How did you get the value of the remaining holdings as $17 ? UIHIA has a large debt component on its books. Its book value (excluding its investments) is -ve.

The market is clearly discounting its holdings a lot more than 40%. The problem with an investment like UIHIA is that it might take several years before it trades at its fair value. One thing is guaranteed - UPCOY will not be a takeover target. Any suitor will go for the parent rather than UPCOY.

BTW, check out LPGLY. This might turn out to be an interesting stock..
