What to make of CTM acquisition?

Now that ZILA has completed the acquisition of CTM for 644,000 shares what do we make of this? Is this bullish for the future of ZILA? I don't know anything about CTM but I suspect one can safely assume these are astute business people. If they are willing to forego a future revenue stream (7.5% of OraTest revenues) for a bunch of ZILA stock they must think that the future value of that stock is greater than the royalty payments they were to receive.

On the other hand, they could turn around right now and sell the stock (unless there is a clause that keeps them from doing that) and walk away with 5 mill plus. I just don't know and I'm still scratching my head over this one. And, by the way, where did that 644,000 shares come from? Treasury stock? New stock? Anybody care to jump in and comment? Julio
