Screen verdict
Did not qualify for any screen.
Warning signs
- Bankruptcy model reads distressed The Altman score sits inside the range historically associated with financial distress. It is used here only to exclude, never to rank, and it is a statistical band rather than a prediction about this company.
- 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.
