I was unaware of the percent of revenue fine. What happens to a company with negative revenue? Seems like Hollywood Accounting could be pervasive here.

Revenue, not profit. Revenue cannot be negative.

Nitpick: Sure it can, but it's a corner case. You can recognize revenue one quarter, and have to issue a refund to a client another quarter. If that was your only revenue, you have negative revenue for the second quarter. :)
