Q&A highlights
Q: Will we need to do any more convertible debt before too long?
A: We have no plan to do a convertible debt at this stage. If we can get through Q4 at EBITDA neutral, we believe we have enough business in the hopper to get back to profitable operating levels.
Q: So we think we got enough cash with what we're looking at going forward that we aren't going to need to raise any more cash. Is that right?
A: That's correct.
