The earnings call reveals several concerning factors: a significant revenue decline, increased operating losses, and persistent negative gross profit. Despite partnerships with NVIDIA and others, the lack of a share repurchase program and a projected EBITDA loss of up to $35 million exacerbate financial health concerns.
