Either the earn-out is triggered and they're loaded and want to enjoy their loot, or they fail and don't want to hang around. Probably other reasons too, that's just what I've seen. From buyer's standpoint, it is hard to operate something and make changes when the former owner(s) are present. Keep them for a transition, and then take over. This contingent payment period is unusually long. Oftentimes it's shorter, it's about how long new owners and former owners can stand each other.
I'll bet a line will be forming at the door about 12 months from now.

I have no idea, NONE, about the financial performance of this business, and I haven't spoken to anyone who does, so I'm just talking in general. Product lines are kept if they provide future opportunities, adequate current returns and can operate with reasonable levels of management attention. Otherwise, the plug gets pulled. Look at other consumer electronic product companies with diverse product offerings - unpopular products don't stay around long. No company "needs" a poorly performing product. If the plug gets pulled - yeah, the products will still be around, and people would be free to continue their hobby. Heck, I saw a handful of DeLoreans out on the freeway a few weeks ago. -- Goodsounds ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56164 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
