The problem arises when you consider the context in which "we're not profitable" comes from, and if that statement can be trusted in that context. I don't personally think it can, and because there's zero proof available, all we have to go off of is the overall trustworthiness of the speaker, and the context to which they are speaking, ie, they're proven to be untrustworthy and they're in a situation where they need to save face.
