back to article Red Hat rolls along in Q1

    IF their fiscal period runs from March to Feb, then FY 2008 would be 03/2007 to 02/2008. FY 2009 would be from 03/2008 to 02/2009. Companies to not need to follow a calendar year. The company I work for starts FY 2009 in July.

    Paris because she has date issues as well!
