Liquidity | NOTE 3—LIQUIDITY The Company believes that it will have sufficient liquidity to finance its activities and the activities of GridSense and OmniMetrix over at least the next 12 months based upon its current cash balance and the support expected to be provided by DSIT. If the support expected to be provided by DSIT (up to $5,000 in 2015) is not available in sufficient amounts, Acorn may not be able to fund its own corporate activities and Acorn may not be able to fund GridSense and OmniMetrix as it has historically which could materially impact the carrying value of these subsidiaries and their ability to continue operations.
