The study was a descriptive level quantitative approach and cross-sectional type where the interview and documentary analysis form were used as instruments to extract the values from the financial statements that allowed the horizontal analysis to be performed and the ratios to be calculated. It is concluded that the profitability of the company is very low since it does not reach 2% of sales, due to an excess cost of sales, however, liquidity has increased from 2.3 to 14.51 times its current liabilities. , the activity has doubled and long-term debt has been eliminated, which is why the company's working capital decreased. All this has forced the company to postpone its expansion projects pending a better financial situation for the company.
