Comment on another teams annual report.

ANNUAL REPORT FOR STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING (Post your report as a pdf or a link if you have dropbox) by May 7th and then come back and respond to at least one other annual report.

Corporations report the state of the organization to their owners (stockholders) on an annual basis. Sometime after your first year of operations, you may be asked to conduct an annual meeting with members of your class acting as stockholders. Your instructor will assign the actual length and format of the oral presentation. The annual meeting is used to communicate the condition of the corporation to the owners and is a public relations vehicle for the general public, investment bankers, and prospective stock purchasers.

Each team will be expected to prepare a short Annual Report to its stockholders and post here for "stockholders" and the instructor. You should check the annual report section in the library to get a more complete idea concerning what should be included or visit a few corporations to see their reports. Some items that the firm should include in the written portion are: a brief synopsis of sales and earnings trends; an explanation of start-up problems and how they are being overcome; a general statement of the financial health of the firm; and a discussion of dividend plans and policy, expansion plans, and future prospects, etc.
In addition to this brief narrative of operations, you will need to include the financial report for your firm. The financial report includes, at a minimum, an income statement, balance sheet, statement of changes in financial conditions, and explanations that include comparisons to prior-year data. This listing is not meant to limit other financial information you may want to include in your report. Since all financial reports use the previous year with which to compare current performance, use the beginning balance sheet for Quarter 0. For an annual Profit and Loss statement, multiply the quarter 0 sales and expenses times 4 to obtain a full year of profit and loss information for the previous year.

Each member of each team is responsible for analyzing the annual reports of the other teams and asking questions on this discussion. Include in your post your Airline Name.

HINT:
Do not feel you must "tell all" and reveal all your future plans in detail. Likewise, you may merge certain expenses on the financial statements you prepare, e.g., under Marketing Expenses you could include promotions budget, advertising, marketing research, and salespersons expenses.
