There books were in order, now they have a stronger balance sheet. Was is it needed to raise some capital for the short term that is something that management knows. The only thing is that the insiders, management et al should have bought some shares on the open market in my opinion. That would have shown a better level of confidence to the general market & the shareholders, been here for awhile & never have I seen the insiders et al buy on the open market. By doing it that way the long loyal shareholders which I'm in that group might interpret that the insiders et al wanted to buy but at their price, this is my opinion.

Will the market interpret that as a vote of confidence remains to be seen?

There are only two logical explanations that I see, the insiders money will go into the coffers & they must know that something is coming up in the not to distant future.

Dilution can be hard on the short term for shareholders but not having money to operate will be a business killer!

Was it needed since it's to increase their working, last quarter they had 775k cash & 2.6 millions in working capital?
