Screen verdict
Did not qualify for any screen.
Warning signs
- Accounts declared unreliable The company told the SEC that previously issued financial statements should no longer be relied upon. Every figure on this page that predates that filing is drawn from statements the company itself has withdrawn.
- Losing money before interest is even paid The company made an operating loss, so interest is not covered at all - the debt is being serviced from cash reserves, asset sales or new borrowing rather than from the business.
- Shareholders diluted The share count rose 79.0% over the year, from 28m to 51m shares. Each existing share owns a smaller fraction of the company than it did a year ago.
- Gross margin narrowing Gross margin fell from 38.8% to 25.3%. The company is keeping less of each dollar of sales than it did a year ago.
