The company closed last year at a loss: costs ran above sales. The picture changes only if spending is reined in.
An average decline of 25% a year over the last 4 years — the most striking risk in this picture. Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.
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.
An investor who bought at the very peak is down 75% today. The business is the same; what changed most is the price — and the expectations — the market pins on it.
The company sells $838K a year; the problem isn’t sales — it’s costs running above that number.
A loss of $2.9M against $838K in annual sales.
The stock sits at $0.0001. Under exchange rules, stocks that stay below $1 for too long risk being removed from the market.
