For those w/o easy access to Tucows financial statements... I'm looking at
the balance sheet on page F-4 of the Tucows 2002 Annual Report. For the
year ended Dec 31, 2002, "Prepaid Expenses and Deposits" was $1,951,086 and
"Customer Deposits" was $1,957,657. Feel free to go look up more current
info on your favorite financial site.
