Spot on I reckon here mate. If we're looking at sustainable positive cashflow, I think we are still a few quarters away unless an enormous deal is landed. New office(s), new products, and new venture(s) likely to gather momentum in the new year, so it's only reasonable to expect costs to increase and January likely to be a slower month (seasonal issue: "the month of January is traditionally a period of lower sales volume with many clients running smaller staffing levels and less procurement taking place")

Like you imply, I don't think the true measure of this one should be based on reaching positive cashflow status. They could easily achieve that if they put aside all the growth aspirations and let the existing business grow naturally while tightening the purse strings...but would any of us really want that? Nope, full steam ahead! Lots to look forward to as the business invests in itself.
