Their rating is CCC current risk for default. They now have 12.8m cash on hand, and have apparently dipped under 10m at times, another bond threshold. They have not made money since 2006.
I still think the key is bond terms. If Conru will change his 243m bonds to equity, they might be able to crawl back out even now.
If they don't generate cash by June 2013 and get their debt restructured they will probably collapse.

Penthouse (FFN) over-leveraged to buy Various Inc. for now they are surviving, but even so the profits that should be going towards growth, employees, affiliates go strait to bondholders. It's a good example of how LBOs kill companies.
Andrew Cornu created Various Inc it's his baby, I hope he manages to strike a deal.
