"Crossrider's vision is to be the de facto global platform for the digital advertising sector. The first six months of the year has seen organic growth across our platforms, particularly in mobile. The key to being at the cutting edge of our rapidly growing market place is our continued investment in technology and we are very excited by the recent investment in programmatic media buying and video technology which create the building blocks for future growth. Additionally, we continue to search for suitable earnings accretive acquisitions and are evaluating a number of meaningful opportunities."

Folk: just have a look at this one> More than half of its market value is held in cash. Making the rest PE around 6. Am I missing something? Looks cheap and growing.
