Analysis · CDT · Life Sciences
CDT Equity's second-quarter report confirms the company is in a deepening cash crisis. Cash fell to $747,000 from $1.5 million at year-end, and the company missed three weekly payments on its J.J. Astor convertible note, triggering a restructuring that added a $378,000 premium and raised the default interest rate to 24%. A third amendment added another $200,000 advance and more warrants. The company also agreed to issue up to 12.1 million pre-funded warrants to buy more of Sarborg, a related party. With a going concern warning already in place, these developments show the company is relying on increasingly expensive and dilutive financing to stay afloat.
