    b.) By looking at the statement, there are a few reasons for concern. The first thing I would like to point out is that even if the business is making a profit, the margin from 2011 to 2012 has decreased dramatically. The net profit is £249,200 less than previous year. A decreasing net profit means less money to spend in to the business for next year. Another cause for concern is the cost of goods sold for 2012, a cost of £793,300, compared to the gross profit of £799,000. This is concerning as the business is spending too much money on stock without barely making a profit.…
