Hi WebDrone: MRVC's 10K states that the company takes a straight-line write-off over 8 years for it's goodwill. I believe that both restructuring charges and charges for in-process technology are subtracted from income immediately and continue each reporting period until the total amount is written off (capital loss carry-forwards). Recognizing that you didn't bring this idea up, one of the worst things management could do to "enhance" shareholder value would be to have another secondary. The stock is selling at a huge discount to it's peer group. At the current price, dilution would be onerous and I would be the first to accuse management of breaching it's fiduciary responsibilities. And, these guys ain't that stupid. When you have a secondary, you should be near your highs, not when scraping bottom. If you dilute, you only do it when the price is dear. CF Rebel
