Share offers are dilution and not seen as positive, so yes there would probably be more shorters and a weakening pps. But this is only a prospect in fantasy not fact.
But on the positive side, a strong cash balance of $45.2 million at September 30, 2012 was reported with a cash burn of $2.6 million, compared to $7.4 million a year ago.
Even if the cash burn was $5M/qrt., there would be, after this quarter, another 8 quarters with cash or 2years before that cash was depleted.
However, there were also strong collections of $34 million in cash in 2Q, and Revenues in 2012, were up 24% Y/Y. There is also 5 years of consecutive Y/Y quarterly revenue growth.
If breakeven and profitability are truely near in 2013, CPST should, hopefully, be able to stop the share dilution.
