This manual cuts through the hype and explains the anatomy of an annual report in clear, concise language that any business reader can understand. Each chapter covers a different section of the report, from the corporate profile and letter to shareholders to the financial statements and operational overview. The easy-to-follow format shows the reader what is and what is not important to know, where to find it, and how to benefit from the information. Loth provides a mini-lesson on financial analysis, and gives the reader an excellent overview of such important concepts as balance sheet and statement of income.

Good Entry in Annual Reports Reading,
By
This review is from: How to Profit from Reading Annual Reports (Paperback)
This book is a fast and easy read introduction in Annual Reports Analysing. Nevertheless it has a lot of interesting and important information with a lot of "reading between the lines". It covers not only the financials but also the shareholder's letter and other parts of the annual report. The author doesn't dwell too much on academic and theoretical thoughts but tells his experiences. It's also a good introduction for European people like me, who aren't yet accustomed to U.S. annual reports. The only thing I miss is a new edition because of the facts that yet 7 years have passed since the lastest edition.

An investment classic,
By
This review is from: How to Profit from Reading Annual Reports (Paperback)
I've read a few accounting texts and this is by far the most useful. Why? It assumes readers don't know anything and it manages to clearly explain concepts and terminology without intimidating the reader, a heck of an achievement. Even more important to anyone who actually wants to use this material, Loth shows step-by-step how to construct spreadsheets to analyze annual report information. Oh, and did you see the price? It is a darn shame that this book is now out of print...

Good Book on Understanding Annual Reports,
This review is from: How to Profit from Reading Annual Reports (Paperback)
This is a nice introduction to the various parts of the annual report and how to understand what is important.
I've had it in the library for over 10 years now and still refer to it.
