The other thing that is worthy to note is that the debt was not paid but rather the debt holder converted it to shares... clearly they have reason to belive that the stock will out perform thier debt interest payments over the long term. They must also be confident in the companies ability to remain as a going concern, other wise they would have remaind as debt holders which would offer them more protection than if being a share holder.
This news is strong on many levels... lets not forget, we are also cashed up forward product research and development!!
