Rhea AI BDRL FY2022

Working capital and liabilities are carrying the business while operations remain cash-negative despite a partial margin recovery.

From the prior year, operating margin improved to -11.8%, yet operating cash flow still ran at -$1.4M, so better accounting performance did not translate into self-financing operations. Cash at $79K and debt-to-equity at 13.0x show that the repair was funded by stretching the balance sheet rather than by cash generated inside the business.

Liquidity is tied up in working capital, not in cash: inventory plus receivables were about $7.4M against only $79K of cash. That makes day-to-day flexibility depend on turning stock into sales and collecting customers on time, and the sub-1.0 current ratio leaves little room for slippage.

The business shows a gross-to-operating gap: gross margin was 30.2% in the latest year, but net margin was -16.1% after overhead and financing costs. With a thin equity base of $1.1M against liabilities of $13.9M, leverage is now highly sensitive to additional losses or working-capital swings.

Financial health score not available

Blonder Tongue does not currently provide enough eligible data for a peer-relative financial health score, so none is published. The signals and metrics below are current.

Altman Z-Score Distress
-2.09

Blonder Tongue scores -2.09, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($260K) relative to total liabilities ($13.9M). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.

Piotroski F-Score Partial
1/8

Blonder Tongue passes 1 of 8 computable financial strength tests (1 of the nine could not be computed from available data). 1 of 4 profitability signals pass, no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), neither operating efficiency signal passes.

Earnings Quality No Cash Backing
N/A

Blonder Tongue reported a net loss of $2.9M while operations used $1.4M of cash. With neither figure positive, the ratio between the two carries no quality signal.

Interest Coverage At Risk
N/A

Blonder Tongue reported an operating loss of $2.1M against $789K in interest expense. There is no operating profit to cover interest, so interest must be met from cash reserves or from financing rather than from operations.
