On the stock market since 1993, it operates in the everyday-essentials business. It has 293 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.
An average decline of 8% 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.

Business Quality: Profit power and business quality trail similar companies in the sector.
Valuation: The stock trades at a price that looks expensive next to its earnings; that can cap future returns.
An investor who bought at the very peak is down 89% today. The business is the same; what changed most is the price — and the expectations — the market pins on it.
The company sells $129.9M a year; the problem isn’t sales — it’s costs running above that number.
Over the last 12 months, company executives reported 23 buys and 7 sells. Management buying with its own money is usually read as a good sign.
A loss of $13.6M against $129.9M 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, NAII sits behind the class. A low grade doesn’t mean “doomed” — it means “big claim, small proof.”
The takeaway: NAII is a small company that closed last year at a loss. The road back to profit runs through spending discipline.
The total grade weighs these five subjects against the sector — it isn’t a simple average of the five.
