This is liquidity problem and its due to mismanagement of working capital.....

current asset increase while current liability decreased but paid with cash

Thanks for invitation,

In my opinion, when the working capital of any organization is less than the working capital requirements, this means that this organization has a "liquidity problem", which is clearly reflected on the negative cash balance.

That's due to: the decrease of current liabilities meet the increasment of current assets

 working capital  is

current assets minus the current liabilities

 that means  the  decrease  of the current liabilities  meets  increment of the current assets
