Yes - and I keep looking at this :
Strategic and operational highlights during the second quarter of 2023 include:
On July 26, 2023, the Company announced that Muscle Maker, Inc. had taken a significant step in its journey by changing the Company's name to Sadot Group Inc. This name change recognizes the Company's evolution of our core business and aligns with our strategic vision.
Sadot Group amended its Services Agreement with Aggia LLC FZ (Aggia) which is reflected in our second quarter earnings. The new amendment modifies the formula by which Sadot Group would issue shares of common stock earned by Aggia for net income generated through our Agri-Foods unit from 80% of net income to 40% of net income on an accounting basis. As a result, the quarterly non-cash expense related to stock issuances to Aggia was reduced by 50%. Following the amendment, all shares to be earned by Aggia under the agreement have been issued and will retain voting rights, vesting over time using the 40% of net income formula.
On June 26, 2023, Sadot Group Inc. was added to the Russell Microcap Index, further solidifying our position in the market.
Sadot Agri-Foods Operations
Completed 21 transactions in Q2 with the average revenue per transaction of $7.5 million.
Average COGS per transaction of $7.3 million.
These 21 transactions were completed throughout 10 different countries.
Entered into a strategic service agreement with Buenaventura Trading LLC thereby expanding our commodity trade routes into the Americas.
Food Service Operations unit
47 units across two fast casual concepts?, with 32 units being the flagship PokΓ©moto brand.
58 PokΓ©moto franchise agreements sold but not yet open.
Shifting to a franchise, royalty-generating model focused on our PokΓ©moto concept.
Restructuring of restaurant subsidiaries, reducing restaurant operating expense and overhead as well as working capital demands by closing underperforming units while refranchising (or selling) most of our remaining company-owned units.
Seeking strategic alternatives for our Superfit Foods concept.
Operating Results
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company reported consolidated revenue of $160 million, an increase of $157 million or over 5,000% from the comparative period in 2022. The Company's net income for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was $190k compared to an approximate $1.8 million loss from the comparative period in 2022. The increase from the second quarter of the prior year can be attributed to the formation of the Sadot Agri-Foods unit. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had a cash balance of $5.1 million and a working capital surplus of $7.7 million. The cash decrease in the second quarter of 2023, was due primarily to cash used in operations of $4.2 million. In addition, the company deployed capital into smaller size trades which tend to generate higher margins. The company has over $7.6 million in net, short term receivables that are due in less than 60 days.

I would say your estimate is well within the range that would be reasonable.
I wrote to IR (Frank) last week and asked him to see if management could
include specific news about the America's business, what it is bringing to the
overall picture etc. He responded and told me he passed my information
on to management.
Trying to estimate August income though isn't easy - it will be first reports on the
America's business and we aren't sure how much income has been lost from
the Ukraine ports.
Anyhow - we should know by Tuesday of next week - hopefully sooner.
BTW, I had a HARD time buying more today at 1.01 - seems like the brokers
wanted to trade amongst themselves - I was only able to grab 1000 more shares
and I got that in bits and pieces. 100 shares, 17 shares, 12 shares, 25 shares,
383 shares, 400 shares and then the final 63 right before regular hours closing.
In other words - there wasn't any DUMPING going on at all today.
