    Initial thoughts are the offer is too low, but this could just me anchoring to my higher cost. Still deciding on whether to reduce exposure or hold although highly likely that price will fall should they reject this offer.

    High level analysis of just the 4Cs show that margins seemed to have improved in 1Q24 (although note that what they putting into product manufacturing costs differs to what they putting in their accounts for cost of services plus cashflow timing issues), and even looking at their accounts, it looks like transactional revenue margins have improved slightly (but IMO their platform/software revenue share is too small).

    Anyway, if we say they can maintain ~13.5m in quarterly revenues with ~65% margin gives you a gross profit of ~9m and their costs are roughly the same (staff costs are ~6m, advertising ~1m, other ~2m).

    If they manage their costs, they could be breakeven and then they need to push the revenue lever.......and if they can do 3-5m in EBITDA per annum then easily justify a $50m MC

    On the other hand, the bidder could quickly take out half the costs and be generating 3-4m per quarter in FCF so this is worth a lot more.....IMO around 100m

    So long way of saying I'm sitting on my hands and waiting for 75c (although would be happy with 60-65c at this stage)
