They acquired 2 companies in the last 2 years. Amazys and Pantone. I don't think they have the know how to integrate this companies. THey seem to be panicking. They have fired just about everyone from Amazys to cut costs. So all the knowledge and expertise that made Amazys worth acquiring is now lost. They are also 400 million in debt. Their stock is about a third what it was 2 years ago. The banks will start to get nervous or already are nervous and will want to call in their loan. Then a competitor will come in and pick them up on the cheap. Their Market cap is only 155mil when it should be over 400.

Niche company in color management...growing by acquisition...Amazys acquisition worked out well...now looking to buy Pantone -- a market leader...the price they're paying seems a bit rich but I'll trust management knows what it's doing.

They borowed 195 million to buy Amazyz. They lost 28 million in their last quarter. They are making changes too quickly in order to cut costs and this will hurt them down the road.
