Despite having more cash than total debt and short-term assets exceeding liabilities, Wanka Online's operating cash flow is negative, indicating potential challenges in covering debt through operations alone. A recent follow-on equity offering raised HK$53.1 million, potentially diluting shareholder value slightly despite no significant dilution last year.
