The story I hear (and I cannot confirm or deny) is that they presented 18-month data and the Board wanted 24 month data. Let's pretend this is fact. It opens a few cans of worms.

1) Was the requirement for 24 month data a complete surprise? An FDA application is not "closed book". There is a continual dialog between company and reviewers. So SNRS staff must have had some sort of reassurance that the FDA considered SNRS data to be complete and satisfactory. And then we have the PMA ambush.
1a) Is this a fair interpretation?
1b) Who knew about this ahead of time? There was some foreknowledge, cuz the shorts closed in on this in the last month. Shorts might be a lot of things, but dumb isn't one.
2) Was somebody at the company simply Not Listening? The nicest thing I can say about corporate leadership is that they are proven politically naive. This is bad imo - it ruins our previous conception of them as Stright Shooters. The stock price well below $4 now seems to corroborate this.
3) The company needs to present a clear, credible plan for its next 12 months of operations. How dilutive will the next round of financing be? Could it be that SNRS will die a Floorless Death?
4) Is there a White Knight? If SNRS technology is good after all, we may be watching a ploy to snap the co uo cheap. Unless SNRS can convince the once-bitten investor that they have a Plan, one that will pass Real World 101 this time - they should undo their poison pill and let themselves be bought.

I, Investor, call on SNRS management to speak on these issues. Your survival hinges on it.

So one of my Qs is answered. Cash is available to continue normal ops and clinical studies for at least a year. One down, two to go ... :-)
