"Bankruptcy is the only other option in the absence of dilution."
This is of course sheer nonsense. A company that has net assets of about 300 million dollars and has next to no debt and has a better profit margin that 95 % of conpanies is not on the verge of bankruptcy. Some companies with no income and negative net wort of millions of dollars even so manage to avoid going bankrupt for years.
We are carrying a portfolio of assets outside of our core competency and we should try to sell those. Not sure how many buyers will give us a fair valuation for those assets. Worth a try. Try to get funding and scale back securing equity for an aggressive buy back. Forget a divvy for now and get the share count under 100 mil. Dilution till funding is secure is a necessary evil and hope that is sufficient.
Well stated! Just imagine future EPS and divvies from the MF in future years at under 100M shares.
