on the stock market since 1980
33 employees
$7.5M market value
Revenue last year:
$2M
The loss that same year:
$9.8M
For every $1 it earns, the company spends $6.

The company closed last year at a loss: costs ran above sales. The picture changes only if spending is reined in.

In the vault right now:
$9.5M
DEBT: $1.2M
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 RISKS · 1/3
Small sales, big loss

A loss of $9.8M against $2.0M in annual sales. And on top of that, sales fell from the year before.

THE RISKS · 2/3
Trading under $1

The stock sits at $0.46. Under exchange rules, stocks that stay below $1 for too long risk being removed from the market.

THE RISKS · 3/3
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.
