What the states and labels mean
- Profit · Loss · Break-even
- Based on the net result of the financial year. Break-even: the net result, positive or negative, is at most 1% of that year's revenue. Otherwise a positive net result is a profit and a negative one a loss. If the year has no revenue figure, it is break-even only when the net result is exactly 0.
