INTRODUCTION6
Microsof t prov ides sof tware and serv ices that help
people communicate, do thei r work, be enter ta ined, and manage
thei r personal l ives. Over the past 30 years, innovat ive
technology has t ransformed how we access and share
in format ion, changed the way of businesses and inst i tu t ions
operate, and made the wor ld smal ler by g iv ing us instant access
to people and resources everywhere.
Microsof t was founded in 1975 and remains a leader in
the wave of innovat ion that has created so much new
oppor tuni ty , convenience, and value over the past three
decades. Dur ing that t ime, Microsoft has created many new
products, added new l ines of business, and expanded thei r
operat ions wor ldwide. A long the way, Microsof t was guided by
thei r corporate miss ion and the s ix core values i t re f lects-and
wi l l cont inue to guide us in the future.
Microsof t is commit ted to being a responsib le industry
par tner, work ing wi th businesses, communi t ies, and governments
to help advance socia l and economic wel l -being and to enable
people around the wor ld to real ize thei r fu l l potent ia l . Microsof t ’s
commitment and responsib i l i t ies as a global corporate c i t izen are
grounded in thei r company miss ion and values, mani fested
through thei r business pract ices and operat ions, and carr ied out
by thousands of Microsof t employees and suppl iers wor ldwide.
Microsof t ’s Global Ci t izenship In i t ia t ive is organized
around three themes, or s trategic concepts, which form the
foundat ion of thei r c i t izenship act iv i t ies wor ldwide:

Bui ld ing a Knowledge Economy.
Each of these themes is fundamental to Microsoft `s
business. Microsof t organize thei r Global Ci t izenship In i t ia t ive
th is way to help ensure i ts business st rategies fu l ly support thei r
commitment to corporate governance, business eth ics, and
g lobal c i t izenship

Brief History Microsof t was founded on 1975 by Bi l l Gates and h is
f r iend Paul Al len, A l len was an employee of Honeywel l and Bi l l
Gates was a sophomore at Harvard. Gates and Al len created a
s imulator on a DEC PDP-10 computer that a l lowed i t to emulate
the MITS machine. Work ing day and n ight , they created the f i rs t
vers ion of MICROSOFT BASIC for the Al ta i r . Their object ive: to
create a s impl i f ied computer language for teaching students how
to program. Af ter Successfu l Complet ion of thei r pro ject Paul
Al len jo ins MITS (Micro Inst rumentat ion and Telemetry Systems)
as Director of Sof tware. , and Gates fo l lows h im later that year
to form an in formal par tnership cal led Micro-sof t , complete wi th
hyphen.
On November 1, 1975 Paul A l len res igns f rom MITS to
jo in Microsof t fu l l t ime. On November 26, the t rade name
"Microsof t " is registered wi th the Of f ice of the Secretary of the
State of New Mexico " to ident i fy computer programs for use in
automat ic data processing systems; pre-programming
processing systems; and data processing serv ices inc luding
computer programming serv ices." The appl icat ion says that the
name has been in cont inuous use s ince November 12.
On November 29, 1975 in a le t ter to Paul A l len, B i l l Gates
uses the name "Micro-sof t " to refer to thei r (60/40) Partnership
wi th a Revenue of $16,005 and 3 Employees (A l len, Gates, and
Ric Wei land).MITS promotes Al ta i r BASIC, the computer
language developed by Gates and Al len for the Al ta i r computer.
12
On July 1 1976, Microsof t ref ines and enhances BASIC to
sale to other customers inc luding DTC, General E lectr ic , NCR,
and Ci t ibank. Microsoft develops i ts f i rs t ad campaign, ca l led
"The Legend of Micro-Kid." Al though st i l l an in formal
par tnership, Microsof t moves to i ts f i rs t real of f ices in One Park
Centra l Tower in Albuquerque. Gates returns to Harvard for the
spr ing term, but f inds t ime to d i rect Microsof t in i ts ef for ts to
l icense BASIC to General Elect r ic , NCR, Ci t ibank, and others.
Ti l l the date Revenue was increased to $22,496and the number
of employees was extended to 7.
On February 3 1977, a par tnership agreement between
Paul Al len and Bi l l Gates is of f ic ia l ly executed. Their main
product is s t i l l BASIC, but i t 's t ied up wi th MITS, which has
agreed to make a "best ef for t " to l icense i t to other companies.
