The tough credit environment is catching up to the firm.
LVLT has $700 million in debt due over the next several quarters. In all odds that money can't be refinanced.
“As the operations continue to deteriorate, there’s a slimmer and slimmer chance that the credit markets are going to give them a chance to refinance,” Stanford Group Co.’s Michael Nelson said, according to (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=aIggI1hkembU&refer=home) Bloomberg.
LVLT is trading at $1, but without positive news about its balance sheet, the company is likely to watch that share price drop as the year wears on.
