Liquidity Concerns: Cash and cash equivalents decreased significantly from $7.4 million to $2.9 million, indicating potential liquidity issues.
Debt Management Risk: The company still carries a total debt of $4.4 million, which, while reduced, may still pose a risk to financial stability if not managed properly.
