WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM?
42%Products
ProductsConsumables 25%Instruments 17%Service and Other Revenue 16%
42% of all revenue comes from a single line: Products.

Revenue is spread across several lines; no single product carries the company.

Revenue last year:
$64.8M
The loss that same year:
$74.9M
For every $1 it earns, the company spends $2.

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 9% 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:
$187.6M
DEBT: $30.8M
At this pace, that money lasts about 2.5 years.

At this burn rate the cash pile isn’t the pressing question — for now, time is on the company’s side.

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.
