A lot is made out of cash in the bank. I read thin

A lot is made out of cash in the bank. I read things that paying the debt and managing capital expenses as huge. But what is the bottom line after doing so? Simple evaluation of financials says, where's the profit? What's left for for buy back or uplisting? If they don't show a large bleed rate, that would make me happy. But I wouldn't expect obscene profits, just yet.
