'cash flow' is a RATE. It is the rate at which they are burning cash per quarter. $41m cash flow negative means that they they spent $41m more than they took in that quarter (roughly). So, if IOM has $68m in cash, they will burn it in less than two quarters unless they tap into some method of financing.

A company that is 'cash flow negative' is unstable because they will EVENTUALLY go out of business if the situation isn't rectified. CHANGE IS REQUIRED!!! IMO: If IOM keeps doing more of the same they are in trouble.

You should NOT invest in a cash flow negative company unless you are SURE they can turn things around. In other words, status quo will lead to bankruptcy...

Hope that helps!!
