I have my doubts. It's possible of course, anything is, but it's difficult to buy a public company. It's usually done when a company can provide value additional to the company without being bought, as assessed by the market. If, for example, MSC bought us, it would probably do so to keep MSAR for itself. Which would be less profitable for Quadrise than leaving it independent. Quadrise does, or will, occupy such a central link between many various industries and geographies, upstream and downstream, it's hard to think of a single company that could extract more value from it than leaving it independent. Even MSC needed Cargill for the trial (or Cargill needed MSC or whatever). Once Quadrise gets a commercial contract or two under its belt and has a commensurate price rise, it'll be an uphill battle to acquire. Never impossible of course, but very tricky.
