Definitions of terms used in Edgar Online I-Metrix

I asked Edgar Online I-Metrix what “cross calculated” meant in their financials of companies, and this is what I learned:

a.       Original – This  is as the word says original data for the period.

b.      Amended – Company updated the financials of a recently filed period by filing a 10Q/A or 10K/A

c.       Preliminary – Data coming from 8K

d.      Restated – This is flagged when a company updated financials for a historical period in a more recent filing.

e.      Cross Calculated – More than one document is used to generate a particular period number. This is mostly the case with Cash flow statements for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Qtrs as companies only report YTD numbers.

I hope this is helpful.  Rita
