Risk factors to consider:
History of Losses: The company has a history of net losses, negative EPS, and RoNW. It needs to generate and sustain increased revenues while managing expenses to achieve profitability. Failure to do so may adversely affect business, operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
Client Acquisition and Retention: Attracting new clients and retaining existing ones, many of whom have short-term service agreements, is crucial. The inability to secure or maintain sufficient client agreements may negatively impact business and financial performance.
Partnership with Space Owners: The MA model requires partnering with space owners on profit or revenue-sharing terms. The inability to attract new space owners on favorable terms may hinder business growth and profitability.
