Remember when I explained how companies with millions in profits don't sell themselves for a couple million dollars, so speculation of how much Crescent was making had to be off base?
Bingo! Net income for the prior two years to the acquisition was $220k. Cash flow was about $300k.
Interestingly, it appears IHSI's filings overstated Crescent's gross and net profit significantly. "Cresent financial year end, October 31, 2016, Cresent Construction recorded revenues of over $7.2 million, a gross profit of over $581,000 and a net income (profit) of $387,000. "
But the real problem is that in 2016, with no revenues, IHSI lost $500k from Ops. In 2015, with $250k in revenues, they lost $1.5 million from Ops.
