The horizontal analysis is used to compare the company information for more than one year at a time. The horizontal analysis can be used to research changes and trends within the company over periods of time whereas the vertical analysis converts the numbers to percentages and is from the balance sheet making it more complex to analyze. Hastings revenue dropped $24.7 million dollars from 2011 to 2012 and dropped $229,585 from 2012 to 2013. With such a decrease in revenue the company would need to find ways to decrease expenses to maintain profitability. This did not happen for Hastings cost of goods sold did decrease but operating expenses increased in 2012 and in 2013 it looks as if the company is recouping from 2012 but they are not making a lot of headway. Judging from the horizontal balance sheet long term debt increase in both 2012 and 2013 and retained earnings has drastically reduced 2011 to 2013. This could be read as stockholders are cashing out and reinvesting in different companies.
