MS reports some of its divisions' expenses , including part or all R&D, extraordinary losses and other expenses (like RRoD and other reliability problems, lawsuits, fines, etc) in a separate report item, "Corporate Level Activity", so, if a division shows a loss, you know it's losing (but not precisely how much), otherwise, unless you get a detailed report and are able to read it, you don't know if that division is really earning or losing (unless declared profit is greater than total Corporate Level Activity losses, in that case it's sure it's profitable).
