The controller’s read

What the filings say.

Generated from the numbers above using the same questions I ask when I open a client’s books: how long the cash lasts, what is driving the gap between loss and burn, and where the accounting judgment sits.

About 18 months of runway

Cash and investments of $6.7M at Q2 '26 against an average operating cash burn of $1.1M per quarter over the last four reported quarters runs out around December 2027. Between one and two years is the window where the next raise gets planned; the terms depend on what the data does before the cash does.

Cash position down $1.5M since Q3 '24

Net financing inflows of $2.9M over the last four quarters, from equity, debt, or ATM sales, partly offset operating burn. The balance is the number the board watches; the trend is the number the auditors watch.

Accumulated deficit of $276M

Total losses since inception. It is also roughly the size of the net operating loss carryforward the tax provision has to track, subject to Section 382 limits after each ownership change.
