"The company does have time to fend off a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing," Kline wrote, "but it also has limited, if any, prospects to meet its impending cash needs." The company has just $117.3 million in cash or equivalents, and debts of $1.2 billion.

The company announced layoffs and other cost-cutting measures, along with expanded distribution of the products that people are less interested in buying.

And keep in mind that those figures aren't a ribeye-to-ribeye comparison. Fake meat typically costs about twice as much per ounce as the real thing—although perhaps not this year, during a painful beef shortage—so we aren't talking about similar units of stuff.
