Now we are in my home ground company valuations:- You purchase a company based on multiples of sales turnover. For companies with a defensible business model, customers, products etc you can do 3,4,5 multiples of turnover. Symphony is not, at most it should be 1.5 to 2 times multiples of sales. Symphony turnover is no where near KES 3-4 Billion KES, which explains why KDN walked away from the negotiating table. My two cents Kiania D.

Thanks Jared,
6 Billion is quite some amount, if it includes the properties on Waiyaki way then the valuation is valid but if it's servers boxes and employees? Doubt it.
its not just real-estate, servers and boxes -- they also have some intellectual property in terms of a hospital / healthcare management system (which they had themselves acquired via a buyout) , other things like the training division and some long term service contracts for mainframes and such ...
