?But four months in (the current financial year) and we are on track for our financial targets. The banks are very pleased with the progress the football club has made.

?The forecast for this year .... is we are on plan for this business to wash its face on what really is the first stage of the road to recovery, because if a business can?t cover its costs it should not be in business."

Can someone please explain if the above means that:

NCFC plan to make a profit this year?
NCFC plan to break even this year?
NCFC plan to lose less money this year than in previous years?
