Most recent quarterly report is here. It's an interesting read (as such things go), with charts which make the information easier to comprehend. The summarized information includes data on how long accounts continue to generate revenue and how their past revenue projections have panned out. I think the supplemental section is worth reading, particularly the supplemental section near the end which contains the charts.
