Glen, it seems to me that there is too much leverage in this company. Companies tend to be using less debt these days than in times past (with the notable exception of the oil service sector). Obviously, debt increases the risk to shareholders. But, if the company can turn the chain around, it will pay off big-time. I felt that the risks were too great given the fact that the debenture is convertible. In essence, this means that if CKR pulls the deal off successfully (i.e., turns the restaurants around) the bond-holders will have become shareholders at a favorable conversion rate, and we will have been diluted.

On the plus side, CKR has an exemplary record in turning operations around.

Good luck,

Paul
