if we look at the P&L statement from an overall perspective, all the revenues earned from various projects/services are shown as top line, where as the expenses incurred thereon all the projects are shown on the expense side.The net effect can be profit or loss. Now, if you have a look at each project service level by comparing revenue and expenses on individual projects. the resultant can be either profit or loss for each of the project depending on various factors. Since in the P&L account, all the profits or losses from each individual projects are netted of because the P&L is for the organisation as a whole, you will get either profit or loss.
