I measure financial condition relative to both the balance sheet and the income statement.

My non-expert opinion....

Cash Burn Rate = (Cash / Operating Expenses + Debt Service) x 365

At a minimum, it should be equal to the greater of 90 days or 3 x your average cash conversion cycle days.

Generally speaking, anything less represents liquidity risk, and anything more represents capital planning issues.

Burn rate is definitely a relevant calculation for startups in the i curve. I was thinking about more developed companies in my response. Very good reply.
