In this PR the company says they'll at least get revenues of $1 Million this year for managing government real estate. Unfortunately $1 Million won't go far and is about what it will cost to finalize the closing of those two unprofitable divisions. IMO, if the Amata deal doesn't go through the company is going to have a tough time staying afloat.
