Thank you for participating in this short study into the financial reports of a company called Apricot.

Apricot is a public company that manufactures mobile phones. Each quarter, Apricot publishes a press release to report its earnings. The press release contains the results highlights (in numbers and short text) for that quarter, and a short discussion of those results by the company’s management. It finishes with the company's expectations for the next quarter.

On the first screen you will see Apricot's financial results (numbers) from the PREVIOUS quarter, Q2, and the expectations they had for Q3. "Now" it is Q3. On the second screen you will see the press release for the current quarter, Q3 – the numerical results and the management discussion about it. For reference, the screen will still show the previous quarter's (Q2) results and expectations when results for Q3 are shown.
