However, by June 30, 2023, the ROA declined sharply to -1.89%, reflecting a transition into an operational or net loss position relative to total assets. This negative ROA persisted through September 30, 2023, maintaining the same level at -1.89%, suggesting sustained challenges in generating profitable returns on assets during that timeframe.

Between June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2025, there was a notable improvement in ROA performance. The figure improved from -1.08% to 0.01%, ultimately crossing into a marginally positive territory. This progression indicates a gradual recovery in the company's efficiency in utilizing its assets to generate profit, culminating in a near breakeven point by mid-2025.

Overall, the data reflects a period of financial distress or operational difficulties following a relatively profitable year in September 2022, with the company experiencing negative profitability in subsequent periods before stabilizing at a minimal positive level in mid-2025. This trend underscores the importance of analyzing underlying factors such as revenue generation, cost management, asset utilization, and strategic adjustments that may have influenced the company's evolving ROA profile.
