Review of Financial Performance
Net Revenue
Our company was ambitious and took a plunge straight into the market taking risks, resulting in our revenues increasing in the early years. Through years 9 to 11 we mainly priced our cameras higher from what our competitors had them listed as, as our revenue began to decline, we had lost our advantage because we had to start cutting costs, such as our adverting and tech support. Promoting our products more, using our money towards adverting could have increased our sales, or decreasing our products price while we had the advantage.
Stock Price
Since our stock prices were related to the earnings per share (EPS), our stock prices reflected accordingly. You could say our shareholders were fairly pleased with the results they received because it was either what they were expecting or well above it. Meeting almost all of the investors’ expectations is why we are always expected to pass the expectation in stock prices.
Earnings per Share (EPS)
In our company we tried to go over or meet our investors’ expectations, but in some of the years we fell below. Some factors that affected us, in years 10 and 11 we lost the competitive advantage so the companies priced their cameras very low, which gave them more of the market share. We failed to pass the expectations for years 10 and 11

    The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, Inc. (A&P) suffered from continued loss on the net income from 2000 to 2003, which caused a general concern on its high risk of bankruptcy. However, conflicting with analysts’ estimation, the company’s third-quarter financial results surprisingly exceeded their expectation, and stock price rose 23% to $9.28 per share on six times average daily trading volume. At the same time, there is concern that shareholders failed to recognize the real performance of A&P, and they simply used the financial results to forecast the future of the company. However, financial reports can be manipulated and give wrong signals.…

    If the problem cannot be rectified, managers will probably adjust the target downwards. If, on the other hand, targets are easily achieved, managers may adjust them upwards. Thus the targets to which managers aspire depend to a large extent on the success in achieving previous targets. Targets are also influenced by expectations of demand and costs, by the achievements of competitors and by expectations of competitors’ future behavior. For example, if it is expected that the economy is likely to move into recession, sales and profit targets may be adjusted downwards.…
