Go, thanks for the updated information. $100 MM in the bank is surely a good thing. The question is what is there "breakeven", I was counting on sales in the $22 or per quarter, at $16 MM, unless they have taken Draconian steps to cut R&D, and SGA, will cause quarterly bleeding of probably $25 MM or so. Does anyone have visibility of when they move into the black and generate cash? Printing stock (and diluting current holders , so far by 30%) is a stop gap, growth of the top and bottom line is what counts, and I do not think that $16 MM quarterly is going to get them to a cash generating position by a long shot. It will still be a very dim comparison to last years results. This stock, even if we assume sales rate of $20 MM (much more that the forecast you cite) is still valued at six times those rosy sales forecast, quite rich if we are going into a bear market in the next three to four months, IMHO. Mind you, their management has done a good job of getting this additional financing (I have not seen the detail and potential strings attached), because financing opportunities are going to become rarer as we move forward, IMTO.
