Yes.  As is all information about most companies true assets.

Ever heard of leveraged buyouts?  Do you know why each and every one has
always made instant millionaires out of the people who engineered them?
It's simple.  *They* knew what and where the real assets were, while the
public and the stockholders didn't have any clue.

You will never get an accurate accounting of either costs or assets of
any sizable company that has anything other than lunatics at the helm.
It just isn't done old boy.
