Apple will reveal its fourth quarter and full financial year 2006 results on 18 October. The company is likely to reflect on another bumper year for sales, with successive quarters of high achievement marking 2006.

However, the year has had its challenges, not least the ongoing investigation into stock options irregularities in Cupertino. According to the last three financial statements, Apple has sold 3,693,000 Macs and 30,660,000 iPods so far this year.

Speaking in July, Apple chief financial officer Peter Oppenheimer predicted fourth quarter revenue of about $4.5 to $4.6 billion.

How can Apple be ready to reveal its 4th-quarter results when it's only October? The quarter hasn't even ended yet!

Actually, the quarter ended 3 days ago.

Financial quarters often do not coincide with regular calendars.

In the US, the fiscal year starts October 1st.

Not all companies share the same fiscal year, as they choose their own fiscal year dates. The US Government's fiscal year begins October 1, as does some company's. However, for the majority of companies in the US, their fiscal year coincides with the calendar year.

Maybe its the 3rd Quarter results, since apple has yet to release them (due to the options investigation). 4th Q and yearly results surely are released in November?
