The format of the income statement is a Multi-step format.
The 2008 numbers are better and stronger compared to the 2009 numbers. The decrease in 2009 was a cause of the crisis that struck the company and would be expected to improve by next year.

Yet again the crisis seems to have a negative effect on the company because the numbers of 2008 are slightly larger than those of The account that has more change is the liabilities account compared to the stockholders equity account. So this explains the difference between the two assets accounts.
