According to Fortune, sales have fallen 17.2 percent, and American Apparel may not have enough cash to get through the next fiscal year.
In a regulatory filing the company emphasized, “We believe that we may not have sufficient liquidity necessary to sustain operations for the next twelve months. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt that we may be able to continue as a going concern.”
