You are tasked with performing a detailed financial analysis of two Jamaican companies: Honey Bun Ltd and Consolidated Bakeries Ltd. More specifically, you are to prepare a single comprehensive report which addresses the following requirements:

1. You are then to prepare a detailed trend analysis discussion for BOTH companies over the same period. Your analyses should reference the results of the ratios calculated and must incorporate the use of graphs/charts. Your discussion should go beyond simply stating the trend observed, as majority of the marks will come from your ability to explain or justify the trends observed and discuss their implications for the business. You should utilise information from the notes to the financial statements, other sections of the annual reports, or from other relevant sources to support your analyses. This is especially crucial where you observe significant movements in any of the trends (whether positive or negative). The discussion of the trend for each ratio should be done in one to two welldeveloped paragraphs, and each company should be discussed separately.
