Profit from operations is one of the most important metrics. Anything else requires outside funding which means more issuance and dilution, or more debt. Disappointing that even the China operations is loss making, despite the 10,000 salesmen supposedly on the job in one of the world's biggest markets, (as NET always keeps reminding us). The "other operating expense" of $5.8m for Unallocated/Corporate seems exorbitant as it doesn't include the recent restructuring costs. Also note almost all the revenue went towards finance and restructuring costs which is a bit of a worry.
