let me translate this for you: Their outstanding debt is almost twice their gross income, and almost 3 times their gross profit. Net loss of 49.4 million means that (IMHO) they would need to grow their business to be almost twice it's current size to have a hope of retiring the debt. At the current business levels, they will likely have to keep paying those 14% notes for a long time into the future. It seems pretty doubtful that this company can ever make a bottom line profit on in it's current financial situation.
