The going-concern warning and rapidly depleting cash reserves make this a high-risk situation. Monitor the company's ability to draw on the remaining EUR 41.1 million of shareholder credit lines and progress on the SKM Project's RTB milestone in Q4 2026, which is critical for potential equity infusion. Any delay in securing additional financing or project milestones would accelerate distress.
