5i Research Answer:
A buyout/merger is always possible, but with the small size of the company, its debt and losses, and negative cash flow, likely make it unattractive. It is too small for any major industry player. Its revenue base is decent, but it needs to fix its cash flow problem. The restructuring will save $1.75M annually, which is a good start, but a smaller company may make it harder to grow. Simply being public costs in the range of $300,000 annually. We do not recommend companies with just a market cap of $8.7M and would be very cautious with this one.
