Revenue was over $1M in the last completed year. Your books are reconciled and current to within the last 45 days. At least one decision in the next 12 months — a hire, a lease, equipment, debt, a big contract — is large enough that getting it wrong would hurt. You have been surprised by a cash crunch in the last year even though the P&L looked fine. You could not say, right now, how many weeks of operating cash you have.
