Annual Report Project 
 
The Annual Report Project (ARP) is intended to provide a real-world example of the accounting and financial reporting principles that you have 
studied for the past three quarters. The specific objectives of the project are as follows: 
? To illustrate the types of financial statement formats used by American corporations. 
? To enable you to learn where to find key financial information on your company. 
? To provide practice in the written communication of financial information, a skill that will be invaluable during your professional career. 
 
Basic Instructions 
1. Select a large publicly traded corporation and obtain a recent annual report (2011 or 2012, if possible). I have a small stock of recent annual 
reports, but you are also free to choose an alternative company and obtain the annual report yourself. 
2. Familiarize yourself with the contents of the annual report. You certainly do not have to read it word for word—no one else does—but you 
should know where to find the CEO’s narrative, the auditor’s report, the financial statements, and the notes to the financial statements. 
3. Write a short narrative report that includes the information listed in the next section. Your grade on the project will reflect my perception of how 
well you address each issue, so make sure that your explanations and/or opinions are complete and well founded.  
4. Your report should be prepared on a word processor. The report should be neatly prepared and should observe the general rules of good 
grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure. Your report should be no shorter than 2 and no longer than 4 single spaced pages. Points will be 
detracted for failure to these requirements. 
5. Your report should be turned in to me, in final form, no later than 5pm, Thursday, March 21, 2013. Late papers will automatically be 
penalized 10 points. 
6. Don’t worry about citing sources. Your basic sources for...

Lowe’s was founded in 1946 and has ever since grown into the second largest hardware retail 
store globally from a small hardware store back then. The company was established using an 
effective supply chain model which eliminated middlemen (wholesalers) and worked by 
direct dealing with manufacturers. The cost-saving thus generated were partially passed on to 
customers in the form of low prices and thus Lowe was able to build a reputation for its low 
priced products. Lowe’s currently operates approximately 1,825 stores in three countries 
namely United States, Canada and Mexico. The company has a large customer base, spanning 
more than 15 million customers each week and also provides employment to more than 
245,000 people.
