Operational costs rose by 9% compared to the last quarter, primarily due to higher costs of materials consumed and employee expenses, indicating challenges in cost management. The balance sheet remains under pressure, reflected in a continued loss.

Looking ahead, the company may need to focus on cost efficiency and innovative strategies to improve profitability. Given the current financial performance and operational challenges, a cautious approach is suggested for investors.
