At that time, National Land Partners LLC, a real estate investment firm based in Philadelphia, and Dion Money Management, a registered investment adviser in Williamstown, Mass. said they were willing to pay between $52.25 to $55.75 a share for the company. Shares outstanding of about 7.3 million are roughly the same now as in 2004 and a deal at those prices would suggest a price of $380.4 million to $405.9 million.
Interesting, in 2004, the Atlantic Blue Group stood in the way of a sale.
While past bidder National Land Partners LLC may not be involved this time around, investors in the company may look at the price the offered as a benchmark.

John, How can an investor make any money on this idea? This company trades by appointment and has no meaningful market cap or trading volume. If you actually spend at least 100 hours on each investment idea like your profile says, could uou consider writing on public companies that PRO subscribers can consider participating in? I also noticed the volume was up on Monday and that you disclose you are a shareholder. Looking forward to your responses. Thank you Don
