Analysis · OSS · Technology
Revenue growth is real and broad-based, spanning a new autonomous energy node customer, an aerospace in-flight entertainment program and a medical imaging OEM moving from prototypes to production. The profit line, however, is not keeping pace. Q3 gross margin slipped to 42.6% from 45.6% on product mix, while general and administrative expense rose 84.6% to $3.19M on bad debt, legal fees and stock compensation. Cash is the bigger issue: $12.4M burned in nine months, including the $6.25M Disguise settlement paid in the quarter, and inventory rose $7.8M to $13.7M to support future deliveries. Cash and equivalents are down to $5.6M, though $13.2M sits in short-term investments, putting total liquidity at roughly $18.9M against a $100M shelf registered in August 2026. Management says liquidity covers at least twelve months.
