I cannot see any business or anyone unless they are very rich to have £18,600 left in their bank account after paying for housekeeping,taxes,utility bills etc.

Please...,,,,,, Please...,tell me it is not a net profit.

Nett profit is what you have left after paying your company expenses, and nothing to do with house keeping or utility bills. In effect it's what you or your accountant have declared to the tax man that you've earned in that financial year.
