[citation][nom]kevin555555[/nom]...I for the the financially illiterate this doesn't make sense, but profit and loss has absolutely nothing to do with cash, or cash flow. Nothing at all.[/citation]
Ignoring the spout of illiteracy exhibited at the very beginning, that is exactly how loss and profit can be discussed in monetary units, i.e. CASH.
Net Profit
actual revenue after expenses in a given period of time
Net Loss
The operating result when expenses exceed revenues for a given period.
Taken from a financial dictionary.
So in other words, they have EVERYTHING to do with cash and overall cash flow. Net loss = losing money, or negative cash flow. Everything.
So that's two counts of illiteracy in different categories from someone claiming to provide clarification on the financial meanings of profit and loss.
