below is a post from motley fool on the bond issue. 100 Mil is alot of money. at 6% interest a year, that $6 Mil. RAIN has 17.9 Mil shares. 6/17.9 is .34 EPS less a year. I would think this will have a major effect on next years earnings. I am guessing that the earnings estimates are going to be adjusted downward. Also the stock price will fall accordingly. Lets hope there is a good purpose for this money.

Hi Derek! Here's a repost from MF with a hot but unconfirmed rumor on the Notes: Subject: Convertibles Date: Fri, Dec 5, 1997 21:04 EST From: Superguy Message-id: The word I'm hearing from Mpls. is the coupon on the convertibles will be in the 4-4 1/2 % range with a conversion price 25% higher than the stock price at the time of the sale. (end repost) Like I say those figures are totally unconfirmed so take 'em lightly. But if RAIN's going to pay over 5% on a 25% conversion price I just might buy some of them puppies for myself. On first glance I'd say you get a lot of the upside of RAIN with a lot less of the risk. Great to hear from you again, Derek. Hope the family is doing well. Stay warm!! Regards, Dennis
