?

Um yeah...Those stats were from the launch month (mid dec to mid jan) but you go on pretending you know what you are talking about...

Nope. Those numbers (1.7 million plus active subscribers) and growing are as of February 1, 2012.

See the signature of the CFO who signed off on this? Of course, I'm sure he would lie to the SEC right?

ELECTRONIC ARTS INC.

Dated: February 1, 2012

Eric F. Brown
Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer"

exhibit 99.1 Press release dated February 1, 2012, relating to Electronic Arts Inc.’s financial results for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011.

Right from the link you gave man!

Sigh. This again? OK here my 500th lesson on how to read financial reports.

Quarterly financial numbers (audited) are as of and for the period ended (as specified). Income statements are for the period ended. Statements of financial position are as of (snapshot) the period specified. These statements are then announced on an 8-K, to be followed later by the 10-Q. The announcing 8-K is done through a press release. The executive officers (CEO/CFO) presents the earnings, prior to the formal filing of the 10-Q, which is in the hands of the auditors.

The press release occurs around the same time as the investors' earnings call, both of which contain a summary of the results, and key statistics for NON-FINANCIAL/ACCOUNTING numbers, which the management sees as key reasons for the quarterly results. 10-Qs are very limited in the presentation of operational/management numbers (such as subscription numbers), because they can't be audited (against IASB standards). So they are presented instead, in the press release announcing results, and are dated as of the date of the press release.

You're welcome.

I get it you're trololing right now, awesome job man

p.s. The "legal requirements" for filing a 10-Q are here.

Incidentally, I'm busy preparing 10-K filings as we speak (annual reports).
