on the stock market since 1996
1,295 employees
$903 market value
Revenue last year:
$268.2M
The loss that same year:
$27.3M
For every $1 it earns, the company spends $1.1.

The company is still in the product-building phase: its spending runs above its sales. That only changes once the product starts selling at scale.

THE SALES TREND
Sales are moving sideways.

No real growth (4% a year). Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.

In the vault right now:
$9.3M
DEBT: $58.9M
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 FIVE-YEAR JOURNEY
A long and steep decline.

An investor who bought at the very peak is down 100% 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

1
THE RISKS · 1/3
Running at a loss

A loss of $27.3M against $268.2M in annual sales.

2
THE RISKS · 2/3
Trading under $1

The stock sits at $0.0001. Under exchange rules, stocks that stay below $1 for too long risk being removed from the market.

THE RISKS · 3/3
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
