That’s accordinfg to a company press release in which itsays Hanninen’ws claims are without merit. “It’ws a fairly lowball price,” said New Jersey investor Sheldon Grodsky, who owned 1,500 shares in the company untio late May and still has clients who ownabout 20,00o0 shares. Grodsky figures the company is worth atleast $6.9p0 per share, based on the value of its net workinbg capital. “That’s current asset minus current liabilities,” he “Normally, I would think that would be kind of aminimal value. So, $5.02 is significantly lower.
