The written read of your results. It tells you what your statements show, what is driving it, and where pressure is building. Rules-based analysis produces the figures, and an AI-written summary explains them in plain English.
Results are deteriorating, and the pressure is broad. Revenue went from $2,500,000 in October to $2,300,000 in November and $2,000,000 in December, a movement of -20% from October to December. Operating expenses stayed level at $739,000 in October and $738,000 in December. Net income was -$39,000 in October, -$93,000 in November and -$178,000 in December. In plain terms, sales shrank while the cost of running the business did not, and the gap widened each month.
The cash position is thin. Cash is $285,000, which covers 12 days of operating expense. Operating cash flow over the three months was -$584,000, and the supplied runway at the current burn rate is 1.5 months. That runway excludes debt. Debt due within 12 months is $2,330,000, so meeting it requires more cash than the business holds today, for example from collecting receivables, improving results, or financing. These are areas to explore with a lender, investors or an advisor.
The business looks well-off on paper but is cash-poor. Working capital is $4,746,000, yet less-liquid assets are $7,960,000, or 75% of current assets. Inventory is $6,200,000. Receivables more than 30 days past due total $2,360,000 of the $3,898,000 total. Payables are $2,900,000. The books are on an accrual basis, so profit and cash can move differently. The owner may want to explain to lenders or advisors why revenue declined, as the statements do not show the reason.
