all in all I feel that they got a good financing deal that enables them to rev up expansion plans and leave competition in the dust. I like the fact that it's only 18% share dilution (albeit at a 30% discount to current market price) plus:
no warrants, no placement agent fee (typically 6% of proceeds) or overallotment of shares, 14-month delay of investor's resale right. So that saves us shareholders lots of additional expenses.
On a trailing eps basis, looks like they paid 7.9x 2009 eps which is reasonable for an OTC stock, with no sweeteners.
I took a look at some recent PP with some other stocks to put things in perspective:
