“Valuation methodology and risks. We utilize a discounted cash flow-based approach, which generates a total value of roughly $120M, net of debt; this yields a price per share of $3.00, projecting 39M shares as of mid-2019, including the issuance of shares and warrants associated with the most recent equity financing and further dilution over the course of the next 12 months, including the full conversion at $0.80 per share of $2.6M, which was raised in July 2018 via issuance of a convertible note to a single institutional investor—to bridge the gap to sustainable profitability.”
