| This happens every couple of years doesn't it? I think it comes of
365 not being evenly divisable by 52.
RE: .1 Sure it will (one hopes) mean the income numbers look better
but that may very well be offset by the fact that expense numbers will
be higher as well.

You should not be entering information like that into a notes
conference without permission from the source. It is irresponsible of
you to start such rumors. Moderators, please delete note 2508.2!

I didn't understand this until I looked at the fiscal calendar in the most
recent phone book. How is it that a week (May 23-29) in which there are *no*
days of a month (June) can be a part of it?
Is this an accounting ruse which needs no correlation with reality? :-)

Re .4
The situation your described about May 23-29 in Fiscal June is
consistent with the last weeks of July, August, October, November,
January, February and April being in the following fiscal months.

| 2508.8 | When is the next 53 week FY ? | ELMAGO::JMORALES | | Mon May 24 1993 19:51 | 17 |
| Re; .7
Now that you mentioned it:
This FY'93 started on June 28th and it contained three (3) days
June 28, 29 and 30 that were part of June (last month of FY'92).
This FY'93 will end with three (3) days July 1, 2 and 3 that are
part of this FY'93 June.
Next FY'94 starts on July 4th and ends on July 2nd.
I guess every now and then we will have a 53 week FY, however we
will not have a 51 week FY ever.
Can someone inform every how many years we will have a 53 week FY
or when is the next 53 week FY ?

well, 52*7 = 364, which is one day short (not taking leap year into account)
so maybe it's every 7th year with an occasional extra one thrown in to
cover the leap years (or maybe a 7 week June every once in a great while)

| The last time we had an FY with 53 weeks was FY88. The next is FY1999.
Then FY2003, FY2010, FY2016, FY2021, FY2027, FY2032...

| My investigations concerning the divisibility of 365 by 52 have,
in fact, yielded results that will no doubt perplex the DEC accounting
department for years to come. For users of OpenVMS, try this simple
experiment yourselves.
Construct the following DCL command file using the text editor of
your choice:
$ SET VERIFY
$ X = 365/52
$ SHOW SYMBOL X
$ EXIT
Now execute the command file:
$ X = 365/52
$ SHOW SYMBOL X
X = 7 Hex = 00000007 Octal = 00000000007
$ EXIT
I agree with .3 - the mathematical assumptions made by .2 were
indeed incorrect!

calendar year (1992) which had 53 Thursdays.

Per the corporate bylaws, Article 6, Section 1, the fiscal year ends
on the Saturday closest to June 30.
The first 3 quarters are made up of months with 4,4, and 5 weeks, the
last quarter is either 4,4, and 5 or 4,4, and 6.
So now you know..
