The substantial deterioration in operating cash flow represents a critical concern for this business development company's ability to generate cash from its investment operations. Combined with higher borrowing costs and declining equity, this pattern suggests ICMB may be facing challenges in its core lending and investment activities that could impact its dividend sustainability and overall financial stability.
