Persistent Cash BurnConsistent and sizable negative operating cash flow implies ongoing funding needs and reliance on external capital. Over 2–6 months this pressures runway, forces dilutive financing or deal concessions, and limits the company’s ability to advance development or commercialize independently.
Negative Shareholders' EquityNegative equity reflects cumulative losses and weak capitalisation, constraining borrowing capacity and increasing financing cost. Structurally this heightens vulnerability to funding shocks and may require equity issuance or asset sales to restore balance sheet health.
Small, Declining Revenue And Worsening MarginsA small, shrinking revenue base and deteriorating gross/operating margins indicate weak commercial traction and limited operating leverage. Over months this undermines partner negotiating power, slows scale-up potential, and increases the challenge of moving to sustained profitability.
