The
Costs of an Annual Report
According
to a recent study done by the National Investor

key factors:

of the corporations now have annual reports online (up
from 31% in 1996).
*Outside
design firms are charging less for online reports, the
price dropping from $12,400 in 1999 to $7,400 last year.
*29%
of the companies are using a scaled-down report, with
over half using the 10K wrap.
*The
average number of copies printed has dropped 6.4% from
1999. |
