OK, you just have no idea how to read the financials then. Simply put, the net loss on the consolidated statement of operations is by no means the same as cash burn! With regard to continuing dilution, this is a pre-revenue company. For cripes sake, anybody with the slightest clue knows that they have to sell stock to pay their expenses until they reach profitability. If that upsets you or is any surprise to you at all you most definitely should not be buying individual stocks, especially not development-stage companies! Until you have a better understanding of how these businesses work you really, really ought to stick to investing in mutual funds.

The key measure of how dangerous to current stock the dilution is, is the RATE of dilution. Since you can't correctly read the financials to understand what the cash burn rate is, you are seriously handicapped in correctly understanding this measurement. I strongly suggest that you read up on how to read the statements.

Meanwhile trust me, the dilution rate is 5% annually. If that scares a lot you then surely this investment is not for you and never was.
