So let's look at the facts. More than a year has passed since that article was written and Jemsoft have not achieved anywhere near $20 million in revenue, otherwise Jemsoft would probably be worth more than Xped is currently, and this deal would have never been put on the table.
Instead Jemsoft have obviously experienced some major teething problems (i.e. versus their 2016 revenue projection) and this has resulted in an acquisition (by Xped) for @$900k. I would imagine that this business is operating at around 'break even', but without seeing the books we do not know their current outflows.
Thus based on the above comment in that article, it could be argued that Pinochio may have jumped into bed with his twin brother.
All in all, I view this deal as neutral at best, particularly given the cost to Xped - and lets face it Xped can ill afford to increase its costs/outflows at present - even if it's only $200k, it all adds up at the end of the quarter. I also see it as just another distraction to Xped's core business, just like JCT and Codium have proven to be.
