These 27 Largest Nevada Corps had Audited under US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP) Total After-tax Net Income From Continuing Operations of $2.3 bil in the most recent fiscal year 2013, when Harry Reid was a Democratic Nevada US Senator, when Barack Obama was President and when the US Federal Reserve was headed by the brilliant twosome of Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen. This was a massive Audited Earnings Improvement of $10.5 bil as compared with the $8.2 bil Audited Net Loss generated five years earlier in 2008, the last year of the Bush/Cheney Administration, when the US financial meltdown occurred, which particularly devastated the State of Nevada, its residents and its businesses.
So if the question to be answered is whether, in the aggregate, these 27 Nevada Companies are better off now than they were in the last year of the Bush/Cheney Administration, the answer is clearly yes, and substantially so to the tune of $10.5 bil better, as earnings performance is measured by the prestigious US Accounting Profession.
And in the most recent fiscal year 2013 the Total Audited Net Earnings of these 27 Nevada Companies of $2.314 bil was a truly off-the-charts 780% above that of just one year earlier in 2012 of only $0.263 bil.
Below here is the Audited under US GAAP After-tax Net Income or Net Loss for each of these 27 Nevada Companies for 2013, 2012, 2009 and 2008. The overwhelming majority of these Companies have a December Fiscal Year End (FYE).
