Based on the numbers in the PR and what the CEO of Flotec stated in 2007 about doubling revenue in 2008 and again in 2009 that will project to approximately $3M in net income for the remaining 3 quarters this year and over $9M in net income in 2009. That of course is if they meet the CEOs expectations (he projected $10.5 in May of 2007 for the year 2007 and they ended up with over $13M) and margins are similar to the past 12 months. I think margins could possibly improve since the totally relocated their facility in 2007 and added a lot of new equipment, people (more than doubled the workforce to 80), and procedures (MEP) to the mix. But then again you stated you do not have a position so you need not worry. I know I am not.

They might not be able to afford the finance charges but seeing they're going to net 13-15 million profit for 08, that risk is small unless the subsea market dries up later this year. The 15.5% interst rate on the Mako debt can be brought down I believe to 12.5% if no warrants are involved. On the new debt we'll know in a few weeks how it is packaged but I trust manageement to find the best deal out there for the company and close the deal.

It's pure speculation and conjecture when you say they "might not" be able to even cover the finance charges.

IMO, Deep Down would not have pursed FT nor would FT have entered into an agreement if the financing did not make sense. Think about that, pard.
