News looks good to me, but I think we need news on net rise in income to really get us heading up substantially. Come on Ken P!!

A very stockholder friendly move. And if the next (1st complete post-dimd) merger results are out, the tax bill will be reduced by a lot more.

Realizing a gain of this magnitude before selling it is not smart unless you have losses to offset it. IE: why pay tax before you sell the assets? Answer : you don't. (pay).

However, this seems to indicate an immediate selloff of unprofitable divisions is not likely. The burnrate is still there. Maybe this is indicative of siii's transition into an incubator/VentureCap company. Based on recent track record, I'd say they are very good at this.

Don't they have carry forward tax losses from previous years? This should further reduce the tax bill
