Bob, re:TAVA. Thank you for your response and excellent explanation. In layman terms (ignoring fees & complications):

1) TAVA borrowed $4M in cash.
2) TAVA granted lender options with a "value" of $315K.
3) TAVA will pay back $3.685M in cash, PLUS
4) TAVA will pay 11.5% interest (in cash), PLUS
5) TAVA will write-off (as non-cash interest expense) the $315K.
6) TAVA's paid in capital should have increased $315K.

Is this correct (in simplistic terms)?
Best Regards, Bill
