This difference seems to be mainly from significantly higher R&D costs compared to 2012 (56 vs 16 million, respectively). They're currently sitting at around 104 million in total assets. They also started the year with a total of 506 employees and ended with 530. That's across all their offices.
So yeah, take that for what you will. I'm guessing getting Dust up and running was a factor in the higher operating cost. From what I can see this is a good thing, yes they are down on profits for one year but they have 2 projects in the running that both got started during that financial staement. Dust went into release state and valkerie became so popular it went from proof of concept to full blown game. The fact they are willing to invest at all shows that they are confidant in their earning potentials.
+2 more titles yet to to be concepted fully.

TV concept likely to not take funding from the studio itself but the tv studio in question.
