RE:RE:Great News Debenture!!!I just read it and gave it some thought. You are actually incorrect. The simple story is as follows. KNR was raising $5.8 million. It offered this to the debenture holders whose loan was to expire mid-December. They will get the final interest payment on this old debenture agreement by mid-December and then they hold the new debenture for a couple of years comprising of a loan portion and stock portion. The stock portion is fixed and does not vary with the stock price. There is no link suggesting that they expect to land so much money by mid-December that they can retire the loan completely. This is normal working capital that is good to have as security until cashflow starts rolling in. It is a neutral NR the way I see it - neither great, nor bad.

First off, a convertible debenture is a type of long-term debt issued by a company that can be converted into shares of equity stock after a specified period. KNR basically told the debtors that, we're willing to increase the size of the loan and pay you a little later, instead of giving you shares right now. And the debtors accepted! What does that mean? Either the company expects to make a lot of money soon (orders), or expects their share price to rise substantially between now and December 15, meaning that they'll give less shares to redeem their debt than they would today. Even better, is the fact that the debtors agreed to this, which means they believe that's a plausible scenario. This is a great sign. Not sure if all retail investors will understand this, and whether it'll be reflected on the stock today, but if you're a long, you should be very happy with this decision
