<<I am still wondering if the interest on the debentures $560,000 per year is going to really hurt there EPS over the next couple of years???>>
It's a tough call; intuitively, it depends how fast they will be able to increase sales in order to use their new capacity. As their gross margin is roughly 50%, and if we take the 3rd qtr gross margin level as as a base, the annualized gross margin (product revenue - cost of product) would be about $4.3 million. It would take about a 13% sales increase to pay for the interest in the first year. I would think that should not be too difficult to reach.
I am welcoming any challenge to the above "back of the envelope" speculation. Cheers.
