From a recent evaluation of REFR’s potential problems. Interesting.

Extreme revenue concentration is just one of REFR’s many problems. 84% of 2024 fee income came from just four licensees, exposing the business to massive swings if any falter—as seen with a European licensee's recent bankruptcy, which hammered royalties and financial performance. With no in-house manufacturing and over 40 licensees (many inactive or terminated), REFR is essentially a passive royalty collector betting on others' execution in a nascent market; lose a key partner, and revenues crater.
