Patriot & Associates · To the shareholders

Annual report

Prepared by the firm. Audited by nobody. Presented with total confidence, as is our custom. Figures are current as of this morning and are counted rather than estimated, which the Office regards as a competitive advantage.

What we did

Items in the catalogue
40

Each one printed only once somebody orders it, which keeps the warehouse theoretical.

Departments maintained
8

Some of them contain merchandise.

Self-owns filed
75

Every one of them ours, reviewed internally and published anyway.

Executive orders issued
6

1 rescinded, one of them within five hours.

Exhibits in the museum
9

Admission remains free and remains unvisited.

Standing offers
3

Applied automatically, whether or not anybody notices.

What we did not do

Recounts concluded
0

One remains in progress and is expected to conclude imminently.

Political positions held
0

This has been the firm's position for as long as it has had one.

Suggestions actioned
0

All were read. Reading is the service.

Explanations given
0

An explanation was prepared and has since been decommissioned.

Outlook

The firm enters the coming year with its catalogue intact, its convictions unexamined and its eagle under supervision. Management is confident, and has been confident before.

The loyalty programme now runs to 4 ranks, each conferring obligations that were previously implied. The Office considers making them explicit to be the principal achievement of the period under review.

No part of this report has been reviewed by an accountant, and the firm would like that noted as a matter of transparency rather than as a concern.
