John,

You're breakdown never really answered this question: why did they wait so long to do the convertible? The 10Q made in clear that the end of June was when there was serious doubt about remaining a "going concern".

Was it poor management or the fact that they simply lost all bargaining position at so late a date?

John, my guess is that the company really thought they would pull it out of the fire with a killer product and the product fizzled. I usually take a quick one day short profit in these situations, but this time I held the position because I believe there is more bad news to come.
