Fair enough and that's why the price is where it is. But the company fundamentals are still intact, the problems NMS is facing are out of their control. The AUD is currently way above its long term average and like everything it's only a matter of time before it returns down to its trend. On the margins side that too will start to see improvement next year. Meanwhile NMS is cashed up and on the lookout for more acquisitions which will get it into a position of strength so it can capitalize when conditions change.
