From table 1 above, the area of concern is the despite the increase in revenue, we still are earning less net income. We can see that the cost of revenue has risen by 7 % over the previous year. The second area of concern is the staggering rise in the Nonrecurring expenses which has increased to 289% over the previous year. As income of the company has risen, it has also increased it interest expenses by 24%. It can be observed that the major contributor to the reduction in the net income can be attributed to the rise in cost of revenue and income tax expenses.
