Revenues are about $300 million a year, with 58% gross margins.

Ramius LLC filed a 13D on March 15th disclosing over 5% ownership. Ramius usually stirs things up a bit (like the share price). Good valuation, lots of cash, not losing much money and a catalyst in Ramius. Seems like a cheap stock to us.

There are about 90 million fully diluted shares outstanding.
