Hi, I have a question. I am doing a financial analsis. Below is consolidated income statement over five year of the company. I have to find the reason for any growth and loss. Net income goes down in 2014. Is this because operating income from continuing operations goes down? Or due to increase of income tax? Also, I want to know why some year income tax increase. Please help me. Thanks.
