While the restructing gets the company a better ability to 'survive' it does not really set it up to 'prosper'. The dilution is massive, of course, and the company still needs to deal with declining sales (down 20% last quarter). The restructuring does not help sales, of course. Cash flow has been highly negative. Lower interest rates will help this, but it will still not have much financial capacity. The company is also quite tiny now and this limits investor appetite. Could it turn around? Sure, the possibility is there. But it could also continue to swirl down the drain. We would not want to get involved here.
