Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A net loss is when total expenses (including taxes, fees, interest, and depreciation) exceed the income or revenue produced for a given period of time.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is a Loss? A loss is an excess of expenses over revenues, either for a single business transaction or in reference to the sum of all transactions for an accounting period.

Since the loss is outside of the main activity of a business, it is reported as a nonoperating or other loss. To learn more, see Explanation of Income Statement.
