Session 2 2022 Company analysis
You are required to identify a company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) that has One new acquisition in any of the financial years from 2017-2021. To qualify as a new acquisition, the company must not have any existing ownership interest in the investment before the acquisition. A company may have some acquisitions during the period, and you should choose the most significant acquisition for the company.
To find companies listed on the ASX search through the official ASX list at www.asx.com.au. Then search ‘Home > MARKETS > TRADE OUR CASH MARKET > COMPANY DIRECTORY> ASXLISTED COMPAINES’ . Alternatively, you can use the following link to https://www2.asx.com.au/markets/trade-our-cash-market/directoryfor a list of all ASX listed companies in alphabetical order.
To see which of the above criteria have been met, you must review the company’s 2017-2021 annual reports. You can type the “company name” and “annual reports” as the Google search box keywords. It may take some time to find a suitable company that meets the criteria listed and has sufficient information to prepare the presentation.
Required:
You are required to prepare presentation slides (maximum ten slides excluding name page, table of content and references page) on your selected company which covers the following points:
• You are expected to use the company’s information from at least three years of annual
reports. In addition to annual reports, it is strongly recommended to use other sources of
information about the selected changes in ownership interest and non-financial
performance, e .g., announcements, company presentations; newspaper articles; corporate
social responsibility reports, or sustainability reports.
• Background information about your selected company, including industry, business
segments, and key competitors. Analyze the trend of key financial results for at least three
financial years using the Tableau software.

consideration, accounting methods) used to account for the investment and future financial
implications.
• Discuss how an acquiree’s non-financial aspects (e.g., greenhouse gas emissions,
