Q3 2013 Balance Sheet:

Total Current Assets: $243.7m - adjusted for Graham's NCAV = $200.3m (drs @75%, stock @ 50%, ignore prepayments and other current assets)

Total liabilities: $47.4m - for NCAV model = no change at $47.4m

Equity: $265m - NCAV value of equity = $152.9m ($200m - $47.4m)

Market cap of $106m/NCAV of $152.9/ = 69.5%, or approx. 2/3 of NCAV.

I don't look at per-share values, as these are so open to manipulation; a business is best valued in its entirety, rather than on per share basis due to buy-backs.

Can I ask what prompted you to acquire shares?
