Using the 5 previous years of publicly available financial statements from the company you selected, complete an analysis (also called a horizontal trend) of up to 5 key financial categories. Just like you did in Week 1 with P&G's financial statements. This is based on the financial statement numbers (not ratios) - e.g. total assets, cash flows from operations, etc.

You should prepare the analysis using excel to do the math. Your final presentation of the variances can be in whatever format you think best reflects your work. You can use the excel file, graphs, prepare a powerpoint or a video. But, you must submit a spreadsheet of your calculations.

Remember to interpret your results. What is the trend? Is this good (positive indicator)? Is there cause for concern? Where else should you look or what other steps would you take to fully evaluate what you determined?
