$32.4M market value
Revenue last year:
$67.6M
The loss that same year:
$18.4M
For every $1 it earns, the company spends $1.3.

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 have been shrinking.

An average decline of 3% 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:
$15.1M
DEBT: $33.5M
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
0.5×

This company is not turning a profit, so the market is pricing its sales instead: 0.5× for every dollar of annual revenue.

No analyst target is on record for this company.

THE FIVE-YEAR JOURNEY
Bumpy, but the direction is up.

The stock trades near its peak today. For long-term holders the ride has paid off so far — though past performance guarantees nothing about the future.

1
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 1/1
The product is selling

Sales run at $67.6M a year. A small number, but proof the product has real buyers.

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

A loss of $18.4M against $67.6M 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 grade companies — revenue, margins, balance sheets. This is a fund, so there is no report card to give. That is not a low grade; it is a different kind of thing.

One-line summary: a basket, not a business. Judge it by what it holds.
