Nope.

I have had the same problem. Profits are okay but more money than I am making is being pumped in to corps and it's costing a small fortune each month.

Same thing here.

The listed profits appear to be false. Supply (or salary) costs appear to be about 12.5% higher than what is reported. It is very difficult to track without having the 'server-side' interface to see all the data, but using a new corporation that had no sales and one world month production, it appeared that this was the cause.

On top of that, if enterprise profits are falsely high, then the 'Enterprise Tax' would also be charging extra.

Here is an example:
An enterprise called "Good, Bad and Ugly"" say has about 500 corporations.

"The Good"
Each corporation is doing OK, but not great, and say they make about 4.5B SC$ in sales per world month (about 54B SC$ per world year).

Costs are "reported" at say 4B SC$ per world month, for a "profit" of 0.5B SC$ (or 500M SC$).

OK, so that looks pretty goo

fix your ugly or shut down the ugly
0% profit payment is better
If you want the money you must get the power.
So if you have stuff that don't have power you can't get the money
first you get the power then come the money never forget that
stop at 300 quality any more and you waste the money
also the power does cost some aka upgrades

also, often i can check a corp that says its making money, but it keeps taking out loans. because the cash level just is not going up. even though the corp may have always been making a profit.

We checked many corporations and we see no systematic problem.
there was also no change recently that could cause this.

short term, corporate profit does not correlate to corporate cash.
Long term it does.

Corporations buy raw materials in large quantities and also, the cost of upgrades goes off the cash, not influencing the profit.

We will keep watching it.

So Tom, what would you put 4 enterprises going from profitable with no cash flow issues to still profitable but losing billions and products which sold with no problems on a commonly used trade strategy now do not sell for several months?

It isn't the purchase of raw materials which has caused these problems and it isn't upgrades being bought.

I am now losing several trillion a day and I would like to know why.

Incidentally, no corporations were bought, sold or moved - Enterprise tax is being miscalculated and not in a beneficial way.

I'm not seeing any of this. 2 LU CEOs, 2 KB ones.

I think you need to look a bit more carefully at trends and the figures, I'm not sure.

Whats your CEO name kite, and if you want I can see if I can find anything, two heads is always better than one.

Seeing the same here. Two countries, little if any change in settings, number of corps, infrastructure, etc., but have had a drop from 40 to 60% in profit for a few game months now, spec. from enterprise corps.
