RE:RE:RE:Financials... coming soonHow would you see a hostile takeover happening when management and insiders own more than half the shares? That doesn't seem possible in this situation.
The only possible scenario for a takeover would be a very hefty premium offered by a company that management would be inclined to work with.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: a takeover is not going to happen unless the goldilocks scenario happens:
1) A large premium that factors in cash flows and profits from several years down the road.
2) A company that can work with management and AUGMENT what they can do on their own. Since human capital is the biggest problem going forward, cash alone will not do the trick IMO. Finding the sweet spot for growth -- not too fast, not too slow -- will be key. And management commented recently that they are best suited to manage this themselves.
So ... please stop talking about hostile takeovers. This is fiction. It's not going to happen with such large inside ownership.

Best way to do that is to have an open shareholder meeting prepared to answer any questions about the company. I suspect that management would look favourably on expanding the shareholder base, if that would lead to a share price more accurately reflecting what they see as its true value/potential.
As it is, the company is most vulnerable to takeover bids by existing engineering companies who could pick up all its technical expertise and ongoing earnings potential at a very, very low price, cheap even at hefty premium they would have to pay. So a market price reflecting what management sees as fair value is essentially a bit of a defence against some kind of potentially hostile bid.
So management would see educated shareholders as a means of securing higher share price. Shows a fair amount of confidence as well.
Just a thought!
