Liquidity and Capital Resources In assessing our liquidity, we monitor and analyze our cash-on-hand and operating and capital expenditure commitments. Our liquidity needs meet our working capital requirements, operating expenses, and capital expenditure obligations. In the reporting period in the fiscal period ended September 30, 2022 , our primary sources of financing have been cash generated from operations and private placements. As of September 30, 2022 , we had cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) of $0.31 million compared to $1.13 million as of December 31, 2021 . The debt to assets ratio was 35.94% and 40.41% as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 , respectively. We expect to continue to finance our operations and working capital needs in 2022 from cash generated from operations and, if needed, private financings. Suppose available liquidity is insufficient to meet our operating and loan obligations as they come due. In that case, our plans include pursuing alternative financing arrangements or reducing expenditures as necessary to meet our cash requirements. However, there is no assurance that we will raise additional capital or reduce discretionary spending to provide liquidity if needed. We cannot be sure of the availability or terms of any alternative financing arrangements. 4 The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statement periods presented in this report. © Edgar Online, source Glimpses
