On the stock market since 1980, it operates in the everyday-essentials business. It has 668 employees. Now — the numbers.
The company closed last year at a loss: costs ran above sales. The picture changes only if spending is reined in.
That much dependence is a risk in itself: if this one line weakens, the whole company feels it directly.
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.
We compared this company with its own sector across five subjects.
A score of 50 means class average.
Clearly below the class average.
A solid grade overall — yet the debt outweighs the cash. The strength here comes from earnings power.
Clearly below the class average.
The price is looking for direction — no strong breakout, no collapse.

angles, checked one by one.
The 3 that stand out are on screen; the rest came back neutral.
The council scores out of 10; report-card grades are out of 100.
Profit per Sale: The profit kept from each sale is thin.
The stock trades 58% below its peak. The market has trimmed its expectations for the company.
The company sells $231.0M a year; the problem isn’t sales — it’s costs running above that number.
Over the last 12 months, company executives reported 15 buys and 0 sells. Management buying with its own money is usually read as a good sign.
It pays out $0.05 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.
A loss of $13.4M against $231.0M in annual sales.
At the current pace of spending, the cash lasts less than a year. After that, the company needs to find new money.
On our five-subject report card, BRID sits behind the class. A low grade doesn’t mean “doomed” — it means “big claim, small proof.”
The takeaway: BRID is a small company that closed last year at a loss. The road back to profit runs through spending discipline.
