What is a profit and loss approach?
There is no "Profit and loss account". There is a profit and loss statement, the income statement.

Retained earnings shows the resulting effect of how the company has done over a period of time. If the retained earnings value is positve, then you've been having more profitable years than loss years. If the retained earnings is negative, then you;ve had more losses that profits.
