WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM?
77%Products
ProductsServices 23%
77% of all revenue comes from a single line: Products.

That much dependence is a risk in itself: if this one line weakens, the whole company feels it directly.

Revenue last year:
$127.3M
The loss that same year:
$159.5M
For every $1 it earns, the company spends $2.

The company is still in the product-building phase: its spending runs far 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:
$196.5M
DEBT: $250.5M
At this pace, that money lasts about 1.2 years.

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.

Executives buying with their own money is usually read as confidence in the company’s future.

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.

1
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 1/2
The product is selling

Sales run at $127.3M a year. A small number, but proof the product has real buyers.

2
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 2/2
Executives are buying their own stock

Over the last 12 months, company executives reported 56 buys and 38 sells. Management buying with its own money is usually read as a good sign.

1
THE RISKS · 1/3
Small sales, big loss

A loss of $159.5M against $127.3M in annual sales. And on top of that, sales fell from the year before.

2
THE RISKS · 2/3
Trading under $1

The stock sits at $0.11. Under exchange rules, stocks that stay below $1 for too long risk being removed from the market.

3
THE RISKS · 3/3
The cash has a countdown

At the current pace of spending, the cash lasts about 1.2 years. After that, the company needs to find new money.

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.
