Brian, I agree with you 100%; however, I suspect many of these structures are for personal tax considerations. Just a way of life these days and a technique to avoid paying 40% plus in state and federal income taxes, then to be stuck with a huge loss carryover, deductible at $3k per year. Furthermore, AMAT does not have to go out of pocket with cash at this time, which is the only positive, imo.

PR could certainly be handled better.
