    I am just going to provide some observable facts within the current SaaS market.


    Here is EV/Foward Revenue multiples on publicly traded SaaS companies (separated into quarterly 'buckets' depending on how fast they are growing)

    As you can see, we have seen a contraction in majority of 'fast growth' SaaS companies over the past few months. Majority of companies demand a EV/Forward Revenue multiple of between 3.2 - 4.7 depending on how fast they are growing.

    1PG currently has an EV on latest quarterly of $21.3M. Using simple arithmetic we can see that this means in order for value to be present based on the current SaaS market valuations 1PG must be looking at between $4.53M - $6.66M forward revenue.

    You can see why the market is punishing its valuations based on analysis like this.

    I am all for optimism and I really enjoy it when I see shareholders get excited at company success, but there is no point dismissing observable facts.

    Unless:
    (a). SaaS valuations broadly turn around (indicating we enter a SaaS buyers market); or
    (b). 1PG management are able to steer the company into the $4.53M - $6.66M forward revenue range; then I expect more shareholder pain.

    Entering a speculative investment because it trades near cash is a fallacy if management have been eroding shareholder value through frivolous cash management.

    Good luck guys
