The whole co is not for sale and if so we might argue along some similar but less exagerrated lines multiples of large biz from years ago. I guess if you find the dramatically too low, you might offer to buy out Faith and Joel , using your formulas. with a premium for control. Jeffrey is set to join the call and has authority to make the decision to accept or reject.

I do not know what cash was on the balance sheet when you bought it. The open gate transaction to summarize was a stepping into your shoes for only 6 million or roughly the same as the current offer. taking out cash 14 of the 15 mil which has not come out. and even on your calculation of 8 cash would mean 3.2 to you back then... and then leveraging the biz. / the liability to the buyer was no where near that to golden gate. sorry. . . We can go back and forth on comps and can show mom and pop at 1 to 3 times ebitda.. so lets try to short circuit a tiresome uncessary excercise, as i see it the current bid offer is 5 bid and approx 9 .2 offer. open gates 6 + 3.2 from 2 years ago with more growth potential and lower cash out. multiples from before digital photos and amazon. sorry I am suprised that you would inflate current Ebitda, pull multiples from many years ago to biz that are tangential. l
