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.
If Jupiter was acquired for say $8mil that would put them at 1.5 to 2.5 million EBITDA. How well did people think they were doing?
