  3. Part A. Introduction • CEO: Raymond V. Gilmartin • Headquarters: Redmond, WA • Ending Date of Last Fiscal Year: June 30, 2004 • Description of Products: There are 7 product product segments involved in the Microsoft Corporation.

  4. Part A. Audit Report • Independent Auditors: Deloitte and Touche LLP • What did they have to say about the Co.? After they analyzed and conducted their audit report in accordance to the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board standards they concluded that their financial position was presented fairly in all material aspects of the business.

  5. Part A. Stock Market Information • Most Recent Price: $26.93 • 12 Month trading range: $23.82 - $28.38 • Dividend per share: $0.36 • Date: March 3, 2006 • My Opinion: If you are looking to make a large profit in the stock market this stock is not for you. The current price, being at 26.93, is in the middle of the 52 week range and doesn’t seem to be increasing at a high rate. For every dollar invested it only pays a dividend of $0.36. My opinion is to not buy this stock now but if you currently own it then hold on to it because even though it won’t make you millions you won’t lose millions either. MSFT.

  6. Part B. Industry Situation and Company Plans • In today’s societies technology is expanding dramatically and every year new things come out to enhance the world of technology. Microsoft is at the top of its field in technological advancements and continues to grow as a company.

They have a long term commitment to research and development for driving innovations. During 2003 they applied for 2,000 patents and in 2004 they plan on applying for 3,000 more (www.microsoft.com).

  7. Part C. Income Statement -The Microsoft Comp. Uses a single-step format -Both the operating income and Net Income of Microsoft increased from ’03 to ’04, that tells me that though its net income increased, it took more money for that to happen, thus a part of their business was not making a profit on the money put into it.

  8. Part C. Balance Sheet -The asset account changed the most between 2003 and 2004, mainly due to large increases in short term investments and property and equipment. The liabilities account did not increase too much which is good because for the year, they did not incur many new debts. The large increase in the asset account directly affected the Stockholders Equity account.

  9. Part C. Statement of Cash Flows • Are the cash flows from operations more or less than net income for the past two years? Cash flow from operations is greater than net income in both 2003 and 2004 (2003 NI $7,531 and operations $15,797, 2004 NI $8,168 and operations $14,626). • Is the company growing through investing, activities, i.e. buying property, plant and equipment and other long lived assets? No. • What is the company’s primary source of financing, i.e., long-term loans, stock sales? Sales of investments. • Overall has cash increased or decreased over the past two years? Increased tremendously. It went from $6,438 in 2003 to $15,982 in 2004.

That being said, in both years Microsoft has a larger THSE than TL and from 2003 to 2004 the debt to equity ratio decreased.
