Unilens Vision - Jurgis, I see that the company issued $6.5m in a facility from Regions bank with a variable interest rate.

? Do you know why they bought out their largest shareholder Uniivest Holding AG?

I am very curious what else you see in the company.

The shareholder right now is getting a 8% return on FCF (including the large royalties), given the EV value of about $15m with the new debt issuance. I normalized the FCF for the year using the past qtr figures with new interest expense, I arrive at about $1.2m. ($1.2m/15m = 8%)
I like to see a FCF return of at least 15%, preferably 20%.

Unilens' core lens business is also loss making due to higher competition and a slower economy.

They also pay out most of net income via a dividend, exposing the shareholder to higher taxes (doesn't matter since they can't invest it at higher return given the state of the core business).

....am I missing something special??
