Please look at 2 recent corporate annual reports from 2 different companies (one annual report per company), both within the same industry. One report should come from a U.S. company, the other report should come from a company based outside the U.S. (preferably a company that has its stock traded on a U.S. stock exchange [NYSE, NASDAQ, ASE, etc.])

Name of corporation Date/period of the report Amount of cash dividends per share declared (if any) The Current Ratio for the most current year and the previous year (formula: Current Assets divided by Current Liabilities) The number of common stock shares issued and outstanding Debt Ratio/Equity Ratio for the most current year and the previous year, expressed as a percentage, i.e. 40%-60% (formula: Total Liabilities divided by Total Assets, then compare with Total Stockholders' Equity divided by Total Assets, with the two numbers adding up to 100%). To explain, if Assets = 15,000,000 Total Liabilities = 6,000,000 and Owners/Stockholders Equity = 9,000,000, then the Debt Ratio/Equity ratio is 40%-60% The Net Profit Margin for the most current year and the previous year, expressed as a percentage (e.g. 11.2%) - formula: Net Income divided by Net Sales/Net Revenue Name of the audit firm that conducted the audit ("Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm") Required: Make one additional comment for each company that you think may be useful to someone who reads your project report, such as "the company had record profits" or "the company is opening new locations in Asia" or whatever.
