Au Contraire!  There are many times when an annual report is included with
the glossies.  Decision makers, if they have any sense at all, want to know
that they are dealing with a vendor who is stable.  Vendors who are public
will include this information as a matter of course.

Take it from someone who's seen a few in his lifetime.
