I am not saying the $$ is low. I am saying that it seems that jupiter wasn't making as much money as on a yearly basis as everyone thought. Typically hosting company buyouts are based on a multiple of gross revenue or in this case a multiple of EBITDA. The total number of 15mil sheds light on the fact that one of these company Jupiter or Alabanza wasn't making nearly as much as anyone thought. And I honestly doubt Navisite will waste time and money doing a 2 to 3mil transaction so I would lean more towards an almost even split of 7.5 and 7.5mil each which sounds more realistic. But then again this is all speculation.
