Run-rate EBITDA before "non-recurring" or "start-up" expenses is about $13mm based on Q3. Given a $4 stock price this suggests an Enterprise value to EBITDA of about 5x. This is attractive for a growth story only if they can hold the ship together long enough to pay down a bit of debt and ease their liquidity problems. A very big if -- so big that you have to wonder if all the blockier trades today (generally up-ticks) must know more than we do. Maybe there is something to the M&A discussions after all.
