Negative Equity & LeverageNegative equity and a more levered balance sheet materially raise financial risk and constrain flexibility. This structural weakness can limit financing options, increase cost of capital, and pressure strategic choices over many months unless equity or deleveraging measures are completed.
Persistent Negative Cash FlowOngoing negative operating and free cash flow means the business is not self‑funding and remains dependent on external capital. Even with reduced burn, persistent negative cash generation increases execution risk and the need for durable financing over the next 2–6 months.
Near‑Term Funding Gap & Execution RiskLimited liquidity ($7.7M) versus an estimated ~$28M equity contribution for the India JV creates a concrete funding gap. Meeting this requirement is critical to project timelines and financing syndication; failure would delay construction, increase dilution risk, or impair commercial rollout.
