1) Brief Summary: The company has been experiencing significant performance decline over the past month and quarter, with performance decreases of -36.49% and -38.44% respectively. The average trading volume is considerably higher than the current volume, indicating a potential lack of interest from traders. The company's short interest ratio of 0.04 and a short float of 1.87% suggest that there may be a bearish sentiment among investors. The company's sales growth over the past year is impressive but the quarterly sales have declined dramatically by -94.12%. The company's ROE and ROI are alarmingly negative, indicating a poor return on equity and investment. The company's RSI index of 29.78 suggests it may be oversold. The company's insider ownership is quite high, which can be both a positive and negative sign. The recent insider transactions indicate a significant acquisition of shares. 2) MARKET_SCORE: Given the overall negative performance and financial indicators, the likelihood of an upward move is quite low. Thus, MARKET_SCORE: 20

3) PRICE_TARGET: With the current price at $0.181, and considering the company's performance trend, it's tough to foresee a significant price increase in the short term. Therefore, PRICE_TARGET: $0.20
