54% of all revenue comes from a single line: Good.

The biggest line carries real weight, but it doesn’t decide everything on its own.

Revenue last year:
$795.5M
The loss that same year:
$69.1M
For every $1 it earns, the company spends $1.1.

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

THE SALES TREND
Sales have been shrinking.

An average decline of 7% a year over the last 4 years — the most striking risk in this picture. Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.

At this pace, that money lasts less than a year.

Before the clock runs out, either sales must climb sharply or new money must come in. This is the most critical line in the whole picture.

44 buy21 sell

THE FIVE-YEAR JOURNEY
A long and steep decline.

An investor who bought at the very peak is down 97% today. The business is the same; what changed most is the price — and the expectations — the market pins on it.

THE BRIGHT SIDE · 1/1

THE RISKS · 1/2
The losses continue

A loss of $69.1M against $795.5M in annual sales. And on top of that, sales fell from the year before.

2
THE RISKS · 2/2
The cash has a countdown

At the current pace of spending, the cash lasts less than a year. After that, the company needs to find new money.

FINALE · THE GRADE
grade pending

We don’t have a report card for this stock yet — the data isn’t mature enough to grade. No grade is information too: it means the evidence is thin.

One-line summary: few numbers, an untested story. Keep watching.