Bi l l Gates and Paul A l len shared the t i t le of general partner
unt i l 1977, when Bi l l Gates became president and Paul A l len
v ice president of Microsof t Corporat ion wi th Revenue of
$381,715 and 9 Employees (Steve Wood, Bob Wal lace, J im
Lane, Bob O'Rear , Bob Greenburg, Marc McDonald, Gordon
Letwin, B i l l Gates, Andrea Lewis, Mar la Wood & Paul Al len) .
Steve Jobs and Stephen Wozniak, one of the Contenders
of Microsof t s tands as a chal lenging compet i tor . They
in t roduces the Apple I personal computer, for only
$666.66.Steve Jobs and Stephen Wozniak bui ld the f i rs t s ingle
c i rcu i t board PC complete wi th v ideo in ter face and 8K of RAM
and a keyboard out of the garage and in to the h is tory book.
Another compet i tor IBM ar ises wi th a cheaper personal
computer for ind iv idual . In 1981 Microsoft r ides the wave of
13
the IBM PC wi th vers ions of BASIC, COBOL, and Pascal . Steve
Jobs of Apple v is i ts Microsof t to g ive a sneak preview of the
revolut ionary Macintosh computer. Microsof t becomes the f i rs t
major company to develop products for the Mac.
On June 25, 1981 Microsoft reorganizes into a pr ivate ly
held corporat ion wi th Bi l l Gates as President and Chairman of
the Board, and Paul A l len as Execut ive V ice President.
Microsof t becomes Microsof t , Inc. , an incorporated business in
the State of Washington wi th Revenue of $16,000,000 and 128
Employees. In 1982 Revenue increases to $24,486,000 wi th 220
employees. In 1985 Microsof t in t roduces a new wide select ion of
min i -appl icat ions of sof tware packages:-
MS-DOS Execut ive
Calendar
Cardf i le
Notepad
Terminal
Calculator
Clock
Revers i (a s t rategy game)
Contro l Panel
PIF (Program Informat ion Fi le) Edi tor
Pr int Spooler
Cl ipboard
RAM Drive
Windows Wri te
Windows Paint
14
which increases i t Revenue to $140,417,000 wi th 910
employees. Now Microsof t sh ips i ts one-mi l l ionth uni t of
Mul t ip lan.
On Apr i l 2 1987, Microsof t announces Microsof t
Operat ing System/2 (MS OS/2) a new personal computer
operat ing system. I t has been designed and developed
speci f ical ly to harness the capabi l i t ies of personal computers
based upon the Inte l 80286 and 80386 microprocessors. I t is
p lanned for phased re lease to OEMs in the four th quar ter of
1987. This is the f i rs t product to be announced as a resul t o f
the Joint Development Agreement between IBM and Microsof t
announced in August , 1985. T i l l now Microsof t has expanded
h is Business to Massive f igure hold ing about 60% of USA
Capi tal .
EMPLOYEES
As of June 30, 2006, Microsof t has employed
approximate ly 71,000 people on a fu l l - t ime basis, 44,000 in the
Uni ted States and 27,000 internat ional ly . Of the tota l , 28,000
were in product research and development , 21,000 in sales and
market ing, 13,000 in product suppor t and consul t ing serv ices,
2,000 in manufactur ing and d is t r ibut ion, and 7,000 in general
and administration. Its success is highly dependent on its ability to
attract and retain qualified employees. None of its employees are
subject to collective bargaining agreement .

PROPERTIES
Microsoft corporate offices consist of approximately
11.0 million square feet of office building space located in King
County, Washington: 8.5 million square feet of owned space that
is situated on approximately 500 acres of land it own in its
corporate campus and approximately 2.5 million square feet of
space it lease. Microsoft own approximately 533,000 square feet
of office building space domestically (outside of the Puget Sound
corporate campus) and lease many sites domestically totaling
approximately 2.7 million square feet of office building space.
Microsoft occupies many sites internationally, totaling
approximately 6.9 million square feet that is leased and
approximately 883,000 square feet that is owned. These facil ities
include its European Operations Center that leases an 187,000
square foot campus in Dublin, Ireland, a 56,000 square foot disk
duplication facility in Humacao, Puerto Rico, and a 159,000
square foot facility in Singapore for the Asia Pacific Operations
Center and Regional headquarters.
