Why don't you call and ask and let us know. Borrowing money is part of running a business. It's better than selling shares to raise cash for expansion. There's nothing unusual about it.

Your question as to whether or not the "bridge loan" was paid or renewed is a good one and hopefully the answer will be forthcoming.

However, a bridge loan by definition is short term, and is meant to "bridge" a period, an event, a process. It's a generalized term. It may or may not be because of an operating issue. It may be a temporary cash issue. It may represent an anticipated investment or purchase that might be funded by collected receivables or a term loan. In other words, asking why a bridge loan is necessary is kind of like asking why accounts payable are necessary.

It is a change and that is material. The company should give explanations and details and projections. Without better projections, it's hard to argue one way or another. But, implications created by the mere existence of a bridge loan are probably empty.

The interest rate seems pretty low for a pink sheet company so it would be nice to know if this type of "bridge loan" is available if needed going forward.
