Two software companies, seven years apart, arrived at the same arithmetic. In 1990 Oracle told the market its revenue had grown fifty-four percent and its earnings one percent, restated quarters it had already reported, posted the first loss in its history, and watched its bankers cut its credit line by more than half. In 1997 Apple lost a billion dollars in twelve months, was rated CCC, and was told in public that it should be shut down and the money returned. Both lived. This is an account of the men who did the counting — the chief financial officers, the bankers, the auditors, the lawyers — and of what the surviving record actually shows about how close each company came to the end of its money. Covers Lawrence Ellison, Steve Jobs, Jeffrey Henley, Fred Anderson, Oracle, and Apple.
