The best piece of financial journalism ever done IMO, to explain what is happening here- to the likes of BHRT and many other cash desperate, failing penny stocks, was done recently by the highly reputable financial news firm and TV outlet, Bloomberg.

They explain it all in great deal with this piece of investigative financial reporting here- it's specifically about the firm Magna, who BHRT did qty-2 deals with end of 2014, but IMO, it covers any convertible debt lender such as Asher, KBM Worldwide (believed to be Asher's "sister" company run by the same two brothers), Daniel James, Fourth Man, Vis Vires group etc all of whom BHRT has inked convertible debt financing deals with recently - and numerous other penny hedge firm lenders of last resort.

Just a stunning, revealing peak into the sorted world of "floorless" convertible debt deals (aka debt-for-shares deals with no bottom pricing, aka the "reset provision" built in to them), aka "Death spiral" financing as the SEC and other's call it (what BHRT is experiencing now for all intents and purposes IMO), desperation, floorless, convertible debt financing and how it "works" and how the lenders who create and structure these deals, now they "do what they do" - it even shows the actual "death spiral graphic" with an explanation about it, on the left column of the reporter's piece.

Just an excellent piece of financial reporting IMO, one of the best I've ever read or watched. Stunning in what it reveals of the sorted world of the OTC markets and companies that make use of toxic, convertible debt financing as their means of running their businesses.

More info about the same topic can be found all over the internet- here's just a few other samples, explaining essentially what the Bloomberg piece is discussing:

Here's just a few examples of some of the recent deals BHRT inked- from their most recent filed 10-K, PAGE F-34/35 (one can see the "toxic" language where the "reset" and floorless pricing is written in to the contract terms) and the steep share discount, classic "toxic" convertible debt deals:

"Subsequent financing
