Many annual reports are available in the reference room.
The purpose of an annual report is to summarize a company's financial state, to review the last year's performance, and to discuss future plans. However, the depth of information varies greatly from company to company. Typically, financial information, mission statements, and other information can be found in the annual report. Annual reports are also available through Disclosure Global Access . If that is unsuccessful, try Yahoo or CompaniesOnline and search for the company.
