FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

CTOR's financial position deteriorated significantly with operating cash flow swinging from positive $126K to negative $5.5M, while the company built substantial inventory ($8.3M to $22.3M) ahead of LYMPHIR's December 2025 launch. Despite growing total assets to $100.9M, liabilities increased 46.7% to $56.1M and operating losses widened to $23.5M, creating the cash burn crisis that triggered the going concern qualification. The inventory build and asset growth suggest preparation for commercialization, but the severe cash flow deterioration raises questions about the company's ability to fund operations through the critical launch period.
