Apple Inc. Research Report
On June 5, 2013, Bloomberg reported that Apple Inc. (Apple) is planning to increase its employee count by 46% to 23,400 in Cupertino, California, paying out $2.9 billion in annual wages by the time its new headquarters is completed in 2016. In May 2013, a report was prepared by Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. which addressed the economic and fiscal impacts generated by Apple's presence in Cupertino. As per the report, the completion of Apple Campus 2 is vital to the region for many reasons, including creation of increased high quality job opportunities, revenue growth for local businesses that will further support job creation, and enhanced tax revenues for the City of Cupertino and other cities and public agencies. Apple presented its most recently updated plans for Apple Campus 2 in April 2013. The campus' centerpiece will be an iconic circular office building which will be four-stories in height and 2.8 million square feet in area. With additional Apple Campus 2 Phase 1 facilities such as auditorium, fitness center, parking structures, buildings to house R&D, etc., the total capacity of Phase 1 will be 13,000 employees.

Sony Corporation Research Report
On May 31, 2013, Sony Corporation (Sony) released its consolidated financial results for full-year FY 2013 (period ended March 31, 2013). Sales and operating revenue were up 4.7% YoY to ¥6.8 trillion ($72.3 billion), primarily attributable to the impact of consolidating Sony Mobile Communications AB as a wholly-owned subsidiary, favorable impact of foreign exchange rates, and an increase in financial services revenue in the financial services segment. Sales growth was partially offset by a decline in unit sales of key electronics products, and the negative impact of sales from small and medium-sized display business and the chemical products related business. Sony reported that sales increased 2% YoY on a constant currency basis.
