RFE on ability to pay

I recently got an RFE on ability to pay.
I'm the only H1B employee in my company and the size of my company is small (about 30-35 employees).
I read the "Ability to Pay" post by UnitedNations on the vermont thread. It was very informative. I have a few questions.
The post says that the net income of the company should be more than the difference between the proferred wage and the actual wages. In my case the difference is about $1500. Wouldn't any company's net income be more than $1500? I'm pretty sure that my company has a net income more than $1500. Wouldn't the size of the company make a difference there. Suppose my company's net income is $2000 and there are about 40 employees, then it doesn't look good right? I'm sorry if my questions sound dumb. I'm just trying to understand this concept here.
I appreciate your comments.

Thanks in advance
 
Net income = the amount a company pays taxes on. This is also referred to as "Profit" or "Loss" as the case may be before taxes. This means that after all expenses of your company (including salaries, expenses, health insurances, payroll taxes etc, compensation to officers, dividends. etc.) are deducted from your companies Gross income, what you are left with is the taxable income.

Most companies like to reduce the net income as much as possible so they owe little or nothing in taxes. So the size of the company has nothing to do with how much the net income may be. When GM reports a loss, their net income was negative.
