Cash on hand is of EXTREME importance to anyone who works for SHLD. Cash on hand is how much money is physically in the bank (or physically stored somewhere) that SHLD has access to and can write checks and so forth for vendors or employees. When the amount of cash on hand drops below the daily cost of operation to actually open the stores one of these days then that will be the end. SHLD can't pay vendors for merchandise, SHLD can't pay for supplies, SHLD can't cover rent, SHLD can't pay for electricity, SHLD can't pay for water service, AND most importantly SHLD can't cover payroll for employees when cash on hand reaches that point.
If there IS $220 mil left and SHLD loses roughly $4 million per day on average then basically the money will be gone in 55 days, so less than two months. Only selling assets or Eddie extending another loan will make that 55 day number increase.
