Newbies there is no guess or speculation about why the pps is a diluted .32 and unstable
To get an inside look at TRTC’s reckless dalliance with convertible notes, go no further than its quarterly reports. Its 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, notes that “during the six months ended June 30, 2017, senior secured convertible promissory notes and accrued interest in the amount of $8,839,084 were converted into 50,710,473 shares of common stock.”
How bad is the impact of TRTC’s convertible note addiction on common shareholders? The table below, which illustrates the rate at which outstanding shares have increased over the past five years, answers this question.
Year TRTC shares outstanding
2012 76.89 million
2013 99.04 million
2014 174.3 million
2015 240.19 million
2016 389.36 million
As of December 11th 2017 903.17 million
Shares outstanding nearing authorized shares of 990 million
In five years, TRTC’s shares outstanding have increased more than tenfold and are now inching dangerously close to its authorized shares of 990 million. This means that going forward there is very limited room for TRTC’s debt holders to convert their debt into new shares. This heightens the prospect that TRTC may default on its debt. In case this happens, shareholders will be first to lose as debt owners will foreclose on the assets. This is the benefit of being a debt holder as opposed to being a shareholder. Debt holders usually have the first claim on a company’s assets in the event of foreclosure.
