Profit distribution Profit or loss for the year represents the difference between total income and total expenses, including charges to and reversals from depreciation, amortisation and provisions. Five percent of profit for the year, less any losses carried forward from previous years, is transferred to the legal reserve, until such time as that reserve represents one tenth of the Company’s share capital.
