Clarkson Lauritzen - First National Chairman Pres

Elected by the shareholders, the First National's board of directors comprises two types of representatives: First National inside directors who are chosen from within the company, and outside directors, selected externally and held independent of First. The board's role is to monitor First National's management team and ensure that shareholders' interests are well served. First National's inside directors are responsible for reviewing and approving budgets prepared by upper management to implement core corporate initiatives and projects. On the other hand, First National's outside directors are responsible for providing unbiased perspectives on the board's policies.

The ability to make a profit is the ultimate goal of any investor. But to identify the right pink sheet is not an easy task. Is First National a good investment? Although profit is still the single most important financial element of any organization, multiple performance indicators can help investors identify the equity that they will appreciate over time.

First National financial ratios help investors to determine whether First Pink Sheet is cheap or expensive when compared to a particular measure, such as profits or enterprise value. In other words, they help investors to determine the cost of investment in First with respect to the benefits of owning First National security.
