We had continued to focus on the development and introduction of new products in the key product categories, and had launched a series of new exciting products that provide good potential growth opportunities. However, our financial performance continued to be adversely affected by the difficult and uncertain market conditions for our products, which impacted sales across all regions and resulted in lower revenues. Nevertheless, despite the lower level of sales, with a lower operating cost structure from the cost cutting actions in the previous years, we were able to achieve an improvement in operating results in fiscal 2013. Sales for fiscal year 2013 were US$165 million, a reduction of 14% compared to US$192 million for fiscal year 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 33% in fiscal 2013, up from 19% in fiscal 2012. Net profit for fiscal 2013 was...

...Laboratory Report Format 1. Title Page: The following is an example of the proper lab report title page format. Of course, you must substitute information pertinent to the specific lab and course. The title page will be a single, whole page. Laboratory Exercise #1 Verification of Ohm's Law by Fred Derf Lab Partner: Jonathan Dough EETH 1811 Electronic Circuit Technology Lecture Section 001 Lab Section 101 Performed on: February 31, 1994 Submitted on: March 1, 1994 To: Dr. Pepper 2. Objective(s) Describe in formal language (third person impersonal) the objective(s) of the lab. State the rules or theories to be investigated in the lab. Rule of thumb: someone else, using the same knowledge you have, should be able to complete the task given this information alone. In some cases, lab objectives may be given to you. You should expand these supplied objectives whenever appropriate. List all components (including values) and major equipment required to perform the exercise. Be sure to include make, model, and serial numbers of all equipment used. This listing should not include items such as meter leads or jumper wires, which are required for the use of the laboratory equipment. By listing the equipment itself it is implied that the necessary meter leads or other connecting apparatus is included. Provide all detailed schematics which, when implemented, will produce the results desired. Do not include developmental schematics here. Computer drawn schematics are preferable...

...time. Reports and queries, which can require a much greater range of limited server/disk resources than transaction processing, run on the servers/disks used by transaction processing systems can lower the probability that transactions complete in an acceptable amount of time. Or, running queries and reports, with their variable resource requirements, on the servers/disks used by transaction processing systems can make it quite complex to manage servers/disks so there is a high enough probability that acceptable response time can be achieved. Firms therefore may find that the least expensive and/or most organizationally expeditious way to obtain high probability of acceptable transaction processing response time is to implement a data warehousing architecture that uses separate servers/disks for some querying and reporting. To use data models and/or server technologies that speed up querying and reporting and that are not appropriate for transaction processing There are ways of modeling data that usually speed up querying and reporting (e.g., a star schema) and may not be appropriate for transaction processing because the modeling technique will slow down and complicate transaction processing. Also, there are server technologies that that may speed up query and reporting processing but may slow down transaction processing (e.g., bit-mapped indexing) and server technologies that may speed up transaction processing but slow down query and report processing (e.g., technology for...

... receive a minimal benefit as report complexity has continued to increase which in most cases lead to higher processing costs. Arthur Levitt, former SEC chairman has said that “In many cases, the problem is not a lack of information; it is actually quite the opposite. To much information can be as much of a problem as to little and more disclosure does not always mean better disclosure.” More information and disclosure, especially to small investors is seen as a negative attribute as it once again comes back to higher processing costs from resources they do not have. This makes it rather difficult for small investors to make an informed investment decision surrounding the filing date of a company’s 10-k. Hypotheses Brian Miller derived two hypotheses, with one consisting of an A & B format surrounding the effects of reporting complexity on small and large investors in order to guide his research. The first hypothesis H1(a) is Total abnormal trading around a 10-K is lower when reports are more complex. Mr. Miller stated that if reports become complex (based on the length & readability), forecasting the profitability and sustainability of future growth from these reports becomes difficult. Investors in this case may simply choose not to invest in companies that produce such complex 10-k reports, which would ultimately lead to a lower abnormal trading volume. H1(b) states that The effects of report complexity on abnormal trading ...
