Facebook earned $US355 million in net income in the first nine months of 2010 on revenue of $US1.2 billion, according to documents that Goldman Sachs is providing to clients.
Goldman began hand-delivering copies of the 101-page private placement memorandum for the Facebook offering to its wealthy customers a little after lunchtime Thursday in New York, according to a person who received a copy.
The Goldman customer said he received a separate six-page financial statement containing information on the social networking firm.
The document provides some of the most detailed financial information to come to light about Facebook, which Goldman recently valued at $US50 billion in a separate, $US450 million funding.

That's about a buck per user. Is it worth the $50 B valuation. Regardless, FB is one hell of a buy when it goes public--just to ride the wave and then dump until it solidifies (if ever). FB = Yahoo of wall street circa 2012?
