Looks like without their main asset that they are selling off, the rest of the business does not really have any value and is just a cash drain....

That's certainly how the market appears to be valuing the rest of the business as "no value". Post deal with approximately $.19 per share, the fact that the SP is below this cash value suggests investors don't think the deal will go through, And at the Same Time think that the company will still sell GFI and lose their main income producing asset.

This next quarter probably be similar and they will lose another 1 million dollars from continuing operations and pretty much burn all the cash they have....

If the deal doesn't go through until January 4, then Q4 is still going to have revenue from GFI, therefore the company won't lose "another 1 million dollars". The purchase agreement says GFI has to continue as usual. Post deal, 1.5 million annually will come to the company which cuts down the annualized loss of continuing operations from 2,877,682 (4/3 * 9 months loss) down to 1,377,682.

Whether EUO is a buy or not I think can simply be summed up as an answer to this question: will SICPA, global leader in anti-counterfeiting and revenue recovery for governments, be able to sell this new technology to any of their more than 100 national customers? A technology that is proven to return multiples of its cost in lost tax revenue?

If you think yes, then even though "continuing operations" will run at a loss of ~1.3MM, you know that for every contract that signed, the revenue for continuing operations increases with the purchase of Xenemetrix X RF detectors. Also, with the 5% extra royalty, you can calculate that SICPA needs to earn 27,553,000 from new contracts in order for EUO to recover that last 1.3MM for "continuing operations" to be breakeven. This is pretty much exactly the size of the Philippines contract that is advertised right now. 1 contract.

If you think no, then that's fine and you would reasonably conclude that this is not a good deal for EUO, and that the company is not a buy.

EUO ... The cash burn you are referring to is due to increased R&D spending within the previously disclosed budgetary guidelines and expenses related to the SICPA transaction. I expect Q4 to show a similar burn rate. Operating expenses after the transaction closes are impossible to estimate based on currently available information. Income aside from the minimum SICPA royalty is equally impossible to predict but based on what I consider reasonable expectations, will be a multiple of the minimum guarantee which in turn will also significantly enhance Xenemetrix revenue.

For 15 cents or an EV of $15 Mil you get a pristine balance sheet, a boatload of cash, a sizable revenue stream, Xenemetrix’s proven, patented and expandable technology and you get well advanced XwinSys sort of thrown in for free.

Anyhow, you wanted to know if EUO is a buy at this level ... That’s not for me to say but it’s a package far superior to 99% of MC’s which is why EUO is right now my only (serious) MC investment.
