11.Comments.
(1)Since Greg Tunney join the company at 2006. It has been doing very good. Including the 2 acquisitions in 2011 turns out pretty good. He seems quite talented on integrate and acquiring business. The past 6 years is the most profitable years for DFZ's history. He indicated that he is stilling looking to acquire an $20-$30m business with patient. He is target to make a $200-$250m sales in next 2 to 3 years.

(2) For the past 5 years, average FCF-WC is about $12m.  That gives a base price $12/11.3*15=$15.93.

(3) Quality wise, since both revenue and income is growing pretty well. Would give it a 9 in quality score.

(4) Although Greg Tunney as the CEO is very satisfying. He also auto sell his stock after exercise options. That is kind of disappointing. Don't know why.

(5) The current price still a little high as not provided enough margin.


Update:
May 2014
The company was acquired by Mill Road at $19/share.
