SCO's Combined Schedules of Assets and Liabilities and Statements of Financial Affairs, as text
Sunday, April 06 2008 @ 09:02 PM EDT

Groklaw member ausage has done something very useful, putting together the information in several SCO bankruptcy filings to make what he calls a "Combined Statement of Statement of Financial Affairs and Schedules of Assets and Liabilities for The SCO Group, Inc. & SCO Operations, Inc." The idea is to give us a clearer big picture.

It's all the information submitted as Statements of Financial Affairs and Schedules of Assets and Liabilities for both The SCO Group and SCO Operations, combined into one html file, color coded to show where the materials come from, minus the instructions, boilerplate, and disclaimers. Also addresses are redacted. He did it all by hand, which is so much work, I'd never have dared to ask him to do it. But he did, and now we all can benefit. I love how Groklaw works.

We've had these filings as PDFs since October, when SCO first filed them, but we'd never done text versions. We'll be doing that also, as separate text versions, but first, thanks to ausage's initiative, we have all the schedules SCO filed merged into one document so you can get the whole picture. It's the first time we have had all the creditors listed as text, minus the addresses. The idea is to make it easier to figure out SCO's actual financial situation at that point in time. I placed it on a separate page, because it's much too long for normal placement. Enjoy! And do please let me know of any errors, omissions, or typos. And thank you, ausage.

His notes explain further:

The following information has been taken by combining financial information from multiple filings in the SCO bankruptcy case in a effort to present a clearer picture of the SCO situation....

The information in Schedule F, Unsecured Non-Priority Claims, for SCO Opertions, Inc. has been updated with the information from the Amended Schedule F, Docket #390. The update schedules shows both the original and the new values reported and the net changes.

The information present here has been created by manually transcribing the original PDF files. While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the transcription process, errors may have occurred. Please refer to the original PDF files to verify the accuracy of any information.

Large amounts of text explaining the information required by the bankruptcy laws and regulations has been redacted, as well as most of the notes, disclaimers, reservations and warnings expressed concerning the information presented. All address information has been redacted to showing only the city and state/ country.

The content here is colour coded to indicated the origin for the information.

Here are the PDFs, and as always, for anything where accuracy is vital, go by the PDFs:

130, SCO Operations, Inc. Schedules A-H, Summary of Schedules, Declaration Concerning Debtors Schedules; Part 2
131, SCO Operations Statement of Financial Affairs;
132, SCO Group, Inc.'s Schedules A-H, Summary of Schedules, Declaration; Part 2 and Part 3
133, SCO Group, Inc.'s Statement of Financial Affairs
390, Amended Schedule F, Unsecured Non-Priority Claims

We tried a couple of versions to try to make it fit well, without having to scroll left and right too much. But it's a lot of information on one page, and if you have any difficulty with it rendering in your browser, please let me know.

THANKS ausage!

Tremendous amount of work there! I hope yours and PJ's eyes are still functional after all of that editing!

BTW, I use fairly large type and only about 3 of the tables require scrolling. Amazing how much information you were able to squeeze into readable tables like that.

Question: SCO's Combined Schedules of Assets...
Authored by: tce on Monday, April 07 2008 @ 12:06 AM EDT
The Exhibit B-2 - Checking, Savings, or Other Financial Accounts

Shows a table of balances of different currencies: USD, GBP, and EUR.

The total does not give units, or any foot notes. I have not checked the pdf's,
but dangerously assume that it would look the same.

So, the question might be, what was the date and exchange rate used to normalize
all three into one (unlabeled) USD? sum total?

$90,400 for an expert they were too late to use
Authored by: dredd on Monday, April 07 2008 @ 05:01 AM EDT
I saw the payment to Gary Pisano for $90,400.00 and couldn't remember who he was. I googled "Gary Pisano SCO" and came back to this article from PJ.

http://ww w.groklaw.net/articlebasic.php?story=20070608220125752

PJ said:


As for SCO's experts in this case, Novell says this:

Here, the expert testimony offered by SCO's witnesses is not based on sufficient facts or data, employs the wrong method, and does not apply the method reliably to the facts of this case. In addition, the expert reports of Evan Ivie and Thomas Cargill are not even from the current litigation, but from SCO v. IBM to which Novell is not a party. They are therefore improper in this case.
As for Gary Pisano, Novell says bluntly, "Mr. Pisano is not qualified as an expert, and his proffered testimony lacks the requisite foundation for admissibility on summary judgment." That doesn't, by the way, mean he couldn't become qualified; I believe Novell is saying SCO failed to take the proper procedural steps to qualify him to serve in a legal sense as an expert in this particular case. Paul Moxley also "is not qualified as an expert in this matter," Novell says, and "his testimony is inadmissible hearsay". Ditto Christine Botosan. In any case, SCO is too late with these experts reports, even if they did qualify as experts in these matters. You'll recall Novell has also filed a motion to strike a Mark James Supplemental Declaration, with two new expert reports attached, filed on May 30 (due May 18) and Novell wrote:
The James Declaration attaches over 60 pages of expert reports from Christine Botosan and Gary Pisano to which Novell has not had any opportunity to respond. SCO provided no warning to Novell that it would be submitting this new evidence on the eve of the hearing, and has not provided any excuse for why the expert reports were not filed along with its May 18th opposition papers. Indeed, SCO did submit conclusory declarations from Drs. Pisano and Botosan with its original opposition papers.

$90,000 down the drain!

"SCO Source" and Schedule G
Authored by: ais523 on Monday, April 07 2008 @ 07:37 AM EDT
Section G is confusing me somewhat. There is a "SCO Source"
(presumably SCOsource, but I don't know for certain) listed as a contract that
SCO have with Cymphonix. However, I was looking for SCO's famous contracts with
Sun and Microsoft, and it isn't entirely clear where they are. There are two
contracts with Microsoft listed; one is a "License and Distribution
Agreement" for a TCP/IP stack, and the other (presumably the one which has
been discussed a lot here) is a "Software License Agreement" for
Microsoft Xenix and Unix. It's the contracts with Sun that confuse me: a
"3rd Party Software Agreement" with no software involved listed, and a
"Maintenance Agreement" for Sun Java Support; these are different
contracts from the ones with Microsoft, and don't seem to include the large
contract that is often mentioned together with the SCO-Microsoft contract. Am I
missing something? Where have the missing contracts gone?

SCO Subsidiaries
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, April 07 2008 @ 08:53 AM EDT
With the exception of SCO China, it looks like the other subsidiaries are 100%
owned by SCO Group. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't appear that the
funds channeled through/to the subsidiaries were broken down.

That is, the subsidiaries should report all disbursements/payments, identifying
the payee and amounts.

Veritas???
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, April 07 2008 @ 11:48 AM EDT
Can anyone guess why they are paying Veritas, a corporation that hasn't existed
for years, for "Development work to be performed by Veritas" ?

SCO is not trying to spend Novell's $ - SCO's Combined Schedules of Assets and Liabilities...
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, April 09 2008 @ 08:04 PM EDT
They paid twice as much to insiders as to creditors. (3 vs 6 million.)

And I just love that 2.5 million asset of inter-company receivables.

Sure, we had a great quarter look at all our deliverables, (to our office in
some unknown country.) We should be seeing great revenue. (Once we loan them
the money to pay us with.)
