Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / Current year

German term or phrase: HR

This occurs as a caption in a PowerPoint presentation. The context is financial results over time. Previous years' financial results = Ist, current year (2009) = *HR*, future = Plan. If it makes a difference, it's a Swiss company (most of the text seems to be generic German). This plainly has nothing to do with "Human Resources"
Thanks, Kevin

Commercial Register

Explanation:
Could be Handelsregister = Commerical Register, or Handelsrecht = Book depreciation, or (more likely) Hochrechnung = extrapolation.

Or, for Hochrechnung, which I think most likely, use "projection" (better than extrapolation, I think).
