What they bought was forward looking revenues, i.e. a multiple of what Slim expected to earn next year, probably with a 4-5 multiplier in there. There is an earn-out on the deal too, so it's in everyone's interest to make that number, one way or another. What's in the past means nothing to LogiTech from a financial point of view, they can only benefit from future sales. -- CardinalFang ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CardinalFang's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=962 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28873 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
