Intel Corp. INCOME STATEMENT 2008 2007 2006

Revenue ($mil.) 37,586.0 38,334.0 35,382.0
Gross Profit ($mil.) 20,844.0 19,904.0 18,218.0
Operating Income ($mil.) 7,694.0 9,181.0 7,092.0
Total Net Income ($mil.) 5,292.0 6,976.0 5,044.0
EPS 0.92 1.18 0.86
STRENGTHS:
Cost of sale’s reduction. By analyzing INTEL’s income statement in 2008 and
2006,respectively, we can see INTEL managed to increase revenue by about 6.23%.
After computing, we got the change of cost of sales which reduced about 2.46%
between 2008 and 2006(the cost of sales reduces from 48.5% to 44.5% of sales). As a
result, the gross profit increased by about 14.4% between 2008 and 2006. And the net
income increased 4.92%. We think this is the main reason for income growth, and also
a huge plus for the company’s profitability. So we regard it as the strength of INTEL.
WEAKNESSES:
Growing of operating expenses. Using the data of gross profit and operating
income,we can get the operating expenses. The operating expense represented about
31.4% of sales in 2006, but in 2008 it increased by about 35.0%, which is not
favorable in sales increase. So the company’s profit margins from decreased
from14.3% to 14.1%.
 Intel Corp. CASH FLOW STATEMENT Dec08 Dec07 Dec06
Net Operating Cash Flow 10,926.0 12,625.0 10,620.0
Net Investing Cash Flow (5,865.0) (9,926.0) (4,907.0)
Net Financing Cash Flow (9,018.0) (1,990.0) (6,439.0)
STRENGTHS:
From analyzing INTEL ‘s CFS，we can see that the core operations are
generating business. Also ,it has a modest increase about 2.81%. Although the
net investing cash flow decreased about 19.5%, but we think it as a investing. So
this may increase the cash flow in the future.
WEAKNESSES:
From analizing CFS in Dec06 to Dec08,we can see the cash flow from finacing
decreased about 40.05%. So we think this company has a problem here. INTEL
may has a large of notes payable to pay for.This caused a big finacing problem in
short-time.They will not have enough much money to produce,investing and so
on.Consequently the total cash flow in 2008 was negative 3957 which was only
nagetive 726 in 2006.

AMD INCOME STATEMENT 2008 2007 2006

Revenue ($mil.) 5,808.0 6,013.0 5,649.0
Gross Profit ($mil.) 2,320.0 2,262.0 2,793.0
Operating Income ($mil.) (1,980.0) (2,799.0) (17.0)
Total Net Income ($mil.) (3,098.0) (3,379.0) (166.0)
EPS (5.10) (6.06) (0.34)
 STRENGTHS:
I don’t think AMD corporation has any strengths. The only increaseing between
2008 and 2006 is the revenue with only a modest change about 2.81%. May be
they have cheaper stuff, a little faster transporting, but these are not the key
factors.
WEAKNESSES:
A huge increase of cost of sales.The revenue between 2006 and 2008
increased a modest data about 2.81% ,but the increase of cost of sales increased
from 50.6% to 60.0% of sale. As a result the gross profit has decreased about
16.9% .
A big increase of operating expense. The operating expense increased from
49.7% in 2006 to 74.0% in 2008 of sales. The increaseing led to the operating
income in 2008 decreased about 115.5 times of it in 2006.
A large interse of interesr expense. In 2006, the interest expense
represented 2.63% of sales , but in 2008, it increased to 19.2% of sales.
Consequently, the net income decreased significantly about 17.66 times between
2006 and 2008.We think AMD has a big financial problem.

AMD CASH FLOW STATEMENT Dec08 Dec07 Dec06

Net Operating Cash Flow (692.0) (310.0) 1,287.0

Net Investing Cash Flow (27.0) (1,675.0) (4,303.0)

Net Financing Cash Flow 220.0 2,037.0 3,763.0

STRENGTHS:
The net investing cash flow has increased 99.4% from Dec06 to Dec08. Although we
don’t think this is the ture strengths for ADM, it eased the totel cash flow in Dec08
at least.
WEAKNESSES:
AMD company’s core operations has generated much cash outflows. So we think the
company may have a big problem in inventory. Maybe the conpany has no much
cash flow, so they sold their equipments which brought into a decline in production
efficiency. The net financing cash flow decreased 99.4% and CFS decreased 1.67
times between Dec06 and Dec 08. As a result the total cash flow was badly nagetive
$3098mil. So in short period , there will be a big problem for ADM.
If we were investors, we will invest in INTEL corporation.The EPS of
INTEL increasd 6.98% between 2006 and 2008. And the net income also
increased about 4.92%. Alough CFS is not so good in Dec08,their
investing and the company’s core operations good enough to attract us to
invest in.