Leased office building space includes the following locations:
Tokyo, Japan 408,000 square feet; Unterschleissheim, Germany
381,000 square feet; Les Ulis, France 262,000 square feet;
Reading, England 241,000 square feet; and Mississauga, Canada
161,000 square feet. In addition to the above locations, it has
various product development facilities, both domestically and
internationally, as described in “Operations” above. Microsoft
facilities are fully used for current operations of all segments, a
16
suitable additional space is available to accommodate expansion
needs.
Microsoft own 63 acres of land in Issaquah, Washington,
which can accommodate 1.2 million square feet of office space
and it has an agreement with the City of Redmond under which it
may develop an additional 2.2 million square feet of facilities at its
campus in Redmond, Washington.
COMPETITORS
Competitors to the Microsoft Office system include many
software application vendors such as Apple, Corel, Google, IBM,
Novell, Oracle, Red Hat, Sun Microsystems, and local application
developers in Europe and Asia. IBM (SmartSuite) and Corel
(WordPerfect Suite) have measurable installed bases with their
office productivity products. Apple may distribute certain of their
application software products with various models of their PCs.
The OpenOffice.org project provides a freely downloadable cross-
platform application that also has been adapted by various
commercial software vendors to sell under their brands, including
IBM, Novell, Red Hat, and Sun. Corel’s suite and many local
software suites around the world are aggressively priced for OEMs
to preinstall on low-priced PCs. In addition to traditional client-
side applications, Web-based offerings such as AjaxWrite,
gOffice, iNetOffice, SimDesk, ThinkFree, wikiCalc, or other small
projects competing with individual applications, can also provide
17
an alternative to Microsoft Office system products. Google has
announced spreadsheet and word processing applications as web-
based offerings and also provides an enterprise search offering
that competes with SharePoint and the new enterprise search
product. IBM has many different points of competition with Office
system products with its Notes and Workplace offerings. As
Microsoft continue to respond to market demand for additional
functionality and products, it compete with additional vendors,
most notably in enterprise content management, collaboration
tools, unified messaging, and business intelligence. These
competitors include WebEx, and a number of business intelligence
vendors such as Business Objects, Cognos, and Hyperion.
Microsoft competition varies based upon the size and
geographic location of the customer for whom it is competing. It
competes with well-known vendors such as Intuit and Sage in the
market focused on providing solutions for small and mid-sized
businesses. The market for large organizations and divisions of
global enterprises continues to be intensely competitive with a
small number of primary vendors including Oracle and SAP.
Additionally, these large enterprise-focused vendors are
repositioning some of their business applications to focus on small
and mid-sized businesses. Microsoft believe its products compete
effectively with these vendors based on its strategy of providing
integrated, adaptable solutions that work like and with Microsoft
technologies its customers already have. .

Comment : - From the above rat io analys is that the current rat io
of the company is qui t sat is factory in the year 2006 but not in
2005 because the rat io should l ies wi th in the standard l imi t of
2 :1 but in the year 2006 i t is just above the standard l imi t which
31
can be ignored but in 2005 the rat io largely exceed the standard
l imi t , which means the company is inef f ic ient in proper
ut i l izat ion of fund.
Acid test rat io or the Quick rat io on the other hand is
qui t more the normal s tandard of 1:1, in the year 2005 the
company holds more than the standard l imi t which means the
f i rm has not ut i l ized the funds, in 2006 the f i rm has
mainta ined the standard l imi t by keeping the rat io by 1.937:1
which is just good enough than the previous year 2005.
Absolute l iqu id rat io or Cash rat io is s l ight ly low in the
year 2006 (0.436:1) whereas the accepted standard is 0.5.
But in the year 2005 the f i rm has 2.326:1 as absolute rat io
which means the holds a large amount of cash and secur i t ies
in hand and unable to ut i l ize the funds.
Inventory turnover rat io or the stock turnover rat io
Capi ta l turn over rat io is increased by 2.016%,
which means the company is ef f ic ient and i t ut i l i zes i ts
resources ef fect ive ly .

Summary & Finding From this pro ject report I got to know Microsof t ’s f inancia l
posi t ion, investments p lan, l iqu id i ty posi t ion, so lvency
posi t ion, prof i tabi l i ty rat io , net income, tota l assets and
l iab i l i t ies, income f rom al l possib le operat ions, consider ing
income statement , balance sheet and cash f low statement
inc luding the comparat ive statement analys is of 2005-2006.
