Havealot - yes I think you are a bit short on research!!
Your post is wrong on several counts. Firstly You are correct they are still well short in meeting current capacity. However, once orders ramp up from multiple sectors plus new products range on stream selling to other coatings companies (!) capacity will be hit sooner than you think.
Your figure of £10m revenue to hit profit is way off the mark. The company have already stated they hit profit at between £7m and £8m.
Also, aerospace applications have completed trials and they are now starting to take orders for a growing number of parts.
There is a very substantial HCP market out there which will now legally have to use new technology to replace it and Hardide are perfectly placed to meet this need.
The future is very bright with a new proactive commercially focused board and a new CEO to be appointed. In the meantime the interim CEO is doing a good job.
Lastly a takeover here is nailed on imho at a price substantially north of this ridiculous valuation.
Win/win
