Business Outlook

Pros

Not much left of the company now. It had a really good environment, but since they sold off their only profitable drug, they didn't really have a lot of future. They have some runway now with cash, but I don't think they are doing much research to drive the business forward.

Cons

Not much to say now, I think they are looking for a way to salvage the value of the company.
