Net profit is profit (loss) is after tax and ALL other overheads such as interest payable

Simply put, Operating profit is revenue less costs and expenses and before any income deductions.

An operating profit can be a loss.

I'm not saying this will be, I'm just pointing this out.

So basically, it's "what I would get if I didn't have to subtract all kinds of additional expenses I need to make to the state and prior loans"?

 

Net profit is when all those additional payments have been subtracted?

Any idea on how big the difference was last quarter? or last year? Should give some insight of what to expect?