The total operat ing expenses has increase by $2583 mi l l ion
wi th a rat io increase 10.23% and net income increase to
$12599 mi l l ion. Whereas tota l current assets increased by
$273 mi l l ion wi th 0.58%. The deta i l analys is and observat ion
has been ment ioned below.
OBSERVATION
34
From the above analysis I have observed that the company is
passing through many up and downs in the middle of the previous
year but some how the company manage to control the total return
at the end of the period. But in the year 2006 the company tota l
operat ing expenses had a t remendous increase of $2583 mi l l ion
wi th a 10.23% of change, the revenue increased f rom $39788
mi l l ion to $44282 mi l l ion wi th an Absolute change of $4494
Mi l l ion wi th 11.29% of change. Where as the net income f rom al l
sources is just increased to $345 mi l l ion. The earn ing per share
has an increase of 7.07% and 7.14% whereas the weighted
average share outstanding is reduced to 3.69% and 3.43%. But
there is decrease total cash and short - term investment , the
f igure reduces f rom $37756 mi l l ion to $34161 mi l l ion wi th a
10.5% of decrease, whereas the tota l current asset has an
increase of $273 mi l l ion. But the tota l current l iabi l i ty has been
increased $16877 mi l l ion to $22442 mi l l ion wi th a tota l change
of $5565 mi l l ion and 75.2% in change where as the stock
holder ’s equi ty has been t remendously reduct ion of $8011
mi l l ion. But overal l the balance sheet shows net decrease of
$1218 mi l l ion f rom the perv ious year. The statements are st i l l
not sat is factory according to me, but I th ink there must be some
hidden reserve, investment or some gains kept secrete which is
not d isc losed or declared for va luat ion of s tock and income of
the year 2006
MAJOR SUGGESTION
Microsof t has t remendously increased the per capi ta income of
the company in 2006 up to $12599 mi l l ion wi th a net increase of
$345 mi l l ion and wi th 2.81% of increase, but in 2006 the
35
company’s investment income is great ly reduced $277 mi l l ion
wi th a net fa l l o f 13.4% f rom the previous year 2005. The
company should t ry to mainta in a posi t ive f igure towards
investment income by safe guarding the invested amount in
proper way. Microsof t should g ive more at tent ion towards shot-
term investments inc luding secur i t ies
I suggest that Microsof t should expand i ts business to
hardware manufactur ing and assembl ing. Though Microsof t is
one of the sof tware agencies, i t should t ry to hold a posi t ion in
hardware product ion and than Microsof t wi l l become the Global
Leader in overal l IT sector .
At last I suggest to the management of Microsof t to
improve thei r investment by imposing new pol ic ies, p lans as
wel l as other funds. Par t icular ly , the long-term investment
a lso increased dur ing the 2005-06. In a basic analys is I want
to suggest the management to improve the rate of growth
Conclusion Microsof t is one of the leading Software agency and
remains on top among other sof tware agencies, creat ing a
new dimension for the next generat ions’ technology.
36
From the above study I conclude that Microsof t has
re lat ive ly h igh earned revenue in an increasing order wi th an
average net growth rate of 9% to 18% and wi th a net income
increases every year wi th every new product and product
update launch, s ince last decades. Microsof t a lways kept i ts
pol ic ies of product assurance and so as of i ts shareholders.
From th is pro ject repor t I found that the Microsof t wi l l
increases i ts amount of investment in a speed way. Microsof t
a lso generates new system even in the f i rm’s product ion.
Here; the long- term investment a lso increases to a h igh by the
end of 2006. No doubt in f iscal year 2007, I expect double
d ig i t revenue growth pr imar i ly as a resul t o f the upcoming
launches of Windows Vista and the 2007 Microsof t Of f ice
system. I est imate wor ldwide PC shipments wi l l grow between
8% and 10% and PC uni t growth rates wi l l be h igher in the
consumer segment than in the business segment and h igher in
emerging markets than in mature markets. I est imate
wor ldwide server uni t sh ipments wi l l grow between 10% and
12% in f iscal year 2007 as compared to f iscal year 2006. I do
not expect a s igni f icant impact f rom year-over-year fore ign
currency exchange rates in f iscal year 2007.
