Financial Analysis of a Corporation

I have to make financial analysis/report of the health of that corporation.The reports should contain brief background information relating to the corporation that would be deemed beneficial to potential investors.It should also contain an analysis from an accounting/financial perspective regarding the strength and/or weaknesses of the corporation that you have chosen.The analysis should be based on the corporation's most recent annual report, or 10Q, and any other related information that you feel is relevant to the future success of the corporation.The last part of the report should be your recommendation regarding the potential inclusion of the corporation in your stock portfolio.The recommendation should be accompanied by a summary that supports your decision regarding investing in the corporation.

In summary, the report should contain the following:

-Overview of the firm's background

-Analysis of the firm's financial performance

-Critical accounting information/disclosures

-Summary of findings

-Recommendation regarding the firm's investment potential

The reports should be a minimum of seven page, and should not include the financial statements for the corporation, as I can obtain that information in evaluating your reports. Be sure to include ratio analysis and also an explanation of any unusual findings regarding the company's financial performance such as an extraordinary gain or loss, discontinuation of a segment of the business, cumulative effect of an accounting change, restructuring charges, etc. Basically you are preparing a report for the investment community for them to better evaluate whether they should invest in a specific company or not.
