We appreciate the confidence of our board. Our intention is that our willingness to convert these obligations at this premium, further contingent on profitability, sends a strong signal to our shareholders. Our credit facility is back in place supporting production and shipping of goods. We will continue to take steps like this to move the company to a stronger financial position."
