Reading your numbers

Finances, the company overview and company value.

Three windows tell you how the business is doing.

Finances F

Income and each kind of spending for this year and last, profit, cash and loan, and a month-by-month chart. You borrow and repay here.

Company overview C

• Headline figures: company value, cash, loan, profit over twelve months, operating margin and your place in the league.
• Needs attention: a balance below zero, then the first few lines of Problems, with a button for the rest. A click on one does what its fix button there does.
• Where the money comes from: earnings by cargo and by kind of transport, and your best and weakest vehicles.

Company league L

Ranks every company by value: cash minus the loan, plus what the vehicles are worth now, plus $800 for each station tile and $210 for each tile of track.

Finding weak spots

• The Vehicles window (V) has a profit column. Sell or re-route vehicles that lose money year after year.
• A low average load in a vehicle's window means too many vehicles on that route, or too big ones.
• A station's window shows what was picked up, delivered and earned there last month.
