Refer to the Annual Reports for Approved Companies and access the Form 10-K. Review and study the following information related to stocks:

Identify and discuss the current types of stock, such as common or preferred stock, currently issued, and outstanding.

Include a narrative description along with the values and number of shares found on the balance sheet. Identify the presence of treasury stock and its impact on overall stockholders' equity. If the company does not have treasury stock, indicate the absence of treasury stock and provide some discussion as to why the company may not have purchased back any of its originally issued stock.

Review the notes to the financial statements to determine if the company has any convertible bonds and summarize the characteristics of those bonds. If there are no convertible bonds in the notes, discuss why a company may want to consider convertible bonds in the future.
