you are correct and I thank you for your input
making this a debate.
correct, management can always ruins it all.
now the big Q is: will this be the case here?
so far, they didn't do one acquisition in the past.
problem here is that they didn't communicate this w/ SH,
so we don't know whether this rejection was for SH's benefit.
Hence we have to accept that they are more silent,
so who likes a loud company - avoid!
Do they have a history of burning cash and ruining the balance sheet?
Doesn't look like, even though 2017/18 wasn't that bold.
We both would need to go more into the details, yes.
But as long they don't burn the NCAV upside or safety
at least there is no dilution risk.
BTW .. GURE is in similar pair of shoes.
I also didn't really write about a bet, more introducing numbers.
For this reason, well .. suits the purpose.
Neither I nor friends ever go all in anyways (o8>

6-K 6/30 ER notes: Slightly positive income. Cash over $20.2M + $11.4M trade receivables. Total liabilities only $6.7M.
OS seems to be 2.44M fully diluted (re 6-K).
Cash $20.2M - Total Liabilities $6.7M = $13.5M net-net-net -> $5.53/sh.
And of course, the Graham Net Net Asset Value (NCAV) is much higher +$5.7M: $19.2M or $7.87/sh!

+++
Revs 6 month 2019: $9.04M -> $18M annualized or $7.38/sh
$2.50 SP is at P/S 0.34 @ 2.44M OS fully diluted
But assuming their turnaround continues and hence fwd P/S is even lower.
P/E not yet applicable really, I guess.
P/S 1 is at $7.34/sh SP almost matching the NCAV Graham value of $7.87/sh.
A possibility, assuming growth is building up as planned.

They had a bad 2018 year, obviously.
Company lost $20M in equity over 2018.

Now they showed effort for the turnaround transition
at least over the last 2-3 quarter to my knowledge.
Last two quarters proved these efforts to be fruitful.

"As previously announced on September 20, 2018, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent to acquire 51% of Siteng, an e-commerce services company based in China. Pursuant to the letter of intent, the transaction was to close no later than June 30, 2019. The parties have mutually agreed not to proceed with the transaction and terminated the letter of intent, effective immediately."
Therefor, they haven't started the e-commerce sales.
Well, they should just do it themselves - can't be too hard, or is it?
