High Cash Burn And Weak Cash GenerationPersistent negative operating and free cash flow (~-$6.1M TTM) means the company requires ongoing external financing to fund development and operations. This reduces strategic optionality, pressures timing of trials/manufacturing scale-up, and increases dependency on capital markets or partners over the medium term.
Very Small Revenue Base And Persistent LossesWith minimal revenue and sustained negative margins, the core business has not demonstrated scalable commercial traction. The wind-down of ClearUP further reduces near-term product sales, meaning the company must rely on successful biopharma pivots or external funding to achieve sustainable revenues.
Acquisition Financing Raises Leverage And Dilution RiskFinancing the Scorpius asset purchase with sizable debt and preferred convertible equity materially increases leverage and potential dilution. This complicates capital structure, elevates fixed obligations or conversion risk, and may constrain future financings or shareholder value if development timelines slip.
