Uhm, profit is a fact of accounting. Any increase in equity (or "net assets", or whatever other euphemism the accountant decides to use) on a balance sheet is profit. Revenue is something completely different.

Change in net asset is calculated the same as net profit, but is not the same in an accounting sense.

Constitutive to profit is a return to private stakeholders, holding assets in reserve or re-investing in capital is not the same.

This is incorrect. Any increase in equity is not profit, and profit is not shown on the balance sheet.

Profit is revenue minus expenses, also known as net income, and is shown on the income statement:
