Jeffrey,

This example shows that the 2/15/2004 bonds are trading at $366.80 for a par value $1,000 bond, giving a Yield to Maturity of over 50%. The coupon is 11.375%. Therefore, many believe that G* will not be able to service this debt, thus the high risk assigned to it. (YTM is 50% on a Coupon of 11.375%)

Credit rating is junk. You need to buy in 100 lots (100 bonds x ($1000 par value trading $366.80) = $36,680 Approx.

If G* is able to service these and pays the coupon, you will receive $100K on 2/15/2004 when you only paid $36K. Nice return and bond holders are in front of common holders (I know you knew that) but if G* is successful the common will easily be a 5-10 bagger IMO...

Hope that helps!
