These answer different questions and both are right.
Gross profit is what the selling earns: revenue minus the cost of the vials sold. Net profit takes operating expenses off that. Cash Position ignores profit entirely and tracks money in and out — sales collected and reseller advances in, stock purchases and expenses out.
Buying $15,000 of stock isn't a loss (you own it), but the cash is gone — which is why a healthy business can show strong margins and negative cash movement at the same time. A reseller's deposit is the mirror image: real cash in hand, but not revenue, because nothing has sold yet.
