Clarification of Question by frastration-ga on 08 Jul 2003 14:42 PDT

Dear jbf777-ga: 

Thanks for asking. What I mean by financial analyses are primarily
financial statement analysis (income statement, balance sheet, cash
flow ...). Ratio analyses, such as ROS and ROA, and what they tell me
about the company as supposed to what potential problem they may have
and what they are financially good at(i.e. expense control is not
good, or not solvent enough in the short term to avoid bankruptcy) and
what possible consequences they might have if certain aspects of their
finance management are poor....etc

Also, please do compare their operational performance (from financial
statements) on three horizon:
1. the performance of one individaul company over time
2. the performance of one company and its competitors
3. the company and the industry as a whole

Please notice that some wireless operators are just a division of
their parent companies. I need performance results of the division in
this case and not the whole corporation.

Once again, thank you.
