.....as the boldfaced words pretty much overlap, I parsed "capital structure" for business context.
DEFINITION of 'Capital Structure'
A mix of a company's long-term debt, specific short-term debt, common equity and preferred equity. The capital structure is how a firm finances its overall operations and growth by using different sources of funds.
Debt comes in the form of bond issues or long-term notes payable, while equity is classified as common stock, preferred stock or retained earnings . Short-term debt such as working capital requirements is also considered to be part of the capital structure.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Capital Structure'
A company's proportion of short and long-term debt is considered when analyzing capital structure. When people refer to capital structure they are most likely referring to a firm's debt-to-equity ratio , which provides insight into how risky a company is. Usually a company more heavily financed by debt poses greater risk, as this firm is relatively highly levered.

......debt to equity ratio w/company's intent towards up listing sounds like we are on the cusp of. With Mr Lindberg coming on as a fulltime CFO, I look for things to start popping any time w/in the next 3,
months.
DK whether we'll have revenues/contract on the nx Q. If we don't, then I expect sp to erode. Should any decide to flip, be aware that sp will most likely surge on news and exercise due care.
Looking Forward
