Well, you still need to take its debt into account as well, which I'm assuming Imeem has quite a bit if it sold for so low with 16 million users. A company with $10M in debt, for instance, that's purchased for $2, is really a $12M acquisition.

It was an asset purchase, not an acquisition, so the debt stayed behind.
Ouch. That really sucks, because without assets there's no way to pay off that debt. Unless of course they can just file for Chapter 11? I don't know much about finance, but if they can, that would be really, really cheap!
