Go to the "Investor Relations" section of your company's web site and locate the Annual Report or form 10-K.
Respond to the following in 1-2 paragraphs:
Analyze the company's income statement for the past three years. Identify the trend (i.e. increase or decrease) demonstrated by total revenue, total expense, and net income (or loss) for this time period. Also, identify any major increases or decreases within the revenue and expense sections (if any). Cite numbers or percentages to support your response.
Analyze the company's balance sheet for the past two years. Identify the trend (i.e. increase or decrease) demonstrated by total assets, total liabilities, and total owners' equity for this time period.
Also, identify any major increases or decreases within the asset and liability sections (if any). Cite numbers or percentages to support your response.
Based on your analysis of the income statement and balance sheet, discuss any areas of concern. Do you believe the company is currently in a strong financial position or heading into trouble? Support your reasoning.
Describe how the financial statements that you evaluated impact internal and external stakeholders. For example, how would this information be used in your company by its management and executives?
Also, who on the "outside" of the company would be interested in this information and how would it impact them?
