46% of all revenue comes from a single line: Advertising.

The biggest line carries real weight, but it doesn’t decide everything on its own.

Revenue last year:
$39.7M
The net profit left over:
$50.5M
Last year the company reported more profit than sales — a one-off gain, not the operating business.
THE SLICE THAT TURNS INTO PROFIT: 127%

This is an established company with proven profits.

THE SALES TREND
Sales have been shrinking.

An average decline of 36% a year over the last 4 years — the most striking risk in this picture.

The cash outweighs the debt.

If every debt were paid off today, $27.6M would still be left in the vault — a solid cushion for hard times.

THE PRICE TAG
MARKET VALUE / ANNUAL PROFIT
0.4×

The market pays 0.4× for every dollar of annual profit — cheap, which is either an opportunity or a warning.

No analyst target is on record for this company.

What executives did with their own stock over the last 12 months:
36 buy 46 sell

Executive selling isn’t always bad news; people sell for personal reasons too. Still, the thin buying side is worth noting.

THE FIVE-YEAR JOURNEY
A big climb, then a hard fall.

An investor who bought at the very peak is down 72% today. The business is the same; what changed most is the price — and the expectations — the market pins on it.

THE BRIGHT SIDE · 1/1
Strong cash, light debt

There is $93.0M in the vault; even if every debt were paid off, $27.6M would remain.

THE RISKS · 1/1
Sales are shrinking

Over the last 4 years, sales fell about 36% a year on average. Profit is holding up, but a shrinking business is a risk worth watching.
