Private companies exist BECAUSE they make their owners money.
Public companies sometimes seem to exist (and trade stock), because they NEED money.
I'm sure this sounds simplistic but I can't think of any privately held company not in bankruptcy that isn't making money and for a company with 170 employess on the books they better be making a goodly amount. IMHO.
