“·” means the filing's statement has no such line. A line whose wording changed only in its profit/loss sign (“Net loss”, “Net income (loss)”) is kept on one row; hover the name to see the other wordings. A line dropped in one period and a similarly worded one added in the next is joined on one row marked “Reworded”; check the note before relying on it. Columns of a cash flow statement cover the months the filing says (a quarterly report adds the quarters of the year so far).
