On the stock market since 2011, it operates in the world of technology. It has 590 employees. Now — the numbers.

Sales run at $63.5M a year. A small number, but proof the product has real buyers.
There is $31.6M in the vault; even if every debt were paid off, $30.4M would remain.
A loss of $2.1M against $63.5M in annual sales.
Over the last 12 months, executives reported 18 sells against just 5 buys. Not an alarm bell by itself, but a number worth watching.
