Insights

The financial results paint a concerning picture of SNTG's operational performance. The company reported zero revenue for H1 2024, down from just $82 in the previous year, while net losses widened to $1.12 million. The cash position deteriorated from $2.26 million to $1.61 million, with operating activities burning through $1.09 million. Most worrying is the 30% increase in consulting expenses to $534,675, representing nearly half of total operating expenses, while generating no revenue.

The complete absence of revenue while maintaining significant operating expenses raises serious questions about business viability. The company's attempt to pivot into new businesses appears to be consuming cash without showing tangible progress. With the current cash burn rate, liquidity could become a critical concern within the next few quarters unless the company secures additional financing or successfully launches revenue-generating operations.
