It is impossible for net profit to be greater than gross profit. Gross profit is the income made before any expenses. Net profit is less once all expenses have been deducted.
A business can earn a positive gross profit on its sales and still have a net loss. The gross profit is simply the sales minus cost of goods sold. If the gross profit is less than expenditure, it will result into a net loss.
There is no profit.

profit
Most probably, yes. Gross Profit is the gain made solely from trading activities: the difference between the revenue received from sales and how much their cost of purchase/production was. Net Profit, however, will take into account other incomes (such as rent from sub-let premises, profit from disposal and decrease in provision for doubtful debts) and expenses (both cash and non-cash such as rent and depreciation, respectively). Now, it is possible that these other sources of income are more than the expenses incurred in the running of the business, which will lead to net profit being higher than gross profit but it is most unlikely as nearly all, if not all, businesses' expenses exceed other sources of income!
If revenue is less than costs, the gross profit is negative -- it is not a profitable company.
Gross and Net profit are virtually the same. They both calculate EBT, earnings before taxes - all overhead and salaries.
Companies make a profit when their gross income is greater than their expenses. Expenses can include renting equipment and paying employees.

Well, if you making less than 5% of the gross sales as your profit after all expenses, then you have small profit margins.
