So, been playing this game for a couple of weeks now, and find it interresting. However, there are some problems. User interface is, to put it mildly, not good. If I continue to play the game, I'll get back to more of those issues later.
For now I'll just address a small thing concerning loss and profit of corperations. The corperation page is very confusing, and I struggle to find the numbers of interrest. Gross profit/loss and net profit/loss, is, in my opinion, the most important things to look for in any corperation. Real or not. In my corperation pages, I can take a look at the page "Cash and Debt" to see "profit last month". But numbers just doesn't add up if I take a closer look on the corperation homepage.
An example:
Cash at start of previous month 52,569.40M SC$
Salaries Paid -396.82M SC$
Interest Paid 0.00M SC$
Country Resources Used -375.74M SC$
Fixed Property

Okay, yes the financial information has been improved recently but it still seems to have some accuracy problems.
With the above example, it does look like your company has lost money, but check to see if all the product was actually sold at this point. Often, if you check before the 10th of the month or so, the product won't have actually sold yet, or not entirely.
Is this a newer corporation? They tend to become more profitable as they upgrade.
I don't really look so closely at my corporations any longer (as I have over a thousand) but in general corporations will be profitable once they've upgraded a bit and if they are producing products which are in demand. There have been exceptions to this though. Also, the market is extremely weak right now.
