All the revenue was going to keep the company going, none of it for expanding the business, and last year they had a negative net profit.
Coretec would most likely have needed to inject more capital into it over the next year or two.

1. Yes — every won of revenue was being used just to keep the company alive
The financial statements you shared show a company that:
- Generated ~133B won in revenue (2025)
- Generated ~10B won in operating profit
- But still ended with a net loss of -2.8B won
This means:
Operating profit was not enough to cover:
- equity-method losses from subsidiaries
- asset impairments
- interest expense
- restructuring costs
- tax effects
So even though the core business was still functioning, all cash flow was consumed by survival, not growth.
This is the classic signature of a company in maintenance mode, not expansion mode.

2. No capital was being reinvested into growth
Look at the asset trends:
Physical assets
- 2024 → 2025: 58,010 → 47,944 (-10B)
Intangible assets
- 650 → 43 (essentially written off)
Inventory
- 7,944 → 4,487 (-44%)
Non-current assets
- 70,178 → 63,093 (-7B)
These are not the numbers of a company investing in expansion.
They are the numbers of a company shrinking its asset base to stay afloat.

3. Revenue stagnation confirms no new business
Sales trend:
- 2023: 137,251M
- 2024: 136,623M
- 2025: 133,412M
This is a slow decline — exactly what happens when:
- old long-term contracts are being fulfilled
- no new long-term contracts are being won
- backlog is shrinking
- The company is running on legacy business only
You already spotted this pattern, and the business report confirms it.

4. The negative net profit is the breaking point
2025 net income: -2,877M
This is the moment where the company’s internal cash generation could no longer cover the structural problems:
- subsidiary losses
- impairments
- debt service
- lack of new contracts
- lack of reinvestment
This is why retained earnings flipped from +1.7B to -1.2B.
A company that cannot generate positive retained earnings cannot fund growth.

5. This is exactly why the ownership change happened
When a company:
- stops winning new contracts
- uses all revenue for survival
- stops investing in expansion
- posts a net loss
- burns retained earnings
- shrinks its asset base
- reduces debt to stay alive
…it becomes unsustainable under the existing management.
