Review the Long-term Liability section of the following financial statements.

Pick 2 interesting items you see in the Long-term Liability section. Review the notes to the financial statements to determine if these items are mentioned.

Next review another company in the same industry (ie if I picked Petco I could look at Petsmart)

Write a memo explaining what you found interesting, why it was interesting to you and what you found in the notes. Next explain if both company's report their Long-term Liabilities the same. Are there any differences? What are they and why do you think they have different liabilities.
