Geigartt:

I think Scantek accepted warrants because they want their customer to have a chance of succeeding before it runs out of cash. It's just a gamble for them.

It should at last another two quarters before HMSC runns out of cash -- working capital was $4.9 million at March 31, 1998, and cash burn from operations was about $2.1 M in the last quarter.

Paying debts with warrants is a pretty seedy thing to do, more typical of nearly-bankrupt bulletin-board stocks than it is of Nasdaq-listed stocks.

I have no position in the stock now, and I won't short it again unless the stock goes back up.
