There are many ways in which a firm may be assessed, all of which are valid. One approach is to look at both critical and horizon financial analysis. The reason
investors put money into shares, or directly into a company, is in order to create value and make a profit. The use of financial analysis is based ion an assessment
of the results of the firm as they are presented in the annual report. By their nature, annual reports are presenting historical data, as such any assessment needs to be
considered within that context, but the use of this data when presented over a number of years may also be useful in assessing any trends or patterns. In order to
assess AS Ltd, a private engineering firm, we will look at the profitability, the liquidity, the efficiency and the gearing over the years 2007 - 2009. 2. Financial Results
