That same story about financing appeared in the Globe and Mail over the weekend. I can't wait to see what they come up with as far as financing goes. The writedown was $53 and $15 million of that is a cash charge. They are already broke and this will not help. It doesn't seem likely that they will be able to raise money through equity financing unless it involves big dilution. Additional debt will further erode the capital structure.

I think the worse case scenario is the aforementioned management led financing. You can bet that this sort of financing, whether it's a bought deal or some sort of rights offering, will be bad for the average shareholder. The company's options are limited and this gives me cause for concern. We all know about this company's checkered past in dealing fairly with shareholders.

My enthusiasm has been tempered somewhat but I will wait to see what they announce on the 8th.

Good luck.
