WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM?
76%Products
ProductsOther Revenue 24%
76% of all revenue comes from a single line: Products.

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

Revenue last year:
$83.8M
The loss that same year:
$240.7M
For every $1 it earns, the company spends $4.

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 24% a year over the last 4 years — the most striking risk in this picture. Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.

In the vault right now:

DEBT: $358.2M
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.

THE PRICE TAG
MARKET VALUE / ANNUAL SALES
0.6×

This company is not turning a profit, so the market is pricing its sales instead: 0.6× for every dollar of annual revenue.

Analysts' average target sits 175% above today's price.

THE FIVE-YEAR JOURNEY
A long and steep decline.

An investor who bought at the very peak is down 99% today. The business is the same; what changed most is the price — and the expectations — the market pins on it.

1
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 1/1
Sales are holding up

The company sells $83.8M a year; the problem isn’t sales — it’s costs running above that number.

1
THE RISKS · 1/2
Small sales, big loss

A loss of $240.7M against $83.8M in annual sales.

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

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.
