Bitmax Receives "Unqualified" Audit Opinion... Signals Improvement in Financial Structure and Performance Growth

KOSDAQ-listed company Bitmax has raised expectations for the recovery of its financial stability after receiving an "unqualified" opinion in its external audit.

Bitmax announced on the 17th that it received an "unqualified" opinion in the external audit for the previous fiscal year. The company explained that this audit result dispelled concerns recently raised in some parts of the market regarding the possibility of delisting or substantive examination.

A company representative said, "Through this audit, the reliability of our financial statements has been officially recognized," and added, "The loss recorded last year was an accounting valuation loss that did not involve any cash outflow, so there is no problem with our business competitiveness or fundamentals." The representative also stated, "We also expect to resolve the reasons for potential designation as an administrative issue within this year."

Bitmax plans to accelerate its efforts to improve its financial structure following the receipt of the unqualified audit opinion. On March 9, the company disclosed that it would pursue a 4-to-1 capital reduction without consideration to escape administrative designation and normalize finances. Through this measure, Bitmax aims to proactively resolve capital impairment issues and strengthen its financial soundness.

The company is also working on financial efficiency. Recently, Bitmax adjusted the interest rate on its convertible bonds (CB) to 0%, reducing financial expenses, and thereby secured an improvement in annual cash flow of approximately 3 billion won. The savings are expected to be used as resources for new business investments.

The core business supporting the company's financial stability is its System Integration (SI) division. Bitmax's SI division has maintained stable annual sales in the 30 billion won range, serving as the company's main "cash cow" based on partnerships with major affiliates of Samsung and other large corporations.

This division has built a stable revenue base over the past 20 years through experience in implementing key industrial solutions such as Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). Recently, Bitmax has set its sights on becoming an AI-based data analytics company, benchmarking global big data analytics firm Palantir and participating in and investing in related projects.

In addition, the company is targeting the AI Transformation (AI Transformation·AX) solution market by applying its proprietary spatial computing technology, AR SDK v6.0, to manufacturing sites. Bitmax also plans to introduce AI-based data analytics solutions that collect and analyze industrial data to support corporate decision-making.

Bitmax CEO Hong Sanghyuk stated, "Receiving an unqualified opinion from the external audit is an important milestone that reflects the company's management transparency and efforts to improve finances," adding, "With the 4-to-1 capital reduction and cost structure improvements, we have mitigated financial risk and will focus on business growth and enhancing corporate value this year."

He further emphasized, "The 'unqualified' opinion from the external audit is an important milestone demonstrating the company's management transparency and efforts to improve finances," and stated, "With the 4-to-1 capital reduction and cost structure improvements, we have mitigated financial risk and will focus on business growth and enhancing corporate value this year."
