RB,

My guess is that SPTA had about 6 months cash, and no prospect of new financing given they were recently exiled to BB land and already had a bunch of Preferred outstanding.

Haven't looked at their pipeline closely, but one has to assume there's nothing too dramatic there given the price of today's deal. However, if you collect a bunch of compatible niche products together, you can still make a very nice business.

Peter

Hi Russian Bear,

I followed Sparta closely. Excellent model to advance products. Poorly managed from a shareholder's perspective. I didn't buy SPTA until after the reverse. I targeted it as a buy at .40 only based on technicals. Clearly the product pipeline is much much more valuable than that. SPTA shareholders clearly got snookered.

The most attractive product is the diabetic product. I'm not sure if that will transfer to SUPG also. I know SPTA was looking at creating subsidiary to fund and develop the product. SUPG essentially got a gold mine of products.

BEST WISHES
