Business has been machining, fabricating sheet metal and assembling products for the motion picture industry since 1916. Most of the products formerly made by this company have been replaced with digital technology and computers. The niche industry that remains is not able to earn the company the profits it needs to stay at its current staffing and shop equipment levels. Current Owners can't justify the continued investment in this industry. After several loosing years the owner's have decided to sell the business to someone or a company that can use its existing structure and facilities to continue in this industry, start a new business or expand a present use. Revenues were over $2,000,000 in 2005 & 2006 yet cash flows over this period were negative. The company has not downsized and gross profit and general expenses have remained at previous levels despite the change in business and lower volume. The sub-contracting work hasn't been priced to reflect the realities of the market adding to the losses over these years. Management admits it doesn't have a vision for the future but realizes it has great facilities, a modern shop,useful equipment and a talented labor force and someone or a firm might be able to benefit from this collection of assets hence selling vs. just going out of business (e.g. the cost of the assets in this business is over $1,200,000).
