The company closed last year at a loss: costs ran above sales. The picture changes only if spending is reined in.

99% of all revenue comes from a single line: Screening Services.

That much dependence is a risk in itself: if this one line weakens, the whole company feels it directly.

FINALE · THE GRADE
D
0 / 100 · MoonshotScore

On our five-subject report card, STER sits behind the class. A low grade doesn’t mean “doomed” — it means “big claim, small proof.”

The takeaway: STER has solid sales but closed last year at a loss. The road back to profit runs through spending discipline.
