Joe =========== I don't know how corporate stuff works, but I would think it is to cut out overhead and deadwood so on a quarterly report they show more profit. So not necessarily to raise cash, but to decrease debit. Ergo, please investors. Not all stockholders go for a quick cash profit, many like to invest in a well-respected company with long term gains. What Sparx looks for, I have no idea, but it may be the same thing. If they show better a better profit margin, then pressure to merge (by big investors especially) would decrease. Well, that's my best guess about what is going on anyway.
